Nick Lemons does make my heart go pitter-patter though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/inlove.gif.6846f78f06b405429ef3a00129788a2a.gif

JimJ - put head to head, how would you compare the Q to the Mag with the same power, same box, same car, etc?

They both make noise, and they both hurt my big toe when you drop them on it.

Of course it does...Its more expensive!//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

Well The Q looks better than the 06 XXX...

Well The Q looks better than the 06 XXX...

But It doesnt sound as good as a Mag or an Aura!

Exactly.

Db I am telling you man, listen to them for a while then tell me what you think, they are not the same drivers by any means.

DB give us a Listening camparison in the same box and let us know how the both sound side by side, lows-kicks-highs-blending etc. thanks.

Guys, nowhere did I say they are the same driver.

I am actually trying to show that is defenitely not the case. Just trying to show the similarities, and the differences.

So far I gotta say I am much more impressed witht he Q, but its not a fair comparo since the Q is D 1.4 and the Mag is a true dual 2. If the small amount of power is making a difference, then I am defenitely happy with the outcome.

And dont worry guys, I will have a pretty good review up a little later on this topic.

Oh and just to say, I didnt measure the motors with a tape, so the size thing is purely my speculation. The mag back plate actually looks 1/16 bigger now that I look at it.

But thanks for clearing up the motor specs Nick.

DC resistance (Re) is not the impedance of the sub.

Why not try them in similar alignments instead of the exact same enclosure seeing how they are not identical drivers. Then and only then will I take anybody's opinion to be worth anything. Direct drops mean nothing to me.

 

[dB Dom 10+ year member]

Unfortunately, I already shipped off the mag, so I have no chance to try any more enclosures.

The specs are pretty close and both drivers call for a similar enclosure requirement, so why is a direct drop such a bad thing in this case??

like I said man the difference in loudness is definatly power as you are prob getting a .7 load on the 20.1 now.

I thought by now it'd be obvious that they are not the same woofer, and thus need different installs, but suit yourself.

It's a dual 2 ohm sub. The amp will see an average of a 1 ohm load. DC resistance is NOT the constant load the amp will see. My dual 2 ohm sub reads 1.4 at the leads with a DMM.
