May 27, 201114 yr You guys do realize that these types of subs are nothing more than marketing ploys. They didn't make the sub for SPL comps or to get loud. It's simply to attract attention. As for the Jackhammer, that's a totally different animal. It actually performs okay for what it is. If it was 1/4 of what it costs, you would see them quite often.Same idea as any extreme concept car that'll never sell. How many Pontiac guys bought Trans-Am's and Firebirds when they saw the Banshee?(If anybody remembers that...I'm a Pontiac-head lol)MY first glimpse of that car was the Detroit auto show. I was 8 or 9 at the time. Then it was on a NightRider TV movie as a new K.I.T.T. When you look at the thing, a lot of people bought them. IIRC, 75% of the car was part of the 4th gen F-body, including the nose on the 'Birds and the swooping quarters. Of course I don't know how many actually saw the concept car.
May 27, 201114 yr good marketing ploy....LMAOCheck out our new sub..... it needs5 grand worth of amplification andcharging system upgrades to operatealong with a U Haul or Cargo Van tohold the enclosure......when all said and done you'll have a whopping 140 Db that sounds likecardboard boxes being crunched......That's how we, the enthusiasts think, but we are but 5% of total sales. The rest of their customers will see this huge woofer, and think, "Wow! I wonder what their other products are like?"
May 27, 201114 yr Totally agree with Tirefryr.Marketing is very important when you're on a competitive market.You need something to make you ...visible. You need people to talk about your brand, your products. A super big woofer can be a good idea, even if you don't sell one !BTW I have a friend who recently bought the super big Audiobahn sub with a super big (but not so powerful !!!) matching Audiobahn amp !!!He never installed them yet !!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sure he doesn't know how to do it !!!
May 27, 201114 yr Anyone kno the price? I want to get one and test it out for shots and giggles. But bot if its too much...

You're very lucky to have seen one in person...it was my favorite Hot Wheels car though!!!
May 27, 201114 yr In a world where the biggest wheel seems to always win, regardless of how practical it is, I'm sure this woofer will deliver. Like Tirefryr mentioned, it's all about marketing, and guess what this thread is doing? Yep, marketing that sub. It's being talked about, which means Cadence is being talked about, which means this thread will show up on a search engine somewhere, and the cycle will continue.So, how is that sub not working? Sure looks like it's delivering to me, lol, albeit in a way most of you aren't used to talking about. Even Clarion had a huge sub at one time, and it was installed on a boat. Who knows? Maybe some rapper with a 'burban on 30's will want a 32" sub??wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
May 28, 201114 yr 34" but yeah. Go Cadence?THIS^As long as we keep it clear that this subwoofer is not designed to break any spl world record and is not as good as it might look, then we are all happy campers.
May 28, 201114 yr Agreed. This is going to sound REALLY cheesy, but I named my son after them. Cadence Jace. So sue me... Wait... they might!! But seriously. They make some decent quality stuff. The 34" sub is more like the Marilyn Manson of bass drivers: 'Hey look at me!!' I got to thinking... This sub would fit in my hatch if the depth were more adequate. My hatch is 38w x 30d x 14h (14 with the hatch cover, give or take an inch or two without). Just FYI...

I remember watching it on TV when it came out.Holy shit I feel old now

It could be worse we could be talking about early firebird turbine concepts.
