Couple Questions on PR setups

[Blackout67]

Parts express buddy...see if they got what you need. The specs on the dayton stuff are legit and a 5 year warranty behind them

Yes they are priced about the same as the Earthquake PRs. I'll have to do some research to see how they stack up.

What would be the difference between the aluminum and paper cone ones? Seems to be the case that people don't care for the aluminum ones

It'll make the tuning lower

Here's the biggest difference between the Earthquake and dayton pr's. The daytons are marketed to primarily towards home theater and earthquake slaps are marketed to car audio.

Both will do the same job in either application with proper tuning (adding the right amount of weight).

Dayton makes a better built product and buying through parts express you have access to their tech support where they'll try to help get you where you wanna be. Plus dayton specs are on point and Earthquake won't answer those kinds of questions

That aluminum cone ultimately means less weight needed.

Yea I'm going for the one thats going to be the one I have to **** with the least which is why I initially was set on earthquake. They come with weights already have PDF manuals for downplay that shows you how much weight you'll have to add or remove to get a certain Fb at certain box volume.


Prolly gonna go with Dayton. I live in Cincinnati less than an hour away so I get free next day shipping whenever I buy from them plus that 3 year warranty is pretty enticing plus if they have shit RMA, I'll just take a road drip to their store

Long long ago (late 90s)...I worked for a guy who built pro stage sound and lighting. He built many many PR set ups and he would always say "just buy an extra sub of whatever you're running and remove the VC.

I tried it on a 1980 Malibu build that had 3 12s and a passive...I bought 4 12s and tore the VC from one. Sounded amazing. Since then I've never not done that.

The guy's home system was two cubes with 5 12s in each....one was a passive, so 4 powdered 12s. Each cube ran off a Crown 600w amp....and he had two more Crown 600s each pushing planars that ran from floor to ceiling. Crazy for a living room lol.
