Sanitarium Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 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. 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? it's all in the build. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pro-rabbit Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 I have used the clarion and audiobahn subs back in the day. Build several enclosures for a few different customers. They were ok, but more for a "wow factor" then anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RooTxBeeR Posted November 23, 2011 Report Share Posted November 23, 2011 This post got way out of hand haha. That Cadence sub looks like complete crap with that Metal looking cone. On the specs it doesn't even show a RMS power rating, just peak. Right there you can tell it sucks. to the OP, I read this whole topic, and subs do not give out a "distorted signal" the receivers do. And I don't remember who said it, but they said that the reason why when you listen to 18s vs 12s they sound different is because they are in different boxes. That is the truth right their.

dohckiller808 Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 I don't know how you guys figure the box thing. Take the box away and you got your testing specs. Don't you see the difference as the sub changes size on paper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
STEvil Posted November 24, 2011 Report Share Posted November 24, 2011 There's some vids on youtube of the clarion sub in a car iirc. Looks like it works half decent to me, unless it was the cadence sub.. it was one of the 30" plus ones though. MickyMcD - "Capable of making some serious trouser flapping volumes at where's-my-testicles frequencies, the Servo-Drives used to be fairly jaw dropping..." Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through. Hammerdown... 1% no links to outside websites, business related FB/YT pages allowed.
