Opinions on CV stroker in a home app

[canadiansteve 10+ year member]

Hey, as some here know I am a ht enthusist cause I can't drive. I use a dual audiomobile evo-r setup with 1400 wts going to the pair. I am now getting bored with the same old sound and was looking at the stroker 18 as a replacement. Wondering what you all would think of this. Is it a good or bad idea? Box sizes and tunning frequency would be much appreciated. I am willing to give up a sqaure 24" blueprint in my room to dedicated the sub if that helps.

Thanks I would really appreciate any feedback.

If youre wanting something big and loud for home theater setup I think you would be way better off with maybe a brahma, tumult, tempest, or the maelstrom. Those are a few that I think would do way better than a stroker @ home audio. I really dont think a stroker has a low enough bass extension to do very good @ HT. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

the stroker started off as a subwoofer for theaters...just to give you some reference, phoneman //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

but yes, the tumult would be another good choice.

I would like to know this also. I do agree that the low end might not be there as much (say 30 hz and down), but for general music listening purposes I would have to think it would fill in the low end nicely. The one MAJOR thing I am looking for is decent extension with excellent punchieness and clarity and control.

Let me know what you think. The adire lineup has been a focus of my attention of late so it could be a toss up.

i really have no idea...i imagine that it was fairly successful.

where are you planning on getting a stroker from, steve, if you are able to get one? they seem to be hard to find.

a tumult would probably do everything you could ask it to do tho, also.

I am still not sure that I would go with the stroker for home audio, not saying it wouldnt do good, It's just not the way I would go //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif but those stokers are awsome subs, Though they have more of an appealing for mainly being very loud.

Also if your going for a home audio setup then check out the plate amps in the DIY section of adireaudio.com . //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

A 18 cv stroker would blow away a tumult in spl but it prolly woudnt sound as good depending on the box. if you want loud and low go with the stroker.
