Have you had a chance to demo the psa tv21 ipal yet? I'm was wanting your opinion on that subwoofer
Comment from : Bryan Decker

best one is 8 x 21" krakens in two IBs and PLENTY of money left over for an amp to run them all will destroy yours, your neighbour's, and the city around it
Comment from : narmale

Your opening speak hits the mark 🤣 top 10 list usually are about under 1000us dollar well known brands with 300w power 🤣🤣 I really like my SVS SB 4000, but might change it to SVS PB16 Ultra at some point
Comment from : lauri perämäki

Have 2 of the FV25HP's, and for the price they are absolutely awesome! So sad they discontinued it
Comment from : XDUDE3D

One of the best audio video comparison videos on YouTube is the " speaker under 500/1k/5k ect" groupbrbrYou could make all kinds of lists Barrett!
Comment from : J WATTS

I know you included the PB-16 Ultra because it is the only subwoofer on the list you have heard… But I would kick that off for the Power sound Audio TV21 IPAL Other wise I would agree with your list ( not having heard all of them either)
Comment from : Scott Parsons

Subscribed 1st proper subwoofer list I have watched I have been in this hobby for a long time and know of all the subs you mentioned I have actually just downsized to dual pb4000s New Zealand doesn't get any big boy subs so the SVS are kind of the only option and we also get hammered with prices so no 16 ultras for me I had dual 7cft sealed 15s running off a pro amp and they were monsters but had to let them go If you do a sealed list don't forget Deep Sea Sound and Funk Audio!
Comment from : rob flynn

What driver is the 18" and 15" JTR? I'd be keen to know if it can be bought for a diy sub?
Comment from : Michael Robinson

Is the all new Dynaudio Focus 50 Active Wireless Speakers the best whole system at any price ?

Comment from : Craig Schray

i have a pb 2000 pro, boy does that 4000ulf look juicy, especially a pair of them
Comment from : kake52

How about a list of subs that people could realistically put in their living room without sacrificing too much on space or positioning? I mean, yeah these are the top 5 subs when it comes to all out power, but not everyone who is into home theater has a dedicated room or space for 2 mini fridges next to their sofa
Comment from : Smellslikegelfling

GSG Audio offerings are missing from the list Devastator with a 21” eminence or even a Marty 18” Grant typically low WAF lol!
Comment from : Fen Swann

Have you heard the Devastator Horn subwoofer? how does it compare?
Comment from : Yashaswi Belvadi

I would love to see a comparison between the Cap4000 and the TV42!
Comment from : M S

Curious if you've ever heard the Paradigm Signature Sub 2? I understand it's not under $5000, but bassed (pun intended) on your previous history I expect you've heard it?
Comment from : TFK 40

“Only provide vibration and sensation” brPeople pay thousands in kickers for what you can get with a decent subbrbrWhat no love for the monolith thx 16?
Comment from : gaurd3

Of these Subs, do they all have chuffing issues when playing some really low frequencies Shane mentioned he was having chuffing issues when playing the Edge of Tomorrow opening scene So i was wondering if this is a consistent issue with ported Subs Thanks!!!
Comment from : Dubs Cee

Are these subs safe for a house?brbrI've taken my pb2000, (level matched to 75db during calibration) to 70 db at the beginning of edge of tomorrow and I thought my house was going to collapse brbrAre these single digits Hz subwoofers honestly safe for a house? Is there and study done on this topic?
Comment from : Tim Brussels

Monolith 16
Comment from : Smurfie

I’m subwoofer shopping now What would you all recommend for a 15x15 room?
Comment from : Jason P

Great list, and I don’t think I’d change anything on it Much more valuable than the useless, computer generated lists that have zero value in making a purchase decision Well done!
Comment from : Mark Fontaine

“@ number one we have this piece of garbage “ I lol’ed so hard
Comment from : MrBonger888

