Jedi Joe Posted September 1, 2007 Share Posted September 1, 2007 Good Afternoon, I am in the market for a good, but second hand Subwoofer for interim HT duties for the next 6 months. I am not looking to spend anymore then $600 as it is only a stop-gap for the next 6 or so months. So if anyone is looking to upgrade their existing sub and happy to sell in my price range please post me some info on it One thing: I would prefer it not to be black. Cheers Joe.

Andre281503560612 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 I saw an advertised special in a Sydney paper today. A sony Subwoofer retailing at $599 running out @ $299. Not sure if its nation wide, it was from a sony store, possibly owned by Bing Lee. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phealey21 Posted September 2, 2007 Share Posted September 2, 2007 If you can't find anything second hand, with that budget you can easily get the Richter KRAKATOA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jedi Joe Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Hi All, Just an update, I have found a Sub to fullfill my requirments for the next few months. I ended up Buying a Wharfedale SW-150 Subwoofer Secondhand for mid $200's. It was in absolute mint condition and Rosenut in colour and even included a good Subwoofer cable. Thanks to all those who made offers, particularly Rusty1 for being kind enough to allow me to test out his sub for the night . Joe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quijibo Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 I think that 10" wharfedale might be the same subwoofer I have been using for the last couple of years. While it works pretty well it fails to pump out the really deep stuff. I have been looking around for a new subwoofer as I have a much larger room to fill now and that 'little' wharfedale just doesn't cut it anymore. Actually I reckon it fails miserably. I am sure their 15" models would work a treat, but my little 10" (I reckon it has the smallest 10" driver I've ever seen) is headed for the scrap yard... actually I promised to sell it to a mate. Anyway I am a bit tight on for cash right now but I wanted to buy a serious subwoofer. So against what I thought was my better judgement I ended up bidding on and winning one of the dream 15" subs on ebay. I was annoyed with myself when I won it. I have bid on and won so much garbage on that site. But I have to say what a massive difference is has made. The bass from this thing is deep, clean and very impressive. I've tried their 12" models before and on those models the bass is deeper than the wharfedale, but it is heavily distorted especially at high levels and is not very nice to listen too. The sound from the 15" model is brilliant. I never thought I'd hear bass of this depth and quality from such a cheap box, but I am totally blown away by it. I've only had mine for just over a week now and I have only just broken it in with a few tests, but I can seriously recommend these things to anyone looking for a good cheap subwoofer.

Since its only an interim thing until We move im sure it will be ok. The next sub upgrade will be a perminent one (I hope) Looking to budget for a sub around $2500 - $3000 when that time comes.

I didnt really concider the Dream stuff, probably would have been ok for my needs at the moment. Be good to hear how your finding it after a month or two.
