In my quest for a subwoofer (again) I stumbled across the Costco and saw that they are selling 10" Klipsch (I think Synergy series) subwoofers for $199. Now, being the thinking man that I am, i pondered if I get one $600 12" SVS box sub or I could get 2 10" Klipsch subs and save $200 for like a tv. Would I still be better off with a SVS or would 2 Klipschs do the job?

I think you are looking at apples and oranges.

Klipsch are 10 inch fiber cones. SVS 12 inch aluminum cone and 325 watt amp.

Hsu has a good 399 sub.

If those are my two choices, the single SVS wins hands down. The PB12-ISD or even the HSU VTF3-MKII would work just fine and dandy.

I understand the SVS or HSU will be much better but I am comparing apples and oranges...that is an apple is nice but can i live with 2 oranges instead.

two poor sounding subs make poor sounding bass or one sweet sounding sub making sweet sounding bass. . . hmmmmm let's think

Briant, how about one SVS PB10-ISD instead? If you are going to spend 400 bucks, do it right.

there is a black vtf-3 mk11 on audiogon new in the box for 600.00

Ok, I think I have narrowed down a list of subs to think about:

HSU STF-3 ($599)
HSU VTF-2 MK 2 ($499)
Klipsch Sub-12 ($450)
SVS PB-12/ISD ($599)

I really prefer 12 in sub but if furniture and stuff kills all the money, I would probably consider the PB-10 for $429.
