Hi Guys,
I am looking for a subwoofer. I live in India and a friend of mine will be purchasing it in US and bringing it to India for me. He’s traveling by british air, and they don’t allow packages above 32kg (70 lbs). So the final shipping weight of the package needs to be within this limit. Also, the sub should support 220volts.
Usage:
50% movies, 50% music.
I mainly listen to classic rock, blues, heavy metal, jazz, classical music etc.
Current setup:
Yamaha RX-V663 AVR, marantz cd6000 OSE cd player, B&W 602 S2 for mains, LCR 600S3 center channel, B&W rock solid for surrounds, HTPC with M-Audio revolution 7.1 sound card.
Listening area
The main listening area is 19.5 x 18.5 x 10.5
3787 cubic feet. The system is kept along the 18.5 ft wall. The listening positions is about 11-12 ft.
But the Dining and open kitchen is attached to it, and the total area is 31.5 ft x 18.5 x 10.5 = 6118 cubic feet
So I guess I should consider the room to be 6118 cubic feet for subwoofer purchase purpose, right?
What specs at a minimum I should be looking for a sub.
Now the problem is that I guess I need a large sub, which the airlines wont allow me to carry, hence I need to go for a sub which is relatively smaller and/or lighter and still will do the job. The following subs are possible candidates as of now. Please tell me if these are going to be enough or not for this listening area. Any other good options?
SVS SB12 Plus
Epik Vanquish. (75 lbs, trying to figure out if this one is possible by something out of the package). 12â€, 600w, 20 - 500 Hz +/-3 dB, 14.5 H x 14.5 W x 14.5 D (15.5 w/ grill), 75lbs. Shipped

Def tech super cube, which one? Can I get a 220v version in US?
Monitor Audio RSW12, can I get a 220v version in US?
I saw a lot of sunfire subs being touted as good and small, how good are these, any particular model that will suit my needs.
My budget is about 800$ including shipping in US. I don’t mind buying a used one as long as its in good not very old and in good condition. The sub should not have a bad breakdown history. Can afford to send it to US for repairs. So, nothing like mfw-15, anyway its too heavy.
I saw some subs with small drivers and a small passive radiator, what is it and how useful/good is it.
Thanx
