Pros

  • Add two HSU VTF-2 MK5 for $759 ea.

  • Ideally, if you have **at least 15 inches of width** there to work with, I would put a HSU VTF-2 MK5 or PB-1000 Pro in that gap:
  • I was shopping the same models and ended up going with Hsu VTF-2 MK 5. It's a little outside your budget at $689, but you have a really big space for a single sub, and the Hsu has a big ported cabinet with a 12" driver, and loads of cle...
  • A couple HSU VTF-2 mk5's would get you reference level over 40hz but you'd be giving up ~3db below that vs the RSL.
