[QUOTE="T3mpest, post: 8354159, member: 560148"] They sound quite a bit different. The mega roll surround they normally use has no tightening effect that raises Q once teh woofer really gets moving. Technically it's distortion when that happens, but it exists on literally EVERY subwoofer that doesn't use the mega surround, which is 99.9999% of all subwoofers. It's also even order distortion that tends to be unnoticed, the main thing we hear is simply more top end bass when the surround tightens. Therefore, its a sound people are used to hearing, most people find the mega roll surround subs to sound very bottom heavy. Especially when they use ported boxes tuned low like most of us do. Unless your only real concern is 40hz and down or you really need to use a small box, it's better to get the SPL surrounds. It's going to sound more like a tradiational subwoofer, the mega rolls have a dry bottom heavy sound, some people say it sounds sloppy. I've never heard one, but most low distortion subs are an aquired taste [/QUOTE]
