CVX vs Solo X

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Solo X's.... Aren't going to be around much longer. And the CVX's are a Natural to TH's - the X's didn't like TH's..

The 4 CVX 15's met and exceeded the performance of the X's in every way as TH's vs our 'large low tune" recommended ported enclosure for the X's at max power with only 1kw per driver.

IOW these are a FAR more accessible driver - and system combination. The system requirements lead it to be something 'everyman' could aspire to.

Did you see that F/R? Un Equalized. 135dB from 4 1kw 15's is INSANE. And this enclosure had exceptional acoustic reactance.

There were literally DOZENS of old school car guy's who didn't think it could Possibly sound good - who came away Flabbergasted at how good it sounded.

We'll send you the Solo X models. CVX's are superior in every way outside of thermal power handling for TH's.

That - and we wanted to develop TH's around drivers relatively affordable so the average Joe could build TH's with phenomenal performance for less than the price of a 'bargain' sub-woofer...

That, and Solo X's are being discontinued. Don't share that information, please.

thoughts on this? may not be a big deal for some, i've owned 8 of the 18s on and off and 3 of the 12s and 6 of the 10s. Sad in a way.. but eh..

I was never a fan of my solox when i had one. I honestly thought my cvx was louder than my solox. Plus my solox heated up so damn bad and so fast that it burned out in 5 months. My cvx i gave 3 times their rms power EACH ad they lasted for a year and a half.

I was waiting for this to happen since the solox's model changed their rms and peak numbers so much. The solox18 was originally rated for 5000w rms/10000 peak but they changed that to 3500w rms i believe.

Yea 135 db being loud. I wonder what my 146.6 is classified as. lmao. I guess that goes along with how everybodys car system can get up to 160db with ease.

And the solox can take on thermal dissipation... bullshit!!
