When I was searching they seemed to offer more bass for the buck than any other manufacture.

Jeez, Rick, you just didn't like the way I linked to the A5-350 or something?  Size matters. They have laws in physics! According to Aperion, The -3db point on the Bravus 8D is 35Hz. That's probably fine for most music, but I would personally prefer a bit deeper extension for movies.

I just went to eD's site, SVS' site, and Hsu's site.
The Outlaw EX is still the only sub near it's price range that is rated to 16Hz, +/- 2dB. I wonder how accurate that is, considering no one else is getting an extension spec like that.
Kinda sounds too good to be true.

You think you're going to notice the difference between 16Hz and 18Hz? In YOUR room? Bwa Ha Ha Ha Ha!!

By the specs that ED A5-350 looks to give you EP500 level performance.

I have the Outlaw LFM-1 EX. The -3 db point isn't quite as low as 16 Hz but it isn't a bad performer. I definitely get some sub-sonic rumbling going in our apartment! They have some great deals sometimes on free shipping, which is when I picked mine up.

DT, If $800 is in the ball park for you it would be worth your while to check out the Epik Empire and Legend. Brian, what do you think of the Epik? I've had my eye on this one for a while as well as the A5-350 and SVS SB12-NSD. I like the dual 15" drivers but am not sure of the side firing. What I don't like on the ED is that it doesn't come in SIMPLE black. My understanding is that in general sealed subs are better for music and ported for movies. How does the Epik perform in both?
