AC Shockwave The Xtreme Efficient SPL Subwoofer

[shizzzon 461]

Anybody ever hear of this company?

All they make is extremely high priced speakers and a single 10, 12 and 15.

They claim to build very high efficient spl subs but the cost is ridiculous.

For instance, they have a 10" sub that only uses a 2" coil, rated at 400wrms but goes for $1,000 new, $800 on ebay or $500 if you are sponsored.

Here is their site-

Holy Smokes! They want $580 for 1 inch tweeters with outboard crossovers? Pfft...I could build with ScanSpeak Revelators for less money and i'm sure it would be much better.

ahhhh, no comment

this company must be new new new new because their about us doesnt even work yet.

I'm assuming they are american based... but i'll just sit back and wait.

Funny how the sponsoring program deducts an instant 50% savings from the retail price.

That goes to show you how much money they plan on profiting...

They look like shitty subs.

The tweeters do have a blue LED that bounces off the woofers mirror cone.

Everyone knows blue sounds better.

Blue light special baby.

We might have a funky pup competitor on our hands.

there are a few threads on ca.com calling them out for boasting false spl #'s and so on.

Shockwave Strikes Again!

[shizzzon 461]

so.. sounds like they are trying to profit off people by promoting their products with ridiculous prices in hopes that people think higher is better...

Their specs seemed mighty questionable from the get-go, was curious as to why the price was so boasted.

Subs looked like rebadged Cadence stuff. Team DOA took a trip to their shop last fall since they're local.

Guy who owns the place is like an infomercial and actually seems to believe his hype. Told me I would be 5-7dB's louder with his subs and also mentioned a Civic with 2 of his 15's doing a 172dB.

I really wanted to do a "drop in" test in my car, but he wouldn't let me sign a waiver so I wouldn't be liable if a sub blew. I also learned that the subs have pretty much NO gap and can't be reconed. I asked him how they built them in the first place, but he couldn't answer that.

They will also play under water and are so efficient you can play them off HU power. Trust me by the time he was done I was ready to buy a Shamwow....
