Help with these 3 subs

[jmr27]

Hello all,

I have a pinnacle sub sonix 200watt sub. I may add anothe one soon.

Though i may look into the BIC f12 or the V1220. My room is 9x12x24, 8ft ceilings.

I have a Yamaha rx700 reciever. So my question is which is the better of the 3?

I heard 2 subs make a difference so this is what i may do; add 2 of either... or use just one BIC alone...sounds confusing yes... thx

its easier to calibrate two matching subs, so Id say get two of the F12s or V1220,

Whoa, a 4 dimensional room??? Won't all sound completely disappear into the 4th dimension?

callas01 is right; it's always best to match your subs. That makes integrating them easier and far more seamless. Is the sub sonix you have now still available? If so, that would be the least expensive way to go.

Its a bi level home, weird dimensions considering that half wall, The Pinnacle is still available so, i guess for the cost i shoud go that route. hoping the wattage/power is enough or is 2 overkill??

Overkill? I tend to doubt it. Your room is over 2500 CF, which is a pretty good amount of space to fill. If anything, you'll probably wonder why you didn't do it sooner.

Get another Pinnacle Sub Sonix 200 watt sub.
Subwoofers need to be identical and purchased in pairs.

To answer your question, the F-12 is probably the best out of the three.

The V1220 and F-12 are comparable except for the following differences:

1. V1220 is down-firing, while the F-12 is front-firing
2. F-12 has magnetic shielding
3. F-12 has a longer warranty (5 years on both driver and amp)

Both the V1220 and F-12 will likely offer more bass than the Sub Sonix because of the bigger driver (12" vs. 10") and lower low frequency (F-12: 25 Hz; V1220: 23 Hz; SubSonix: 33 Hz).

However, since you already have the SubSonix, you probably are better off getting a matching one (as the others have stated) for ease of calibrating.

They don't need to be identical, but it would make calibrating them a little easier. There are people who are using non-matching subs without any problems.

Thx, maybe down the road when i upgrade, I'll get the 2 F12's but the Subsonix is $150 bucks on Ebay so i will just get another one.

Makes sense.

Just an FYI though... shopblt.com has the F-12 for $190.84 (free shipping) and boatersworld.com has the V1220 for $166.94 (free shipping).

boatersworld? boatersworld?? A marine supply company??? So you can get an outboard motor, tacklebox and subwoofer all at the same time? Who would have thunk it...

BoatersWorld is just a storefront for Ritz Interactive. You can buy pretty much the same stuff at each of their websites. The nice thing about BoatersWorld is that you get free shipping, which isn't the case on the other Ritz Interactive websites.

The question is... are you looking for more bass/thump or simply for the same amount of bass but more coverage in the room?

If you're happy with the current amount of bass that you get from the SubSonix, but are looking to fill up the room/even it out, then get another one.

If you want more thump, then you're only going to get that by getting a different sub.
