what do you think of infinity subwoofers?

[CyberCowboy]

i want to buy this Infinity PS-12 subwoofer for my home theater system.

but I can't find a single review.

so i'll just resort to asking you guys (and girls) what your experiences with infinity subs are.

I've heard that the higher end infinity's are awesome. thats just what i've heard though.

 

[Ameesh]

velodynes are nicer.

 

[DaveSimmons]

From my experience with speakers, infinity is a half-step below Polk but still way above off-brands like KLH. And like Ameesh says, Velodynes are nicer.

Did you check audioreviews.com and cnet.com for reviews? Google?

 

[CyberCowboy]

audioreview.com doesn't seem to have any reviews for the infinity PS-X series.
cnet has a review on the PS-10, but that doesn't help me any. I can't seem to find any reviews on this PS-12 unit.

and I can't find anything on google either. (maybe i'm not good at google... i don't know)

They're not bad. I've had an Infinity HPS1000 (1000w amplifier, 15" driver, two 15" radiators).

For around $400-500, there are better choices though.

Velodyne is nice, but definitely NOT for the money.

My sub (coming as soon as they finish the colormatching)

Older review of pair of SVS CS Ultras with only 1000w beating up on Velodyne's then top of the line HGS-18.

The B4+ is roughly as powerful as 3 of their CS Ultra's. Will be driving it with a 2500w bridged amp, probably a Crown K2 or a QSC PLX3002 or something.

That SVS B4 is a monster! Should be amazing.

I've owned a 12" Infinity sub for about 9 years for use with my home theatre setups (which have changed receivers/other speakers many times) and it has always performed well.

It is the only thing that hasn't been changed on the whole setup, I'd recommend Infinity.

 

[CyberCowboy]

alright... I'm gonna take a chance on this infinity ps-12 subwoofer.

It's $484 after tax (free shipping) at circuit city.com... (is this a good deal?). But there's a $30 Mail in rebate and 10% worth of Gift Cards that i have to get in the mail.

that makes it about $400 after rebates, (which is still cheaper than the comparable velodyne models).

One question though... if I buy from circuitcity.com and don't like it, can I return or exchange it at an actual circuit city store? I'm not too familiar with returns and exchanges...

thanks for your suggestions

You'll get more cleaner output with something like this:

Adire Rava for $399 plus $35-45 shipping
