How come you can buy dual 18" woofers that can take 2400w for only $1000??? I'd much rather do this than buy something designed to be small and nonefficient. I mean this thing has 100dB sensitivity... Ashley has that 4645 you know..

All you'd need to power it would be one of these that can supply 2400w at 4ohms bridged for $500!!!

For $1500, I think that's a pretty good deal for 135+dB of bass!!! Shake the foundation!!!!

You could also get a $100 Behringer Parametric EQ and bring out the 20s of hertz! Whee! |

I'm a bit tempted to ditch the Seismic 12... What would you guys recommend? I mean for the same price you can get two 18s and 2400w in a large enclosure over one 12 and 1200w in a small cube?? |

I'm just asking how it would sound for music? I know it would shake for HT. |

I think for that price you can get a really nice HT setup, probably wont shake your house like those 18's, are you looking for SQ, or just something to make your mom mad. |

Lol I don't play it loud when my mom's home (makes her bladder go crazy.. ). I'm more in the SQL region!
I was actually considering for the same price getting 4 Fi Q's and sticking them in the wall in a line array (IB setup) when/if we build a new house with a HT room. At "The Cult" they say that it would easily compete with the JBL's (not sure if they thought that out) . After all, my goal IS realistic bass at high levels.
Dude, it'll be a while anyway. I'll get a Seismic 12 first and if I don't like it I'll sell it. |

If I were to have a lot of money... I COULD just experiment...but NOOOO...
IFFFF I had a lot of money... I'd see what I could do in the way of maximum SPL in the smallest enclosure possible. You know...take 6 of those JBL 98dB sens. drivers, put them in the smallest cube possible and stack 4 Crown I-tech 8,000s (1 a voice coil) onto each driver, then let loose at the note where the drivers don't pass Xmax and have the best sensitivity...I'm aware that if it weren't a 3 second burp of sound it might (WILL) catch on fire.
If I were to seriously have the choice on what I would build to fill my room with the best bass possible <30hz I'd cover my walls with TRW's and ditch their amps, giving them each a Mark Levvy and pouring on the power to see if they blow up.
If it were from 100hz down I'd have to change it to LMS-5400s covering the wall, each voice coil given a Mark Levvy or something. What would an LMS-5400 + a 150w SET on each voice coil sound like? I realize that's $601,000 right there... I would expect that to sound great.. to have some weird thing about it that seems to be missing with everything else. 600w of roaring SET power! |
