[QUOTE="Methyl Mike, post: 8726658, member: 681735"] Speaking only from personal experience I do not believe skar is 100% honest with their subwoofer ratings and specs. My svr12 I bought from Amazon brand new in the box. I built a 1.75 slot ported enclosure exactly built to spec and also threw it in a sealed enclosure roughly 1.2~1.3 cu ft and also tinkered with putting blocks of mdf in the sealed box and plugging up the ported box anything and everything trying to get this thing to sound good (I am a bit of a snob when it comes to SQ but nonetheless.) I am powering with jx1000/1 from JL audio. This sub first of all is not accepting anything remotely close to 800 watts rms. I clamped it and in the sealed box mind you it begins to distort at anything north of about 300 watts. I can hear the distortion. You could probably throw more power at it and not burn up the voice coil but to me personally if a sub is advertised as handling 800 watts rms I expect to get that performance without massive distracting distortion. The svr12 is more like a 300 to 350watts rms sub. I assume this is why on skars website all the shills posting their phony reviews say GO PORTED! ITS A BEAST! IT SHAKES MY NEIGHBORS DISHES! I suppose their target market are teenagers who blast rap as loud as they can and can't tell the diff between something that sounds actually good vs crap. The sub is also very slow, it sounds OK on some rap that has rolling bass but anything with a best or any punch at all it sounds slow and shitty. Mind you even if the bass is slow enuf for the svr to keep up it only likes certain frequencies! Regardless of the enclosure! The sad part is it's not like the svr is skars entry sub it's not old and the one I have is not defective. It's the best skar can do. And that right there says a lot. Comparing skar to digital designs is an outrage. As near to Sonic blasphemy as I have ever seen. Just my opinion though. [/QUOTE]
