Title: Sub Recs
Post by: jpschust on May 02, 2004, 06:35:14 PM

guys,

I need some sub reccomendations to go with my maggies.  Here is what im looking for:

small
powered (i really dont want to deal with another amp if possible, ive already got two)
fast
not TOO expensive.

I think I'm probably going to get a pair of them, but just one for now.

they are going with my maggie 10.1 qr's

i dont have a set range for either.  probably 500ish range for the sub, the smaller the better.  my living room is only 13 x 18, nothing too huge

Just one of many possible options...

Good luck,

You might want to take a look at the Pinnacle Babyboomer.  I used it with my maggie mmgs and really liked it.  Still like it--using it with my Soliloquys now.  It's very small, maybe 11" cubed.  Same general design principle as the Sunfire jr.  Lists for $995, but I picked mine up shipped for $500.  That online place stopped selling shortly after I got mine, and the going price might be more like $600 these days.  Pinnacle also has a smaller one--the Subsonic which I think sells for about $400.  Can't say how that one performs.

FWIW, I've been happy with mine as well - also paired with my MMGs.  Gonna upgrade those MMGs one of these days, though...   8)
