Trying to decide between the SB16 and Energy power bar with built in sub any comments?

I havent tried that but i can tell u that SB16 had awsome sound for its price... Like how u can adjust sub and store it separate... Pretty loud and no distortion.. Am currently looking into buying another one once they go on sale... The sub is 100watts hope it answers ur question

I never used the energy power bar before but I really enjoy my sb16. It's loud, clear and clean when I put thr volume up. I also like the simple look of it as well. It doesn't have bluetooth if you want to sync your phone to it. I don't need that option since it's just for my tv. I'm very happy with my sb16.

Good for people who have hearing difficulties. While it does not fix everything, the sound is clearer and easier to understand. This could save some marriages.

Wii's are very efficient power sippers. I have multiple items that suck power even in standby mode. Savings would depend on what you have connected.

Overall the unit is designed to protect your most valuable "things" when it comes to electronics. So using a power bar would defeat this functionality if you were to add such things as lights but if you are talking another DVD player, PS, etc, I'd go ahead. The primary issue here would watts and you don't want to add something like a heater or hair dryer.

I'm using the Energy's with a Yamaha RX-V573 7.1 channel Network Receiver along with the Polk Audio PSW505 12-Inch Powered Subwoofer and 2 Sony SSF-7000 Floor-Standing 4-way Speaker with 8" Woofer. I use the Sony towers as my fronts and the Energy's as my side and back surrounds and of course the center channel is the center. The Energy's just have amazing clarity and if set up correctly are very well balanced. The Polk Sub is a great edition and puts out just the right amount of bass for my medium sized room. I'm still playing around trying to find the sweet spot for the sub but even now where it is up front next to my towers it sounds great.

I use the Alien Bee 400. I would actually like a bit more power, though, so I'd say go for the 800. Paulcbuff.com!

For the money go with the M250 IF you are in the southern states, south facing roof where you panel will be producing more power. If not then take the M215

Well I haven't heard the Yorkville LS801P Powered Subwoofer so I cant really say which is better. All I can tell you is the Cerwin Vega power and punch compared to many out there in the market. I would recommend you to go to a store where they have both and try them out and make your best choice.

Have you found an answer for your question? I am interested in purchasing it for my 700wx.....

I had one SA12 on 1200watts and it handled it like a champ. These subs are way underrated. Look into the Soundqubed HDS300's. They are about $50.00 cheaper. I replaced my SA with one and the HDS rapes the SA. Optimal enclosure specs on both. The Hds plays the lower end and the higher end quite noticeably better. But taking nothing away from the SA's. They are badass!

my PS is 650 watts and it running fine, but it really depends on how much other stuff is pulling down your PS. I would try it and you get sudden OS shutdowns then replace it with a 700- 750 watt. It is easy to swap out you can get a used 750 off ebay for $50

Craig, thanks for your response. I asked a salesperson at an electronics store and he says that the 165W is probably referring to the power consumption not the total power and that would be typical for a 290W sub. What ate your settings showing in S. cal. and ind. speaker settings, if you don't mind sharing?

This sub is extremely powerful. I haven't seen many soundbars that would adequately compliment this sub. There are some out there I would like to hear what you have.

IMO not at all, these things love power and it takes a lot to get one of these things to really move, I have mine in a custom ported box and it takes 1200 watts rms with ease. its spyder and suspension are pretty stiff considering it's more of an SQ sub. definitely reccommend getting something more powerful for it.

First, get the p3d4 you have more options with this sub. Secondly the p series subs are ( certified compliance ) meaning they do what they say- but under rated I'm running 2 p3d4 12's with a brutus elite 2100 at one ohm stable that's 2100 watts each

It depends on what you like 12inch or 15inch subs I have mine hook up too two 12inch mtx square subs and it rocks but i would say find you TWO subs you like maybe kicker pioneer mtx or kenwoods look for at least 1000 watt max subs

I have mine powered at 50w x4 and I would say the bass is fairly decent, it's punchy, but not very boomy. I definitely recommend backing these up with a small sub. Love the speakers, you won't find a better set for less than triple this price.
