BL = 20.5 TxM

Vas = 97.62 Liter

Cms = 101 uM/N

Mms = 482.62 Grams

Fo = 22.8 Hz

Qms = 9

it may 'look' that way, but with 540oz of magnet weight.... its certainly one of, if not THE heaviest magnet structures ive come across..

Weight is most certainly not everything lol.

It could be made out of terrible quality ferrite that isn't charged correctly lol

i know....... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif & as i said ''Vibe'' are seen as pretty low brow over here, but that maybe changing.

never know our british subs may start to outshine tried & tested American brands...lol //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/up2something.gif.dd110ecf3ae4b76050d87598f2f8de7c.gif

yeah...... or your equivalents, Lanzar MAX / Vibe or Pyle //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wow.gif.23d729408e9177caa2a0ed6a2ba6588e.gif

we could sift through each country's poor offerings all day long, (well..... i'd be able to keep going as America produce far more crap subs than Britain do //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif)

but the point is, the above sub is high end & maybe we should give it a chance....it might just impress!!
