Have purchased the 6i
Huge bass from an efficient class 'h' bash amplifier.
I find it much better for 5.1 home theater than for music so far. What will you be using it for?
It doesn't have to work very hard either. I have the volume level set very close to the bottom and it will blow me out of a 15' x 25' room.
I'm starting to wonder if the 5i would have been enough.
Have you had a listen to the 5i? If so what did you think? |

The PSB Subsonic 6i has been getting considerable talk lately in the other forums. Tom Nousaine, A highly regarded reviewer, tested the sub with very good results. http://www.soundandvisionmag.com/article.asp?section_id=5&article_id=663&page_nu mber=9.
A very nice sub. It may not get quite the max spl's as the SVS or HSU offerings in the same price range. But it does play DEEP and clean.
The sub will work great in medium sized rooms.

The funny thing, according to those numbers, it does play as clean as a Hsu in the price range, since it beat out the LFM-1 which is arguably a Hsu STF-3 |

I would like to see the VTF-3 MK II tested by Nousainne. The STF-3 is supposed to be comparable to the VTF-3 in max output mode. The PSB was considerably louder than the LFM-1 at 20Hz. According to HSU the LFM-1 was designed to roll off at 25Hz. |

I've been told by different people that to big a sub on a small amp will blow the sub. Is this fact or fiction? What do they mean? I have recently purchased an eclipse 9102 10" titanium. I'm scared to hook it up to my Fultron 150watt x2 amp. Will this amp blow my sub, & what would you suggest to pair with this sub? THANKX |

speakers blow more often from too much distortion than from too much power. As long as you are not overdriving the amp to high distortion levels you should be fine. More power "usually" equates to louder levels with less distortion on quality amps. A low quality amp will produce more distortion at it's spec'ed power from the manufacturer than a higher quality amp would.
As far as specific amps and subs for Car Stereo I would not know. I have not researched Car audio as much as home audio. |
