Largest sub "Still in production"?

that is not a sq build. christ...

Posted to go with my previous post, didn't see your sq request.

[dohckiller808]

although that system you posted may seem "quick and accurate" imagine that system with the same power going to 10s equaling the same cone area. which one will appear more accurate?

i didnt really read the thread but from what i did gather, here watch this video

Vid is FTW, thats my buddies old car. LOL

here is a better vid in hd from my channel

You want distorted sound?!

Just clip amps and you can get it?

[woodzyspl]

just let the damm man buy a big fucking sub. he said several times he wants it for "show" so let him.

if buys it sound like rubish he come back to try diffrent things. sheesh

yeah sorry got off topic. i would love to see a huge ass sub in a dj set up just to rumble.

except thats slightly incorrect given that a larger cone needs less excursion to create the same output as a smaller cone.

ANYWAYS, tonality differences happen, its a fact. Frequency reproduction differences become an issue when attempting to hit certain SPL levels with certain drivers, less of a driver diaphragm swept area thing.

SO

Guy is looking for a giant sub, end of story.

Yes, I understand tones. 40 cycles is 40 cycles no matter what. But Nobody goes around banging out to tones. music is full of multiple tones and switches from tone to tone everywhere. A smaller sub will make this switch faster given the same power/motor. It's just basic physics. No way around it.

i know what green spade is talking about. everyone here will bash about it. when you listen to a 18 vs a 10 on the same motor, take away tones and sweeps, youll hear a huge difference especially when you start listening to double bass drums at higher volumes. on 18s the bass drums start to blend together and end up sounding like a rumble as where the 10 would hit each note. just one noticeable difference.

NO, they will sound as fast. The 18's won't distort, and blend 2 kicks as 1 longer kick.

It will hit both kicks as fast.

show me a 21" sq build.

geez. show me a 18" sq build.

There is no sq build with 18's or 21 inch subs, because they don't make 18inch subs. Why not? There is no need for the big displacement of a 18 inch sub, the only thing it would do is take up more space.

And with the big cone, it could add some reflections.

Greenspade,

All the subwoofer/woofers you have listened to sound different because they are all in a enclosure. The enclosure is what 90% of the sound makes.

All the subwoofers/woofers you have are in a enclosure and not tuned to have the same freqeuncy response. Because of that, the harmonics of the notes are different. There are fundamentals and overtones, while the fundamentals may be the same, the different enclosures produce different overtones.

The cone of a 18 inch vs 12inch cone will sound different, especcially if they are made from a different material or thicker then the other.

The 18 inch may have a thicker cone to make it as strong as the 12 inch cone.

Mixing different kinds of sizes to get a "SQ" sound, is the worst idea ever.

Less drivers is better in SQ, since they can interfere with eachother and cancel out frequencies and change the tonal balance.

Bull

Fucking

Shit

That is all.

+1..... my Xcon 18 is in a huge box, tuned real low for stuff like Decaf, but sometimes Ill jam out to some Mudvayne or Mushroomhead or something with really fast dbl bass drum and it loves it. doesnt "blend" together into a rumble at all. Maybe you just been hearing some cheap ass flea market 18s?
