[QUOTE="Fishchris, post: 8746603, member: 683065"] I wish I could let you have a listen :) It really is the nicest sounding setup I've ever had.... And I'm an old guy (56yo) that has been playing with this stuff for 35 years. It's not the loudest setup around. Probably doesn't even hit 140 ? But Im sure its close. Also, I actually made it a little quieter, by knocking down the cabin gain, when I was tuning it with my DSP. Chose SQ over SPL there. Otherwise, Id have tuned it to 48hz, and be playing 48hz test tracks :) I bet that would be pretty obnoxious :) lol TBH, PR setups are REALLY easy to build and model :) If you can use WIN Isd, and know how to build a sealed box, that's basically it :) Certainly easier than regular ported boxes, and more forgiving, by allowing you to adjust the tuning after the build. My only "live and learn" advice, is to actually follow the common advice with PR's, and use twice the VD of your PR's, for your sub. In other words, I should have used two 18" PR's, vs. two 15"s. As it is, Im pushing them right to the limits of excursion, and I damaged the spiders on them, when I had it tuned to 29hz. Glued one and replaced the other. Now I'm tuned to 32 hz and I don't think their has been any more problems..... But then even when I did damage those, I couldn't tell by listening to it. Still sounded great. I only noticed it when I took them out to play with the tuning. Really the only cons with a PR setup is 1) they will cost you a couple DB's, and 2) the cost of the PR's themselves. [/QUOTE]
