Why don't you pick up the HSU from their dealer in Singapore and bring it as personal baggage? I did the same and paid Rs.2000 as customs duty!! If you have a frequent flyer card with some airline they will allow you to carry extra weight without any hassles.
Cheers

It's 45 Kilos! I am already carrying surround and center speakers back with me, so unfortunately that's not an option.
Does anyone know of cheap freight options from Singapore to India?

Check with the dealer as well as regular couriers such as Fedex and DHL. If you can wait for some time, I am sure they will offer better prices than their one day or two day charges. You can also try the Airline you are flying and see if they will bring it as cargo.
But if you ship it any way, you have to go to customs and clear it yourself, or through a freight agent.

Another option for you! Rythmic Audio kits are well known and highly regarded among LFE lovers 
. The kit comes with template, measurement for cabinet etc
Hope this will reduce customs duty & import charges

Sunil,
You've really got me thinking about a DIY sub! Rythmik might be just the thing for me.

I found a post on another forum with photographs of the cabinet construction

I know Nick personally, read his thread here
This is richard's one, you can see a lot more detail in his thread regarding construction. Richard originally planned to buy my SVS PC+, but carried away with his interest in DIY project
Another one with 15" kit.
enough reading for a day?
pnredkar: Cutting pieces for cabinet is simple task, but get the bracing perfectly is the trick, but doable in a day or two. If you are going for front firing, make sure you are flush fitting the driver for better finish.
Srikanth must have something to add

So, have you decided on this sub? Would appreciate your comments...
since it is an HT + Music use vandersteen 2q is an option. try getting in touch with the international distributor in the US. he may be able to give a 10-20% reduction in MRP for shipment to India. there is a distributor in india but he apparently does not respond.
I had heard this from one of the forum members here who should be able to give more details..

I went ahead and built a DIY Sub using the Eminence Lab 12 driver
I bought a Tapco Juice 2500 Pro amp to power the subwoofer.
It's all worked out very well and am very happy with the build. I will post pics and details soon.

Thanks much!
I've read this along with 2 other links to subwoofer discussions someone else had put together. But am still looking for an answer: which subwoofer to buy?
My setup & usage:
- Jamo E7 set (no sub) with E770 L/R floorstanders, Yamaha old amp @ 85 wpc
- Usage is 80% movies, 20% music and in both I feel a lack of deep bass. Most of the time I can't play the system very loud coz of my 1 year old. So I need something that will add punch to both at low volumes
- Room size is small: maybe 10 x 12 feet
If I have a budget of 25K, what are the brands/models I should go look for? Haven't auditioned anything yet except the Jamo sub while buying the speakers and didn't like that.
Pls help - any suggestion is welcome coz I really have no idea where to start!

I started this thread a few months in the persuit of a Subwoofer. I finally decided to build a sub. You can read about it on the DIY section.
