Keep in mind that PC12 graph from SVS is quasi-anechoic (ie. 2m ground plane), not in-room.... so you are not seeing the benefits of room gain in the frequency response like you are with the graph of the Ultra 12.

yeah I figured I would go with the PC12 but I also have a small room so I guess I'll just lower the gain so I don't blow the old ear drums

IMO always get the largest diaphragm you can when choosing a subwoofer. |

When did anyone talk about sub size? I think he was referring to when choosing a sub, just because you have a small room, it doesnt mean you should get sub with a small cone. Regardless of room size you want the biggest driver or drivers you can do comfortably. Bigger drivers give lower frequency extension since they push more air. Like my bedroom, its only 16x14, but I still use 2 15" drivers for it. Runner 2 above average sized sub drivers allows me to keep the gains and distortion to an absolute minimum, while giving me lower frequency extension for HT and smooth linear output for the frequency range they play. Heck, I may even do a third down the road depending on how my budget for my main theater upgrade pans out. |

I also agree about driver size. I use (2) 13s in a 17 x 12 room.
