Which in-ground subwoofer/amp sounds best as a stand alone sub with outdoor speakers. Considering specing 2 of them with L,C,R and rears. Will be in pool area. Thanks in advance for the input...

Near IG series sound great; very Omni directional, very robust. I had a set on demo for a year. Still miss the rig... [Link: nearspeakers.com]

Still running with the James loudspeaker options. The small 8" units are great. Cost effective. James also have their 2.1 amp that can drive an L/R soundbar with a sub.

If you want ghetto bass go with snaps sub...the thing is monsterous but puts out some bass!
More articulate go with near or James

I have Episode setup. 2x 12" buried subs and several 6" satellites powered by single Crown CDI1000.
I'm very happy with it's performance

Price no object? The really big James Loudspeaker units, but you're talking a $13k subwoofer/amplifier package.

I can't compare to the other options mentioned here, but have installed 3-4 of the Episode 12" burial subs with Crown amplification and have been impressed with them. I think SnapAV also has some new options for smaller buried subs but I haven't tried them yet.

I haven't tried the smaller burial subs but have a 10" hardscape sub and a 12" burial sub as part of my demo system. The 10" isn't bad, but there is a very noticeable difference between the 2. Enough that I only spec the 12" on jobs. Hoping their burial 10" are a bit closer in output but I'd expect it's more on part with the hardscape sub.
