new company atmos audio

im pretty sure this is a SQ company ... i could be wrong

If they are geared towards SQ I find it funny that they would be showing off their 18. Not too many true SQ guys running a pair of 18's

I was going to say 140 is a good number at 25hz....sadly video looks to be @60hz.

These guys need to either do a better install/box and get some really impressive numbers or seriously re-think their marketing strategy. Won't say anything about the product since I haven't used them, but really who are they trying to impress? What's the MSRP on these 18's which are only capable of burping 140 with nearly 1KW (If you extrapolate this you'll get 143 at 2KW and 146 at 4KW, 149@8KW etc. and that's on paper not figuring in compression).

18's only need 3 cubes each

Yeah right.

there big 3k sub the exo

the strato the ones in the video

basket on the exo looks like the runa the mill 12 spoke custom sub basket everyone else uses, and the basket on the strato just looks sorry, more like a home speaker or dj? theres mids out there with more sturdy/ impressive ones

Who gives a shit if they did use the same basket everyone else uses. If it turns out to be a good driver and the 12 spoke basket keeps the cost down what is the downside? Its obviously a proven design.

yeah but for something that only requires 350rms you dont need a super strong basket

Calm down i wasnt bashing just stating a fact im a fan of the 12 spoked and yes they are very good baskets

yeah but for something that only requires 350rms you dont need a super strong basket

this is also true but in my opinion i think if your going 18" i see a high performance driver not something with a low rms like that but if it works it works i guess

Okay, I'll start here.

The 18" subwoofer in question is 350w rms. Now, with 350w rms, do you honestly think you need anything other than a stamped basket? Sure, the owner could use a 6 spoke like most of the other people out there, but the cost would increase significantly. The 18's are more or less designed for people who, well, want 18's. The Strato 18's as pictured/in the video have an FS of 26hz and the company was doing basic testing in a small box to see how they did - considering they were in 6^ft net, I dont think it was all that bad. Now, you want to see your "easily" 46's? Dont put them in 6^ft at 30hz, put them in a 9^ft box for the pair at 38hz like everyone else and you'll see those overly large gains like you want. Like I said, the video was posted to prove that the woofers will still get down in even the smallest of environments.

The company is, in fact, SQ oriented, like Mobeius said.

The Exo 15. Sureeee, it's a 12 spoke design. I can name a million other companies that use it. In fact, most companies use it somewhere in their lineup. Anyways, as stated somewhere up there, its to keep the cost down. As with any company, a custom basket could be tooled to make it "look" cooler and add minimal gains, but unless you(and the rest of the users) would like to pay 100-150 dollars more a woofer I just don't see the point in doing that? Custom tooling isn't cheap ha

There are more out there than people seem to think. Size of the subwoofer has nothing to do with sound quality.

Okay, I'll start here.

SQ based? Did they start with something besides subwoofers ? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If it's SQ oriented you should post an RTA plot from 90 down to 20hz. If your "testing" a 60hz tone only did 140 why even post the video. The point is unless it's a 50$ sub there's a lot better ways to get 140 @ 60hz.

Take videos of these things in their correct application performing well for that application. That video isn't helping.

So which one of you is affiliated with the company?

^^^ I'm with Ryan here. Seems fishy to me. Anyway, I guess I wouldn't mind trying one of those 18's off of 600rms to see what it does. It looks like they flex that van pretty easily. If the price is right, who knows??