Hi spec of tech, I have a question about the pb16 ultra I live in an apartment but I only have one neighbor connected to me will the pb16 give mechest thumping bass or do I need something more because the living room is not huge but large enough don't know the footage 🤔 but maybe the pb16 willbe to much for an apartment? If you could provide your input on this I would appreciate it thanks 😊 🙏
Comment from : Eros Vinsol

I KNEW IT!! THE CAP4000 IS KING!!!
Comment from : Infrasonic Rebasses

Ok I like the list, but what about sealed vs ported!? The great debate
Comment from : Ben Boyer

I just purchased the Focal Sopra no 1 Any recommendations for a sub that has good wife acceptance factor?
Comment from : midnight972002

9:40 base clip…beginning of edge of tomorrow -right?
Comment from : sfDAVE56

I don’t even know what you mentioned yet but just 15 seconds in I clicked like for the truth you said!! Lol
Comment from : Ro Co

Does it matter if you mix and match subs
Comment from : asus2012 bose

Any recommendations for subwoofers just for music? That can go with standmounters
Comment from : nishanth dsouza

Curious if you considered the Legacy Goliath in your subwoofer journey? (Passive radiator but…given your front stage…)
Comment from : Rob Bird

I have a pair of m-215's coming tomorrow Where do these stand in comparison?
Comment from : Dat Sun

As a guy with a PSA TV2112I really want to hear a JTR sub one daybrbrI really want to upgrade to the s42 ipal from PSA (X2) brbrBut just for fun, what do you personally think is the big difference between the sound characteristics of PSA's dual opposing 21" sealed beast(s42 ipal)vs your RS2's? Everyone always talks about the mid bass slam and how accurate the and tight the B&C drivers are(and as a tv2112 owner, I attest to that) But they also go well below 10hz with no effort So they aren't lacking there What other ways would you describe the difference personally?
Comment from : Sporegazm

Ordered up 2 Cap4000's, coming in a couple months :D
Comment from : Blake Ledarney

Love my tv2112wish i could have afforded 2brbrThat 42 is a beast!
Comment from : Sporegazm

Thank you so much for this video As usual JTR Captivator winsbrbrCan you also see Perilisten D215s vs JTR 4000ULF please?
Comment from : Jesson T Varghese

You’re the man, Barrett! Great video
Comment from : jason zimmerman

Some amazing subs here! I thought the SVS was a beast, but wow, I don’t think you would need two of those other monster subs I can’t imagine hearing two of those on a system Need to reinforce the whole house
Comment from : Scott McG

Great video can you do a top 6 list of best tower speakers under 5k for a pair? I love your channel because although your a audiophile your not snobbish about it and realize its all subjective You also give your honest opinion especially when it comes to price for example if something cost 1k and another speaker cost 5k you will be honest and say this 1k speaker sounds better if it actually does This is important cause lots of reviewers test out these 50k-1mill speakers and setups and lets face it thats just not ideal for the average listener You dont need to spend that kind of money to make a system sound good brbrTech only goes so far the ears can only hear and accept so much Its like 4k tvs are eyes can't even distinguish the difference from 1080p because our vision isnt good enough now they wanna make 8-16k tvs shits out of control they just trying to get consumers to spend more like if it cost more it means its better
Comment from : cryptonator1988

SVS subs might not have the best bang for buck, but they are damn gorgeous and manageable I have a PB13 in our living room and it's almost like a piece of furniture The rest of the subs are stronger, but clearly meant for dedicated theater rooms
Comment from : navid617

@Spech of Tech, have you ever tried the 'xtz 3x12' subwoofer? Audioholics have a good review on their website,
Comment from : mikail-jordan

They are all really nice and they def do the job I have always uses 10 inch or 8 inch subs they hit a lot harder
Comment from : Lee Hess

Klipsch subs are pretty lame

Comment from : don040870

Just because a subwoofer has the same driver that you've experienced doesn't mean that you actually understand what a difference model sounds like There different models for a reason and the main reason is always sound quality and change in amplifiers and box dimensions Just because you have, or have had the little brother or bigger brother of a subwoofer has absolutely nothing to do with understanding subwoofers you never actually heared
Comment from : Tech4Life

