thanks for posting. this is exactly the video i was looking for. I am picking up a pair of these pre-owned with complete packaging from a neighbouring city. need to move them in my basement
glad to hear that Nilesh! please subscribe, like, and share if you haven't already :) make sure to get a pair of dedicated 240v lines installed to extract all of the power capabilities of this beast of a sub!
@@petersharps3923 a 24 beer pack, pizza, and some strong friends - movers straps and some ratchet straps did the job. Movers dolly was useless to move them down the stairs. Kept the them in the package to avoid any damage. I now have two sub1s and two sub2s - all preowned but decent condition- playing in four corners. Dune 2 was earth moving last weekend. I’d never go back to ported subs. These sig subs are the endgame for me. Hopefully paradigm keeps woofers and parts supplies available for the years to come if something goes wrong just in case. Running the sub2s on 220v lines. Insane.
here's my take...for the price, the JTR is an unreal performer, however it's a massive unsightly box. i would not consider it under any circumstances to be used in any application other than behind an AT screen. by comparison, the paradigm despite being very expensive, is the smallest AND the most powerful sub on the market that i'm aware of while being super sexy - it can go anywhere with how good it looks and how small it is sub 2 ±3 dB 9Hz - 260Hz 4500w continuous w/ 9000w peak 230lb. 24.5" × 23.75" × 22.375" 4kulf ±3 dB 10.5-125hz 4000w continuous 265lb. 41″ x 20.5″ x 39.5″

@@audioexperience here is video from SUB2 in action? :) btw. Do you know the Spec of Tech YT channel where the owner tests the most powerful subwoofers on the market? But he couldn't get SUB 2 for testing because so few distributors have SUB 2 in their company. :(
if you had an opportunity to experience this subwoofer for yourself you would have a different opinion i can assure you. but if it's budget / bang for buck you're chasing then sure this isn't the right product for you. what the sub 2 does is objectively provide the highest SPL output, deepest bass, most powerful continuous power subwoofer in the smallest footprint available and does so while subjectively having the highest aesthetic value of any other subwoofer on the market to boot

Is this better than the JL Audio Gotham 213?

I want 4 in my theater. I have 4 persona subs. I think the sub2 would be better
there's no question it will be better! significantly more power and substantially deeper bass extension with the sub 2 !
I want four of them. Did you get my pictures
@@reginaldnutter6613 yes i did - i emailed you back earlier this morning. did you receive that email? i will resend just to be safe.
Pretty safe bet lol
4??? how big is your room? SUB 2 easily fills the bass and shakes the living room with an area of up to 130 m2.
Is your house still okay?
LOL yes thanks to the way i built the showroom with suspended walls in rubber isomax clips but the main floor which was built prior without those things RATTLES like crazy!
