I forgot all about those.. lol nice choice though


I would say tune it to 27.9 just so I don't have to agree with him fully //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

24hz actually makes it flat in winISD, 30hz has a god 2-3db bump from 30-50hz.

Yea, yea...so tune to 30.1hz please //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Naw, Ram man speaks da truth on this one...

All though most of the subs that have been mentioned I think you would be more then happy with depending on the box and the power your going to wind up using.

The Icon definitely looks good for $280, but that's not shipped. Never heard a bad word from anyone about an SSA sub. 1000rms and quality construction.

EDIT:Lol just saw that they are sold out. Sorry.

The IA Li's are nuts, call nick up and talk to him, robably cut you one for better than SSA price since no middleman mark-up is necessary.

Ok take this into consideration. Do you want a hollow bass sound or do you want a warm bass sound? Every AQ sub I have encountered is just like every DD sub I have heard. Hollow and just loud no real warmth or sound to it. Here is my question to you. Have you ever heard a IA product?

haha... "hollow"? WTF does that even mean?? If all you have to offer is some ambiguous, subjective opinion, then just state that opinion and be done with the thread.

The AQ subs are mid/High Fs and high Qts, no real transience to them. DD goes the other way and tries to keep Qts low and the Fs a mid/Low Fs but this causes a missing bandwidth in the 35-50 Hz range depending on tuning. PhishHead seems to be familiar with a warm flat response associated with Low Fs Mid Q subs (which used to be the goal of all builders till the SPL wars started) and when the DD/AQ would be side by side compared to something as warm and ear friendly as the Mach 5 IXL 15.2 or Diamond Audio Hex Pro 12, they are lacking in one range or another, I believe that may be what he is referring to as hollow (missing key freq's across a musically important bandwidth.) There are lines of DD that are more ear friendly and cause far less listening fatigue than the 9500 series, but I also have come to see that most compare the HDC3 to the 9500 for some reason.

The AQ subs are mid/High Fs and high Qts, no real transience to them.

So if he wants fair transient response (aka onset delay, aka high frequency extension), look for a driver with low enough inductance for it to not have much of an effect on frequency response below the low-pass frequency. Fs does not have an effect on onset.

But somebody else above made the best point... any differences of "hollow" or "marshmallowy" or whatever sophomoric/arbitrary qualitative terms people want to use are probably due to differences in optimal enclosures and/or insufficient setup for comparison testing
