Because most of the "grunt work" is handled by your midbasses. The sub is simply there to round things out below 40Hz where the mids simply run out of mechanical travel. Ideally, you wouldn't be able to even tell that there's a sub present, but if you turned it off they'd be something "missing" from the sound. Sounds weird to describe, but in person it's very obvious. Go see post #47 if you want to see what I was replying to...he asks the questions, I answer 'em, I don't know what his state of mind was, nor do I care to know

Not very surprising.

I don't know, I still think the Aura NS/MR series give the Mags some serious competition Not comparable in price or customer service, though...

Eh, just have some errands to do...get tickets for a class thing next week, get my student ID reactivated, grab some dinner... And of course everything I need is in opposite corners of campus. One of those Segway things might be useful

Enough

Amazon's not helping either. Argh.

Ack, I might actually have to buy CD's again...Oink's great but for some things they just aren't there...

If you're just making loud farting noises, I'd go with the Deeduhs.

The size of the sub is the least of your concerns, it certainly by itself won't make any difference how "quick" it sounds.

If it was a KX the choice would be harder.

No... I'd go with the IXL if you had the budget, the MJ if you don't. For true SQ it probably won't matter much anyway, to be honest.

Some do

No need for another exact same thread.

I don't see the reason for ghettofying the crossovers though.

Well, at least you're reducing the clusterfuck... Maybe next time you'll actually do something normal

It's a problem with an enclosure tuned that high. Harrison Labs makes inline subsonic filters that you plug into the amp interconnects, PE sells them.

It's a lot easier to say that you can't kill a speaker by underpowering. Because you can't. Ever. Unless there's a mechanical or QC issue. Clipping that leads to thermal damage is overpowering, period...doesn't matter if the user didn't intend for that or not.

There's going to be a impedance spike near tuning, unless you have a clamp meter I'd be very careful with this...

Have you done anything to set things up properly?

Not exactly a fair comparison...

I wish I had the space too Saltwater > lake Very few things better in life than casting past the breaking waves with the sun rising over the ocean. Well, until a big ass wave comes and soaks you.

Why ported, just curious? Nothing that says subs have to be part of the equation now either

Pfft, check out the prices for Lowthers Not too many $1k-plus 6.5's out there with a millimeter and a half of linear travel...

I have plans for speakers that use their $300 ones, I think they have a $500 midbass out there as well but it's not as good for semi-full range. Scanspeak rr's are $450 apiece IIRC.

Since you didn't mention a budget, I'm going to say Audio Technology C-Quenze's and SS ring radiators.
