SVS is currently running a closeout special on their PB12-NSD. It's $499 shipped, 5 year warranty and 45 day in home trial period. It goes down to 18Hz +/-3db. 400W continuous, 800W peak. It's gotten stellar reviews over they years. I ordered one for my bar area to complement the M5HPs. I'll be receiving it this week and will try it out on Friday.
I ordered a SB12-NSD for my son-in-law for Christmas for $399 (no tax, free shipping)... Got an email today that they oversold on them and he is now getting a SB-2000 instead (hits a few Hz lower, 500 RMS/1100 peak watt amp vs the 400/800 in the SB12-NSD). Nice! Ordered a model that has been out of production for a year, got a current model $699 sub (never really goes on sale) for $399. Pretty excited for him. I would have loved to get him a PB12-NSD instead of the sealed SB12-NSD, but size was a factor too.
Nothing against Axiom's subs at all, just fits the bill nicely.
