After being unsatified with the b&m stores' subs and those prices, I took a leap and purchase an SVS cylinder two years ago. Just like Outlaw, they stand behind their product, respond personally to your questions, have a wonderful home trial program, and make a great product. I was so satisfied with this purchase that I did not hesitate to buy over the internet when I purchased my preamp and amp, (the 950/770 combo). SVS makes subs, it's what they do, and they do it well! I would not hesitate to purchase one. I have had no experience with Outlaw's sub so I have no recommendation as to which company to buy from.
