What is the difference between this sub and the PL-200? I am replacing a JBL subwoofer that broke in my surround sound setup.

I have owned jbl, lava and pioneer powered subs. By far the bic12 has been the best fer the price. It has some great bass that the others did not produce. Im not sure of the PL-200. If price is comparable you wont go wrong in my opinoin with the bic12. hope this has helped.

The pl-200 is just an upgraded version. 250w rms amp compared to the bic f12s 150w rms. I own the f12 and an very impressed. If your budget allows the pl-200, go for it, but for 95% of people the f12 does a fantastic job.

If you have the extra $200 bucks to spare for the SVS give it a shot, try it out, they have a customer satisfaction trial return window if it doesn't feel right to you return it. I have not heard the SVS pb so I can't compare. I have an SVS tube with amp. It is quality sound but not too room filling. I added this Klipsch 12 HG and wow what a difference. Hands down it has more room filling bass for my movies. You can spend a lot of money for promised quality or you can spend the right amount for the delivered quality your looking for. I started with one SVS sub and over time have gone for two subs (Klipsch 12HG) and that is an awesome set up. FYI- I have two Klipsch subs in my game room also, for the price, it's a great deal. Enjoy!

i have a Polk PSW125 Sub, that i have had for a while, it sounds great with the Klipsch Quintet 5.0 speakers, i think that any good powered sub, will do fine.

It was for me. I really like my Dayton Sub 1000 for my basement budget system. But there was too big a difference with that and my Polk PSW505 in my main system. The Sub-1200 was a big improvement. My Polk PSW505 still blows the 1200 away, but it closes the gap a bit. It's perfect for my budget system. I feel that you get a lot more subwoofer for $20 more with the 1200. If I were you though, I would get the Polk PSW505 which is on sale for $199 right now. It's a steal at that price. You do live in a studio apartment so it could be too much. With all that being said, I think the Sub-1200 is a great buy. Great sub for this price. Check out my review for more info on the Dayton Sub-1200

Dear Grant,Thanks so much for your inquiry. The Klipsch RF-62 II Floorstanding speakers are awesome. Terrific clarity, great imaging, decent amount of bass. They are not, however, a subwoofer, which is amplified speaker that does bass only. One certainly cannot replace the other--they accomplish two different things in your system. Please let me know if I can be of any additional assistance.Regards,Eric CohenWorld Wide Stereo

I purchased a separate subwoofer to compliment the speaker. I am totally satisfied with this system; the sound is amazing! I recommend this system without reservation.

I dont think it matters. It depends on how powerful you wanted it to sound. I live in an apartment and the sub above is what I have and it rattles the whole complex and thats not in full blast. Its a good purchase on my end. It depends on your sound tolerance. Sometimes the bass is too loud it feels like youre having a heartattack! I kid you not!

I've been happy with wiring the second inputs separately on the big L and R speakers and using that for the low end, but I'm also not a major bass-head. I'd suggest trying that first and then if you feel you need to add a sub, do it.

I have not noticed any difference. I initially had it connected with a Y splitter now just a single cable connected to the Left per the documentation. All is well and am extremely happy with the sound and performance of this sub.

I don't know but, I would not buy this subwoofer as the one I purchased failed to work very shortly after my purchase.

You can use your own..I did anyways. Just so you know I only had my subwoofer for 2 days. Its been months now and its not fixed. The sub is really crappy. It broke twice. I just bought a energy sub and the system now rocks. Just thought you would like to know.

I have a JBL sub with 2 inputs (L+R), the left goes to a line level control. My amplifier only has 1 sub out, I connected the cable to the left input of the sub. Really works great.

I have the upa-200 & I have 2 parasound HCA-800's in bridged mono-block mode! I do not think there is much difference between the sound; regular stereo or bridged, or for that matter between the parasound & the EMO.

Hi Tony, your analysis was very useful. I'm considering the 830's or 820's for my home theater setup. I'm currently using the floor-standing S-10 studio series without a subwoofer, but I now need to switch to wall-mounted front speakers due to the layout of my room.My questions are:1. If I use the 830's or the 820's as my front speakers, will I need a subwoofer?2. I already have a center speaker (non-JBL). Do I need to replace it?3. As an entirely different option, should I just replace my entire speaker set with one of the better JBL 5.1 packages? That way, I ensure compatibility. I'm thinking maybe the Cinema 500 system or the CS-6100BG package.Thanks in advance for your tips. Hi Tony, your analysis was very useful.

I'm not an expert,BUT in my opinion thru MY experiences, I would ask - if you have THE TOP OF THE LINE JL 13W7AE sub , why would you not go with an amp from JL.?? Get in contact with JL. They are glad to help with your questions. I used the JL 1200 amp. The speaker RMS is rated at 1500 watt RMS - what is the rating on the memphis ?? Next question is - do you just want loud music or do you want sound perfection ??? Some people have louder music than myself BUT everybody states to me that my system sounds better. QUALITY OUT WEIGHS LOUDNESS. My system has Clear deep bass - perfect impact mid range and crisp highs and ALL powered by JL AUDIO. I'm running 4- MHD 4-600 amps & 3 MHD 750 amps and a JL 1200 for the 13w7ae. Does NOT get any better. I'd like to put 4 of the new 8" speakers in my boat but I ran out of room.

With the system your planning to get above the pl-66 will blend nicely yes it would work awesome make sure when you place the 3 frond speakers left,center,right channel all tweeters are ear height the best and fastest way to do this is by getting a laser and throw a line horizontal accross for your surround speakers they need to be 2 feet down from ceiling sub woofer if possible in front and in the middle of the room if not you will need to do the crawl method to figure out with side will be best for the sub the right side or left side hope this help
