Hello everyone!
I've been reading these forums for awhile now and very interested in the CraigSUB VS-18.1 with the Dayton 1000 amp.
Currently I have a 9.1 setup with Axiom speakers & Onkyo NR3008 AVR. I used to have dual EP500 Axiom subs, but I sold one of them. The duals served me well and since I only have one left now, I am currently selling this one to upgrade to one very powerful sub. Been looking at all the brands from SVS, Epik, JTR caps, Rhythmic, etc.
My room is about 4000 cuft and my listening is 60/40 = movies/music respectively.
My budget goal is to stay below or around $1500.00. I would like to go dual subs again, but need to watch the WAF...so just going for one sub for now.
So I've narrowed it down to either the CraigSUB VS-18.1 or the JTR Cap 1000.
My questions are...
How is the VS-18 for music?
With the VS-18 being 8 ohm, I'm only getting about 490 watts from the Dayton. The JTR 1K (from what I've read) is a Dayton 1000w Plate amp, speaker is 4 ohm's and getting around 950 watts. I can't get the VS-18 in 4 ohm?
The JTR will cost me more, but I'm really thinking it would not be worth the extra dollars?? Maybe a few DB's?? if that...
Also, I am assuming the VS-18 comes with regular binding posts on the back for speaker wire?
Sorry for the long post and the questions, any help would be greatly appreciated...
Respectfully,
Dana
