BIC America Formula F-12 vs Elac SUB1010

So there it is, this thing's a beast, yeah, so I got these back tire speakers sitting up a little higher on one, you know, a little step stool and the...

Yes, I've heard bad subwoofers before, but I'd rather have a Jamo or Elac Sub1010 than no sub at all. And yes I do agree premium subwoofers do sound better than a budget subwoofer.

A 12" subwoofer should also be able to go lower, it falls on its face below 25 Hz. You aren't going to get any subsonic bass out of this one, it just can't do it. I have my eye on an SVS PB-2000 Pro now, which should be in another league for power and clarity. The BIC is NOT a bad sub, again there's nothing else that can hang with this for less than $400-500, but it's always true that you get what you pay for

This Elac sub is a cheaper sounding bass but it has a 10 inch subwoofer and it move the air more than a 5.25inch woofer. If you play with the settings and blend this sub with the JBL530, you can add more bass to the JBL530 without letting the cheaper sound/bass of the Elac from taking over and over powering the sound experience. If set just slightly too high, you get an unatural constant rumbling boom during moments when it is supposed to be quiet or when there is suppose to be ambient dramtic sound track or environmental effects

That's not low enough in my opinion, especially if you're just going to use one. I would maybe look at something different, although if your budget is...

This is a bargain now get it before the secret is out. NHT super zero's are a special bargain also, loved my JBL studio speakers but these are amazing little speakers, but must have sub like Elac to fully appreciate. Combo is music heaven for me.

I originally had a cable that I got from Walmart, that's a sub, woofer cable and it was kind of junk and it kind of cut out a bunch. And so I decided ...

Elac subwoofer sounds nothing like I have ever heard before. This subwoofer is amazing but I would like some information on how to hook it up correctly. I currently have a Sony receiver with the Elac Debut 6.5 bookshelf speakers and a Cerwin Vega Center Channel

All right, so we'll put you back there. And this has a 150 watt RMS, 475 watt peak amplifier, which I think is one of the highest rated amplifiers in ...

I regret not spending another $30-$50 for a Klipsch like I have elsewhere. It was cheap but the sonics explain why at 120 watts. It’s not the 10” speaker that’s the problem, it’s just under-powered. Get something better
