Definitive Supercube III

[vpkb1998 10+ year member]

Picked up this sub from Best Buy tonight, was $699.00 but got a $100.00 off because the Magnolia's Mgr was a former co-worker. I had the Speakercraft Bass X-12 but the shitty amp went out.

Initially I was indecisive between the Klipsch RW-12 (12"), Martin Logan Dynamo, and the Boston Acoustic BX6. Finally after reading some reviews, I was set on the Dynamo. When I went to make my purchase, I was immediately told the ML unit is not a good choice because the unit was made to work with ML speakers and that sub timing is too fast and would be out of phase with my in-ceiling surround speakers. I was then recommended the Supercube. At first I was skeptical becaue of the size of the driver (7 1/2"), but I was intrigued by the power rating, 650 RMS!! Thats more than what I had in my Bass X-12 (250RMS :-().

To make the long story short, I got it all hooked up and was amazed by the output, very powerful and clean. Here's a comparison picture:

wow, you got ripped off bad hey... should have just made your own for like 200 bucks...

see the bit in bold in your post? that makes no sense whatsoever.

I'm guessing they made alot more profit off the unit they recommended you, and thats the one and only reason they told you that bs.

i bet you cannot make anything sound as good and loud in the same size package as the def tech

i own the 7001s which have 1-10" sub and 1500 watts and 2-10 radiators per tower and omg its loud *** hell but they dont get loud loud loud in teh 20 hertz range. ive heard all the lines from the 7000 to the 7006 and all their subs and all of them are impressive but the ones that really impress me for the price are the 7002- 1-12" sub and hte radiators and a bunch of mids and tweets and they get loud and sound very clean for about 1 grand each.

where can you get a 650 watt RMS plated amp for $200.00? i am also done with all this diy crap, some people have skills and some don't, i'm glad to admit that i don't

anyway, i'm extremely happy with this sub

...clearly it doesn't even need to be that small!!!!!

if it was bigger, it would be cheaper, and louder... so, why make it so small? lol

do i want these sitting in my house?

of course not! that's why i went with the in-wall speakers

you don't understand, we pay a price for compact and quality

if i wanted muddy, boomy and loudness, there were other choices

you could have gone with a 10 or 12inch, 200 - 400watt sub, in a ported enclosure, with a plate amp, had more SPL, just as good SQ, half the cost, and at the sacrifice for an enclosure thats 2 or 3 times the size, which, in your application clearly wouldn't have mattered.

some people are just born stupid. you are one of them.

oh, touche, sticks and stones may break my bones but your words made me wiser

no wonder you got banned, so much air space in your head, i'm surprised you haven't attemped to mount a 15inch sub for SPL

ok find me someone who would make a box for about whats left over after buying a 200 watt plate amp and sub and paint to give it roughly 15 coats (which is what def tech usually uses)

will you even have any money left over for a box? some stuff needs to be diy but thats mostly for car audio not home audio no one with a nice house wants some huge ugly thing in their room...

im guessing your single or at least no married or will ever be married.

btw so bigger means louder? so why not just make some holes in your wall and stick some 15"s in their and use another room as the enclosure then?

 

[Death By Bass 10+ year member]

lol, ah, clearly in this case, appearance doesn't matter... who's going to be looking at the little weird looking black box sitting in the corner? lol

thats actually a perfectly logical thing to do, if you have the woofers that suit the application.

I'm guessing you haven't seen the pics of the guy with like eight 18inch woofers, mounted freeair, so the back of them is OUTSIDE the house... covered up ofcourse, unless they are in use (and its not raining)

ive seen a couple actually lol but from what i heard from them its that those kind of setups dont beat (4-15"s 3600watts) an svs ultra 2 which is only 2-12s and 1000 watts by much. its more for the kind of guy who wants to say looky what i have, me i like the stealth look. i have my ht setup in my bedroom and people are always asking me where are the subs //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif they always think under the bed and i dont have jack their just in the towers //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

btw the way i look at it is you can only talk sh!t about someones setup if you have something that rivals their so put up with some pix, i never know i might like what i se //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
