    ZOD Audio M.A.U.L

    Haha. Some amusing comments in here. TLS guy are you aware of how impulse response works and is displayed? This is a serious question. You are mistaken on a number of your other assumptions as well. As far as looks or practicality goes...These are a custom job for myself. Clearly the...

    Facing a subwoofer towards a wall?

    I wouldn't say that I swear by it, but I usually do place them this way in most cases. What it does help with is smoothing the bass in the crossover region and the upper bass range. >70Hz. Works more effectively with bigger cabinets. Typically helps fill in one or two dips related to reflections...

    RBH Sound SX-1212P/R Subwoofer Review

    Thanks for the compliments on the review guys. To be honest I was surprised at how powerful the SX-1212R was as well. At the end of the day in order to produce tons of deep bass requires a lot of air to be moved. The port obviously helps immensely but the drivers still require a lot of clean...

    JL Audio E-Sub e110 and e112 Subwoofers Review

    Thanks Erin. The JL's are nice subs. I'm a big sub kinda guy and I usually come away underwhelmed with the small sealed units but these have more balls than most.

    Subwoofer purchase question

    If you look at the CEA-2010 output for any of the DIY systems you cannot use enough amplifier to produce the upper bass output levels without also having a system that could be catastrophically damaged at any second by too much signal wither for too much duration or too much power in the deep...

    Funk Audio 18.0 Sealed Subwoofer Review

    I make the case for multiple Uber subs...;) I haven't used a single of anything in so many years now...Unless you are very lucky multiples still require some "help" in the form of room treatment or signal manipulation to combat the room.

    Funk Audio 18.0 Sealed Subwoofer Review

    Thanks for the remarks on the review Mark and everyone else. I try to keep it fair and interesting... Nathan said the weight was about 100lbs in an email. Using my "back scale" I gauged it at about 95lbs. It might even be slightly lighter. I had no problems carrying it myself. (150lbs and...

    Good site listing numerous subs tested

    Yep...That would be my online data dump... Testing and reviews will begin again soon right after I get back from a much needed vacation. One review is in the works currently and there will be some heavy hitters coming through this summer. Have a great Memorial day weekend everyone.

    DIY Sealed 15" or 18"??

    Mechanical power handling of drivers is very enclosure and frequency dependent. So while a small sealed box may prevent a dreaded clank with an input of 100volts a much larger bass reflex may only handle 50 volts. SI's recommendations for their woofers are based on large enclosures and or free...

    Funk Audio 18.2 Dual 18" Sealed Subwoofer Preview

    Good question Steve. So...Since the output os recorded as peak waveform values, in order to compare with the data sets in my sub reviews here, at Data-Bass, Illka's, or Avtalk you would subtract 3 dB. A very potent sub considering the total cabinet size especially.

    Power Sound Audio XV-15 Subwoofer Review

    Tom already replied with much of the information including difficulties with orientation and measuring in an outdoor environment. In room the close acoustic proximity of the boundaries equalizes this. Let me just add that I thought about firing the woofer at the mic which would have required...

    Jim, See my comment about the waterfall and group delay above. ;)

    Aperion Audio Bravus II 12D Subwoofer Review

    These will no longer be included in the AH reviews in an effort to conserve a little space. If there is an issue shown in the waterfall it will usually show up in the group delay chart or vice versa. Hence including just the GD from now on. The composite maximum and minimum cea2010 and sweep...

    Reviews and "dynamics"

    Dynamics are related to accurate tracking of the input signal amplitude and therefore to a large extent, output capabilities and freedom from compression. That being the case... Low volume pitch definition and spectral balance are rather different issues than dynamics. A larger more powerful...

    New RBH Sound SX-1212/R Subwoofer

    I swear I think Gene is laughing at me sometimes...His inner monologue probably goes something like this... "Here Josh, I have your next review. (Chuckling to himself) A $5,000, large, bulky, 150lbs+ subwoofer with meticulous craftsmanship and beautiful finish. Please take it apart carefully...

    Klipsch SW-311 Subwoofer Review

    ARC is one of the better built in auto-EQ systems that I have encountered thus far and I would agree with your assessment. If you already have EQing capabilities whether automatic in a reciever, or manual through an EQ unit with measurements, then ARC is not so important. However if you have...
