Best Praise
+12 pts“I’d strap a PB16 to my head if I was strong enough to carry it that way. 1000x yes.”

ViewTop Criticism
+3 pts“If you have SVS subs I would not recommend plugging ports unless you're plugging all of them and running in sealed mode. I have dual PB16s and the port chuffing is pretty bad when running a single port plug and in extended mode. Some point in the near future I'll be getting rid of these subs since I really hate port chuffing.”
