wow, nice score.

is the note in the video way below your tuning frequency? it looks like overexcursion to me. if not, that's awesome //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

and for all who don't know that sub is normally found here:

http://www.low-hz.com/commerce/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=21_33&products_id=45

but it's a snoopdan special found here:

since its low-hz, shouldnt it be like 30's and lower or somethin

Yes that note in the song is way below tuning, its like 20 or so and not somehting that your subs normally play... the song was to demonstrate its excursion capabalities visually, and I think it acheived it just fine. At no time was the sub bottoming out in the video....but I was pushing it right to the edge, just like a good test should //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

if you would like to try this song out on your subwoofer to see how it stacks up against the Massive CW 12, just click this to download "Bass, I love you" from Basstronics - http://video.snoopdan.com/bassiloveyou.mp3

cool, i like the excursion. good to know it wasn't bottoming out!

thanks for the link as well.

i was also wondering what the setup was for the 145 you hit. that's pretty impressive for a single 12" but i doubt it was with 600W and i KNOW it wasn't at 20 Hz //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/naughty.gif.94359f346c0f1259df8038d60b41863e.gif

heh, no...it was actually shown in the video what it was powered with and at what fequency, it was 43 hz running off of a MTX 1501d //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif So the sub was getting right at its rated power, maybe a hair more. I didnt want to put a 4kw amp on it to do the test since the enclosure I used wasnt a real SPL box. I figured my tests on a "daily" box would prove more usefull information to people interested in this sub.

jeepintn, you bought four? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif you're in for a ride //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

There is only 1 for sale there. So you could have saved a little on one, but you got 4 brand new ones instead. So you can't be dissapointed. But atleast now you know they will get very loud.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/veryhappy.gif.fec4fed33b4a1279cf10bdd45a039dae.gif

was that shown at the beginning of the vid? i thought the 43Hz was the tuning frequency of the box (seemed a bit high for daily use).

that's a nice score for that amount of power!

ah, i didn't realize you actually get the sub that snoopdan tested //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

that's a great idea for a sale! (as long as snoopdan doesn't beat on them too much //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif)

 

[jeepintn 10+ year member]

well awesome!! yes, i did get four, that will be in a "wall-box" getting about 2.85 cubes each after all displacements tuned to 35hz... should be starting that project tomorrow //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

145.8db!!! with one 12"!!!!!

Yeah, I was really happy to hear that score. Especially since how it was setup.

Not a bad budget sub at all.

And Jeepinit, I can't wait to see what you throw together. 4 of those, should really POUND!

I usually have my daily box at 51 hz, so this was lower than daily for me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif But yets tuned to 43 hz and peaked at 43-44 hz when it was burped
