Is there much of a difference in the amp, processing and other technicalities between the 10 and the 12? I looked at the website and read the details of both, and although there are differences, I don't really know what they mean.

So here's another question that has come up during discussions...We would like something that excels musically, and I am getting the distinct impression that the SVS's may be "too big".
Any recommendations?

You might want to consider a sealed sub, many people feel they are more accurate for music.

Ian has had some strong words about that in the past. His stance is that overall sub design matters a lot more than whether it's sealed or ported.

That is pretty much what I have heard from other designers.

Any recommendations? If you are at all handy I would suggest this kit from Creative Sound Passive radiators offer the advantage of low extension of a ported sub with the size of a sealed design. It is also a relatively easy build and will outperform anything in that price range in a commercial sub.

I can say that i truly love my SVS sub BUT if you are looking to have dance parties at the house then maybe a different one is for you as I dont feel that my PD12-NSD is as good as it gets for music but yet is better than anything i have had. I think that maybe the SVS is more tuned for lower frequencies than heard is most music. This is all amateur opinion of course. For movies i cant imagine anything else in its price range really out performing it.

You might want to consider a sealed sub, many people feel they are more accurate for music. I think those of us who grew up in car audio have that belief firmly embedded in our brains. That's because in large part if you grew up in car audio and wanted MAX SPL, you went with a ported subwoofer. Those who wanted to be able to distinguish one bass note from the next knew to get a sealed sub. It seems that back then anyways it must have been easier to get maximum volume from the ported design and vice versa for the sealed design. I don't know, I don't design subwoofers for a living, all I know is that is what EVERYONE would tell you when you were putting a system together. Walk into any car audio shop and the first thing out of their mouth was... "What's your pleasure, SPL, or SQ"? If you answered SPL they dropped a ported sub into your trunk and you were done. If you considered yourself an audiophile, then they hooked you up with a sealed sub. Old habits die hard.

very good point as that is still my belief right or wrong. i think of sealed as tighter and cleaner and ported as louder but boomier with less precision.
