A factory order EP500 may be 10% cheaper.

Awesome bass and LFE.

The room is fairly average I guess-- 12x14x8 but it opens up into the dining room and kitchen. This sub doesn't knock you off the couch but you can feel the pressure and vibration. I want a 12" sub but the waf wouldn't allow it so I went with this 10" with the thought of upgrading within the next year after the wife gets used to this one.

That's the info I needed!!

Since "the wife" approved a dedicated HT room, I have a bit of flexibility All speakers will be hidden from view (for the WAF) with the exception of the sub. One of the subs I am considering is the Velodyne DLS5000 which packs a DSP and 15" driver -- roughly 20" x 21" x 20" in size (about $675 street). Talk about blowing you out of your seat. My neighbors may not like it too much, though

Thanks for the reply.

Steve, do you live in an apartment building, town home/condo or a detached home? "Neighbor factor" is the major concern I have, preventing me from getting a real HT in my apartment for now.

Yes, a condo with shared walls. Is that bad??

Just kidding. I live in a real house with about 6" walls full of insulation --> 10' attic --> More insulation --> Brick --> another 20' side yard --> nieghbors house. I should be relatively safe as long as I keep it down below 80db

Unfortunately yes, it is very bad to share walls with people...

Actually, she does not know about the size of this sucker yet -- and I'm still considering some smaller 12" subs.

I think I'll just buy the 15" and have it shipped to the house (during the day while I'm gone). She just see a huge box that weighs 85lbs and say "Another Home Theater thing, will it never stop?"

It will be tucked away in the front right corner of the room -- away from everything, so, hopefully, it won't be that noticeable Just have to keep it low at night so I don't scare my kids while they sleep -- they might think its thunder -- they hate thunder.

I've got a townhouse with shared walls and cranked it up when I first got it. Asked my neighbor on the other side of the wall the next day if he heard it the day before. He said he couldn't hear it. I guess we have good soundproofing

I as well need to upgrade my sub. I have my new HT room built in a sound proof room in my basement with a 80's system and a ep175 sub. I also have a Sunfire jr in my living room. Of all the subs I hve heard nothing seems to compare to the Sunfire. Of course the problem is the cost of the things, I bought mine off a friend, used.
Still I wonder what a comparable Axiom sub would be? My 175 just does not seem to be clean enough? Could the setup be wrong?

<<By the way, the soundtrack mix and low-frequency content on the re-make of "Flight of the phoenix" is spectacular. >>

Alan's right about this movie. Bought it over the weekend and watched tonight. I had to turn down the sub. Chairs were moving.

I liked the original version better being a Jimmy Stewart fan. I 'll look for that one too.
