SQ on a Budget

IMO, the A-series is in a world of its own. the shivas just don't compete with it SQ wise. i would also expect the A-series to get louder, assuming it feels like home in your box. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Actually, the Shivas DO move more air by a bit. The only difference would be sealed vs. ported. The only thing is when you bring that into play, you also have to deal with delay on the ported box.

sure it does, but the A-series will almost push the same amount, yet has the ported box to aid it in SPL. thats why i expected the A to be louder than the shiva's group delay can be minimized by tuning the port low. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

EDIT: oh yea..must not forget that when you have over 450 watts to the shiva, you get power compression problems. the A-series would handle 1000 without getting into trouble.

Yeah, and the Shiva wont really get much louder after that.
