Rate Adire's subs from best to worst

Well that's impossible, as the Koda (so far) has only been availble in 8" and 10" versions, while the Shiva has only been available in the 12.
The Koda 10 was a better 'SQ' sub than the Shiva by a considerable amount imho. But the Shiva's are very nice no doubt.

You forgot 6.5" //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

No one has actually heard the new subs ... This is what supa_c was saying ...

More like implode your ear drums.

Man, my DUBurban was so loud with just 2 15 Brahmas.

I want it back

So the new line will be more expensive than they have been in the past? I thought I read somewhere that the brahma was for sure coming down in price.

Yes.

I thought the Shivas were now going to be available in 10 inch version, and the kodas in 12? Like I said I asked about their new subs.

So you were asking for a fair comparison of the SQ between two subs that have not been released yet? In that case, I think you already know the answer yourself. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif

This is straight from Dan, giving a basic overview of the new line.

Here's some basic info. More will be following shortly (no, I won't specify an exact date):

Complete product lines:

Shiva. Two inch diameter voice coil, overhung design, 14.2mm one way Xmax. 10", 12", 15" sizes, dual 8s and dual 4s available. Basic entry level SQL sub, low cost, easy to use, good performer.

Tempest. 2.5 inch diameter voice coil, overhung design, 18.5mm one way Xmax. 10", 12", 15" sizes, dual 8s, dual 4s and dual 2s available. All around banger. Will play deep, good SQ, get loud, budget SQL weighted to more SPL than SQ.

Maelstrom. Three inch diameter voice coil, overhung design, 24mm one way Xmax. 12", 15", 18" sizes, dual 4s and dual 2s available. Monster big driver. Handle lots of power. Real SPL monster, high BL (29 N/A), high stroke, still retain some decent SQ.

Koda. Two inch diameter voice coil, XBL2 motor, 18.5mm one way Xmax. 10", 12", 15" sizes, dual 8s and dual 4s. Basic entry level SQL sub, low cost, easy to use, better SQ than the overhungs with output around the Tempests. Like the current Koda 10s.

Brahma. 2.5" diameter voice coil, XBL2 motor, 28mm one way Xmax. 10", 12", 15" sizes, dual 4s and dual 2s. midline SQL sub, competitive price, similar to the current Brahmas in SQ and SPL.

Tumult. Three inch diameter voice coil, XBL2 motor, 33mm one way Xmax. 12", 15", 18" sizes, dual 4s and dual 2s. Top of the line in output, great SQ. Like the current Tumults, just more options.

That's the starting lineup. And I'll post more details when it's appropriate, so no begging.

thanks for the info on the koda's, makes me want brahma's though too bad they won't fit.

Looking forward to those 10's! is 1.5 inches enough space between the sub and the bottom of my truck in a downfiring box?
