Mag d2 vs avalanche

[AzGrower 10+ year member]

He only made reference to the home theater subs they were trying to copy, regardless, the stereo integrity sub is not well built when compared to less expensive (and better quality) subs...stick with the Ascendant Audio 12.

I think you need to re-read the thread dude.

btw...most home stereo speakers make wonderful and awesome car audio speakers as well. Ever heard of Scan Speak, Peerless, Audax, Dayton, Canton, etc...??

Here is what someone posted on another forum I visit. This guy knows what he is talking about and is very picky about audio. He makes a lot of sense, and is not afraid to let his opinion be told...

"What's special about it, exactly, besides the price tag? They look like yet no Faraday ring noise-maker priced idiotically. Note that they don't even bother to list inductance, perhaps because the marketers behind this firm don't know what it is. Oddly for a sub in that price class, they also omit xmax and Vd, from which one could calculate xmax oneself. Perhaps those omissions are simply because their product would not withstand comparison to much cheaper stuff like the Dayton Titanic line...

Honestly I would like to know who this guy is so that Nick or any other person from SI could have a chat with him on this...I think he got some sand in his ******...

Then again, I must confess I view Stereo Integrity as clowns.

again...sand...******...

They lost any interest I might have ever had in their firm with that absurd speaker listed under "home theater", which is a rip-off of a decade-old design cobbled together by Zalytron to move some old Peerless (India) stock. In addition to not understanding the role of inductance (either in and of itself or in terms of modulation) they seem to not have a single person on their staff who can hear above 6kHz, judging by the performance of that widely-spaced four tweeter line. And if they can't hear the effects of 4"+ c-t-c tweeter spacing in an array, what makes anyone think they can hear what makes a woofer sound good or not?

Uhhhh....this part has nothing to do with the Mag...

I don't work in car audio, or audio at all. Not for a manufacturer, not for a shop, not for an installer, etc. Nor have I ever, unless you count getting a "sneak preview" of things from a few manufacturers - none since 1999 - and offering them my opinions. However, I have an abiding disgust for incompetence, and incompetence is demonstrated in spades by the design of that so-called line array.

Well...he hasnt been in the car audio scene since '99...thats a long time in audio. Then he goes back off on the line array or HT system that has nothing to do with the Mag.

I don't have any problem with expensive stuff, as long as there are compelling reasons for the higher price. In this woofer, Stereo Integrity does not offer a single reason to suspect that the spending the ~$350-$400 premium over a Peerless XLS, Dayton Titanic, or that very interesting looking (though to me it would be more interesting if they did 15" or larger versions...) Dayton Reference sub will be anything but flushing money down the drain.

The Mag is very comparable to those woofers. IMO it exceeds some of them listed without question.

By comparison, other premium-priced woofers (e.g. Adire Tumult/Brahma series, Aura, JBL W1xGTi series) do offer something that's clearly worth a premium, though to be honest I'd never use any of those superwoofers in a car. (I AM actively seeking either two W15GTi's or two Aura 1808/Seismic 8196's for my home audio system, which needs the long clean stroke more than a car does.)"

HAHAHA dude has no idea what he is talking about here when he references "other premium priced woofers" The mag is definatly on par with the old brahma, should/will be on par with the new one. Tumult too I bet. Sounds to mee like he has HT stuck up his ***. I dont feel that any of his post about the Mag is valid in any way. Or SI for that matter.

He reminds me of the guy that writes that high-excursion drivers inherently sound bad...and to always go with the lowest excursion possible //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

JLaine has already summed AzGrower up over on SoundIllusions.

We haven't listed inductance (Le) or Xmax on our web site yet. About 1% of our customers care about Le, and Xmax is around 24mm but we have not DUMAX'd a driver yet so we are waiting until that happens to publish a solid number on the web site.

As to us listing MSRP, that was covered over on SIN. To the rest of his post, I won't comment because, obviously, he knows a LOT more than I do. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crazy.gif.c13912c32de98515d3142759a824dae7.gif

As I can see, this forum keeps to the same childish immature banter. Guess you guys like living in the dark still. Go ahead and pay absurd amounts of $$ on a sub that is at par (and I am being generous) with the AA Avy...

Says the guy who bases his entire opinion of the sub off of one rather inaccurate "overview" of the subwoofer and the company //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Have either you or this anonymous poster used or heard said driver? Didn't think so.

But yet, we are the childish immature ones.... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