Most of the channels are created by individuals in 3rd world countries who don't even know what the products in their videos do
Comment from : Tech4Life

It cracks me up every time he says aboutaboat lol You Canadians are a trip favorite Canadians are the Trailer Park Boys, Bubbles followed by Ricky and Gulian Don't worry you rate above that pretty boy Ryan he's my least favorite Canadian
Comment from : Half Fast

Good list! Now having owned all the subs on this list except the rhythmic I can say without question PSA TV-42 vs JTR 4000ULF-ST are definitely deserving to be top of your list but I must add if you are looking for the absolute best SQ in a sub the PSA TV-42 wins that EASILY no competition that I have ever heard at this size range But if you are looking for the best sub to destroy your foundation in your home while sounding good the JTR 4000ULF wins that contest EASILY as well It's a no lose situation either way you get a awesome sub but unfortunately just remember you will have to deal with the extremely giant box it comes in
Comment from : BB

I was dying at the beginning of this video… it’s like who is pumping out those robot top 5 lists and for what reason? You should do best value sub lists… HSU makes fantastic subs and under $1000, they aren’t quite to the level of subs displayed here but the HSU ULS-15mk2 and VTF-15H can probably hang pretty close to the SB16 & PB16
Comment from : Mike Parana

TV21 Ipal should of been #6, it has over 2x the output of the PB16 ultra, almost a full octave more extension and cost significantly less I wouldn't be surprised if it matches the JTR 2400 Its also very compact given the size of the driver I would even take the FV18 over the pb16br* note the pb16 should been an honorable mention given the high WAF, but in terms of pure performances it doesn't belong
Comment from : Marc Gallant

I like these Please make more I’d also love to hear your thoughts on some DIY solutions, if you’ve heard them, as a comparison point
Comment from : Nathan Daniels

How much do you like the rs2’s
Comment from : Davey Crockett

Number 1 was not showing at all lol
Comment from : Davey Crockett

need to add in DiY bring on the Devastators!
Comment from : Jake Krawczuk

Why no deep sea sound with SI driver? 🤣🤣
Comment from : Daniel

In what world would there be a market for such high price powered subs I have 5 powered subs in my 71 stereophonic surround system none in that price range
Comment from : Daniel JGlowny

Good stuff I have 2 psa 21inch ipal subs they are sum beast of subs but the JTR is my next sub down the road just because I'm curious
Comment from : Mathieu King

Great list I have a pair of PSA TV21 IPALs and they are insane However, I believe the Moniprice THX 16” has more output than the SVS PB16
Comment from : Ali Drake

Barrett, what about the Monolith M215 Cheaper than the Pb 16 Ultra, way better below 20 hz than the pb 16 Ultra and $300 less!
Comment from : Daniel Maldonado

Nice review Out of all, the PB16 is the only one aesthetically pleasing that could be placed in a living / family room The others need to be in a dedicated room behind a screen
Comment from : William T

Very supportive of continued lists…and of robotic impressions of their lesser counterparts 😀brbrJust wanted to clarify Funk’s omission from the list Is it because the not commonly commercially available criteria, or does the output not compete in your mind?
Comment from : Jesse Aylward

Well if anyone wants to spend below 1500 go with gsg audio Pick your subwoofer or their recommendations And will have some serious low end monsters Why spend thousands on a subwoofer if its going behind a screen
Comment from : Joaquin Aguilar

I think the 'wife acceptance factor' needs to play a bit more into this listsome of those subs are absolute units and really not practical even in many dedicated home theatre spaces I'm assuming a sealed list is on the way? Cheers for the vid!
Comment from : CosmicF

Barrett, patiently waiting for your full JTR RS2 review appreciate you
Comment from : Roman

Hey mate, thanks for another awesome video Btw, where did you buy your audio rack? Did you buy direct? or from another vendor
Comment from : a631

