This or the sealed 12" with the smaller foot print? Which is the more musical sub? Thanks, Steve

Both will sound great, but if you want to get into specifics, the ported sub will be a few decibels louder and the sealed sub will be able to go a bit deeper ~17Hz. I would recommend the ported one (PB series).

I have the 10" ported... sounds terrific. Deep lows, you can feel it in your chest. Sounds great with movies and music. But, after research, I believe the 12" sealed will be better for music.

The pb1000 is more of a theater sub. The selaed subs work better with music.

The ported has more room filling bass. I am quite happy with how mucis sounds with the ported. The sealed isn't as loud but has slightly better recovery. It doesn't dig as low but boyh are nice subs. Best in their price range I waould say. If you are trying to fill a large room with low bass or you enjoy rap or rock I would suggest the ported. If you enjoy classical or string and piano or are just using for music in smaller space I would recommend the sealed.

I've had the PB1000 for a few weeks now. For listening to music, you probably want the SB1000. I liked that the PB1000 gets down to 20Hz comfortably, but since I listen to music more than watch movies on my setup, I'm considering returning it for the SB1000.I should point out that it will depend on what kind of speakers you are using it with. I'm using it with some Orb Audio satellites, and in-ceiling speakers. For music, I'm definitely missing some of the mid/low bass because of this configuration. If you have some solid towers with 8-10" drivers to fill in that part of the spectrum, you'd likely be very happy with the PB1000. I've had the PB1000 for a few weeks now.

I'd say that's asking a lot from a 12" sub. My suggestion, go bigger and use multiple units (2, 4 or more).

I own a 12" that I use for DJing at home / small venues and it is amazing thinking on buying the 2nd to have the complete set. I works perfectly with the bluetooth feature and the sound is very good. Here are some recommendations regarding the different sizes, hopefully it helps with the decision. 8 inch Fine for speech 10 inch Fine for speech, background music and just vocals 12 inch Vocals, acoustic guitar, CD player, light keyboards, small/med venues 15 inch Anything else.... especially if you are mixing up the bass or kick drum, large venues

I played the 6 inch for years and just recently got the 12 inch. The 12 inch is much more convenient as it sits in your lap better, works well with a typical snare stand, and just offers more area to play on. The only benefit I can see with the 6 inch is that it's easier to travel with.

I do like Mackie speakers (my 828's in my studio are a favorite) -- but I was really blown away by the QSC's. That being said, there are things a 12" speakers will do that an 8" just can't. So...the K8's might well be perfect for you, but I'm certain the K12's would be! Try to find a pair of either the K8's or K12's to listen to. They blew my mind.

At first I had a sealed box but I eventually switched to a ported box. They both sound good. I just prefer ported

I love mine, but I am not a Klispch fan at all. I also have a 12 in sub. They compliment each other very well. Happy listener!

It actually works pretty good in a sealed enclosure. I bought an 8 inch sealed bass tube enclosure just to test out all the hype ive heard about this sub and I must say you definitely wont be disappointed

To date RF has updated their lineup including a 16" model.... Great for neighborhood domination but if u truly want to be felt not only heard there are better spl subs out.

Well the 500 watt subwoofer is the 10" one, the 12" is 600 Watts, as long as the amp can support 1 ohm it will. I'd go with the 12 bc it will hit the full range of notes,

12's are great. I wanted them also to get the great sound I remembered as a kid. The only difference with 15's is you get a bigger sub woofer. Which means better bass , I bought the 12's and put the cerwin vega bookshelfs with them for movies only. The 12's do the job very well and are crystal clear.

The 12 " size is useful if you want to mount it in a snare drum stand,(as I do) and is more stable on a regular surface due only to it's size, but both sizes feel very much like a real snare drum, the only other advantage of the smaller one would be portability and slightly lower price.

HiTo answer your question correctly, they both are 1000 watts , the main difference is the 15 inch has more full body sound and you can also use it without any sub if place you are playing is not big enough for adding a subwoofer . I would use the 12 for smaller venue up to 50 people vs the 15 that can handle over 75-100 people.Hope you are comfortable with my explanation and if you do need further assistance , you are welcome to call us 718/272/7228 . Thanks . Mike

It is a wonderful, well made and handsome box, but relatively smaller than even I anticipated. No complaint to seller, but you have to look carefully, and your 10" LP's would never fit. just go with the larger one if you have only a few to keep safe. I in fact bought a foot locker from the same company and it was a downright blessing, and a huge bargain. Good Luck ~(note: it states 7.75X : ) I missed it too.

It's sealed. Just as pictured. Also I paired it with a kenwood sub and the boss amp and it sounds flawless.

I only use the 15's, but I believe the the 12's should handle most events just fine with a sub.

Just got mine today 8-19-14 NOT the labrynth seal for mine. Ordered them through TGM Skateboards on Amazon since they were the same price but no sales tax & still free shipping, which saved me $8 over oergering direct from Amazon. Maybe through Amazon you'd get the Labrynth seals. I'm sure they're still awesome, but a bit disappointed. Oh well.
