Thanks a lot for posting that link! Do they work well? Better than a conventonal sub in the same price range?

I have built the 12" servo kit on the site, and I can say it works VERY well. I built the sealed version, just over 2 cu ft, used 1.5" baltic birch ply for most walls. For HT 'rumbles' and effects, it is not a whole lot better than say, the Adire Rava (12" Shiva, sealed ~ 1.5 cu ft + 250w plate amp) that I have been A/Bing it with, but for any sort of music, it sounds significantly better. Well recorded kick drums sound perfect IMHO. It also integrates better at higher frequencies, I have it crossed at 120hz right now and though I can slightly localize some bass, I will soon be running a stereo pair as stands for my satellites, so this won't be an issue. The Rava I really didnt like crossing over 80hz, and 50hz sounded best. Don't get me wrong, the Rava is a great sub in its own right, but the Rythmik Servo is noticeably better for music.

You could DIY a comparable sub, (non-servo), for a bit less, but commercially there is nothing near the price that can touch the rythmik for sound quality on music. Also, the TC sounds sourced driver is of very high quality, as is the amp. All in all, If you are considering a 12" sub, and music will be a major part of its duty, it would be hard to do better IMO.
