I think my SVS did well with the test disc you brought over that one time. If I remember correctly, it got down pretty low on the pipe organ demo. And that's with the volume knob on the sub turned down. Yup, it played the 16Hz organ note pretty well. And so do my dual HSU ULS15MKIIs. |

Doesn't look like it. The track listing is not the same as on that CD and the HSU one contains lots of low warble tones as well sweeps and music excerpts. |

15Hz anechoic? No problem. Also cheap? Problem. Plus reaching 15Hz is possible with almost every subwoofer. Doing so at sufficient dbSPL, well now there's the rub.

It is not exactly what I would call "cheap," but if you want usable subsonics for things like deep pipe organ or EDM music, here is a $1599 commercial system that I'd recommend. 118 dbSPL @ 20Hz CEA rated, -3db @ 17Hz, rated output to 7Hz in-room. It should rock your world down to the low teens easily. And if you want more, Tom makes an 18" version for a bit more dinero. www.powersoundaudio.com/collections/subwoofers/products/s3000i |

Even with EQ, my vented subs just aren't doing it for organ pedal tones. Who makes inexpensive subs that go to 15 Hz. at -3 dB ANECHOIC (no room reinforcement)? Hi Boom, what is this organ pedal tones, you are listening to? |

What would be considered as inexpensive in your view?

I know that the room is NOT the issue. Why? I've previously had a DefTech Trinity (that I now wish I'd kept). That sub did true subsonic output and could compress your diaphragm on request.
I'll contact PowerSound & ask if they'll do a trade-in deal, but I'm expecting not.
"Plan B" is to ask PowerSound if they can sell me new shipping boxes so I can sell my existing XV-15s online.
If not, then since I've had no luck selling my subs on the local CraigsList, I may just keep them.
I'll agree that there probably won't be any "cheap" solutions that will do what I want.

Hi Boom, what is this organ pedal tones, you are listening to? Hi charlieeco - I listen to electronica pop (much of which uses subsonic tones), I also like classical organ (Bach, Charles Marie Widor, etc.), I also like pop artists, some of whom incorporate occasional subsonic effects (Roger Waters comes to mind). Now admittedly, these form a tiny minority of my listening, but when I know that subsonic tones should be part of the music, I want to hear them. Boomzilla |

I don't know where this song registers in terms of frequency, but it certainly rumbles my room, especially the part starting around 2:05.
The way I see it with subs, if you are the buying kind, not the building kind, and you really want audiophile quality, why not just go all the way with one of the better named brands, many of which have been mentioned already in this thread? Going all the way with subs isn't like going all the way with speakers. You can get some of the best subs on the planet, like say just for example the new SVS ones for $2000 or $2500. Not best bubs for the money, but best subs period. Of course you can always spend more, but I'm not talking about crazy stuff here. $2000 buys a lot of sub.
Boom, if you had just kept that Def Tech, you would have been good for life on a sub. (Not my business why you got rid of it) And for two subs, you might have been able to find one used now for cheaper. Instead of spending time "d*cking" around trying to find that needle in a haystack, why not just bite the bullet, go all the way, and be done with it? That's what I would do. But as we've said before, you and I are quite different folks.
