SVS PB1-ISD may be good but the frequency response in their spec isn’t as deep as Adire’s Dharman. Shiva driver with the enclosure and ports as shown can hit very low (below 20 HZ). I know, because my Shiva sub is about the same size. You can feel it in your chest cavity and your tail bone (sitting down) during an explosion scene in a movie. Good DVDs to do this is Star War I & II, both Lord of The Rings and some others you can find out from Favorite Demos Saloon.
Go with Adire and don’t forget to check out other Shiva combinations here (budget, performance & high output): http://www.acoustic-visions.com/~acoustic/products/subwoofers/complete_kits/