@Spec Of Tech another suggestion:brbra video about "cracy" or "unique" subwoofers And I don't mean those with "just" high outputbrRather about Subwoofers with an high order enclosure, a new/unique concept or something like that brFor Example:brbrthe Infrasonic Subwoofers from Ascendo (50 Inch!!!) where a two way subwoofer system (like two way bookshelf) comes to playbrbrRotary Subwoofers (look it up, I don't know how to explain quickly) brbrPerlisten D215s, Gene from audioholics talked about what's so special in a Video "The world's most accurate subwoofer" brbrA video like that probably wouldn't be a buying guide (so no price restrictions needed) I would love to see you explain the "special designs/concepts" behind those subs It would be interesting, at least for me XD
Comment from : Happy Fisch

hi thanks for this video, I have an issue humming sound comes from Switch Mode Power Supply and also humming sound comes from my speaker after connecting the External Power Amplifier XPA 11 GEN 3 before using this External Amplifier I was connected with Marantz SR8015 and wasn't there this issue, I don't know how to solve this issue if I use power conditioner it may solve this issue or not because I'm planning to buy a ' Taga PC - 5000 ' Power Conditioner do you think it's going to solve this issue or not if you have also any suggestion I'll be appreciate that hope to assist me with it ASAP
Comment from : peter oussa

Great job & what kind of HDMI cable do you use? 😎👍
Comment from : Henry53

0:05 ten years ago when I looked up best home theater systems LMAO
Comment from : RJ

If it were my decision, I would put the JTR captivator 2400 above the Rythmik, but you're making the videos, so it's up to you :) Even the "baby" ported captivator has performance that boggles the mind My rattling windows can attest to that The only thing that keeps me from buying more JTR subwoofers is the 4+ month wait time 🙂
Comment from : Timothy Gustafson

Damn my Bose sub didn’t end up on the top 6 maybe top 50 😆
Comment from : fred215

Hey, I noticed you forgot to mention the BIC F12 😝
Comment from : Dave Sic

I would love to see more of these kind of videosbrSealed Subwoofers and different price classes 😉👍
Comment from : Happy Fisch

You need to put this video in the 'Extreme Bass subwoofers' section on your YouTube page
Comment from : Happy Fisch

Great list! I think the SVS belongs in that list based on performance versus size Very few wives like the 250lb dual sub cabinets and someone looking for solid all around movie bass in a smallish package at a decent price, SVS is a great option It may not be the sub for the bass fanatics who want to level the foundation of their house, buy 90 of enthusiasts will be very happy with a pair of them in their theaterbrbrLove the list idea, potentially one at a lower price range would be popular, especially since most want dual subs and $8-$10k is not doable for mostbrbrKeep up the great work!
Comment from : Shane Ducholke

Excellent choices Thank you for doing this and giving a brief description of each subwoofer Looking forward to your top Sealed subwoofer compilation
Comment from : Troy Stevens

Outstanding list! Proud owner of a PAIR of PSA 3600i subs, and they bloody rock!!!
Comment from : Rayo Sarkari

Finally a real list buy a real enthusiast not paid by companies to promote their garbage I created a similar list recently and had SVS at the bottom as well It's the gateway drug into the bass world, great marketing and customer service but performance is not in the big leagueswhich is fine Anyways, very well thought out list
Comment from : MusclesAVS

Love the list current have F-18s really interested in the RS2 from JTR!
Comment from : Alcozar

I got the Captivator 2400s which has slightly less output down low than the 2400ulf Plenty enough for me, more than I’ll actually use and I think aesthetically it looks better than the ulf That’s all opinion based but 2 end game subs none the less I agree with this list 100
Comment from : Joshua Peters

A pretty good list
Comment from : Michael Slocumb Sr

Would love a video for subwoofers under $2500

Comment from : Legendarymark112

PB-16 gets too much hate Glad to see it on this list Has a fantastic finish and beautiful driver Their customer service is second to none That TV42 IPAL is so devastating
Comment from : Keeping Up With The Jones

If my Rythmik FV18 isn't on this list I am unsubscribing😅🤣
