Help, my subwoofer is TOO BIG.

I got an STF-2 and was kind of dissapointed by it. It's not as loud as my friend's 12" cerwin vega. It does go lower though...

There are some great subs out there nowadays.

Problem is that most are complete OVERKILL.

Never. Well, overkill when it comes to power - but, not when it comes to sound quality, or the lower frequencies that they can produce. Even if you drop $700 on a new sub and never use all the power, hopefully, the sub is capable of hitting 20Hz or a bit below for excellent sound reproduction from some of the DVDs out there.

With that being said, I have a pro amp pushing 550 watts per side which I'll use to drive my Shivas. Sure, I'll never use all that the amp has to offer, but the price for the extra 250 watts (a side) was a no-brainer and I'd like to use the lower side of the amp's power without straining it much.

I want to buy your sub soooooooo bad. Damn me for reading the Millionaire Next Door. 😛 Now I want to buy, but not bad enough to actually pull the trigger. 😉

Whoa Easy there. You can beat your desires

Oh, I know. I don't have as much of a problem beating my desires anymore, though I know I can get better. 🙂

Hey Apex!

If you want to audition my sub sometime, let me know. I'm in San Pedro.

Sounds good. I'll let you know if and when the Crown K2 ever arives, and you can compare the VTF3mk2 with the B4+.
