[QUOTE="Doxquzme, post: 8869456, member: 689267"] At $600 the hertz are going to outperform both these Pios and the NVX, different ball game altogether. If that is within the realm of possibilities, then another grouping from CDT would be something that I would consider. The hertz have silk domes and while accurate have a more laidback signature asis normal when comparing alloy to silks. The NVX are similar but are not nearly as accurate as the Hertz in this pairing, apples and oranges. The HX300 is a good subwoofer, and $250+ without a box (providing that you can even get one in the US without paying another $75 in shipping). While it takes a smaller box ported, approximately 1.25" to 1.5" to reach the desired tuning frequency of 40hz, your still talking about $350- $425. The sealed option is really small at 18L or around .6 to .8 cu ft but the tuning frequency jumps WAY up to around 50hz at best! If that kind of $$s are on the table, there are combinations from Si or Hi-Q that come to mind before going with the Hertz. Was trying to stay on budget. I don't think you can do better for the $$$ on a sub than that NVX, ported or sealed, currently. [/QUOTE]
