Decisions... Hsu STF-2 or SVS PB10-ISD?

[j_garcia]

.....mercy, with people homeless and hungry probably within one mile....I firmly believe there will come a day of reckoning.....

LMAO. Yeah, but it's the movie stars, sports icons, and music artists that will be the first to go... All that bling don't mean a thing

.....laugh on, bud....back to subs now.....

 

[Buckeyefan 1]

Hey, I got you started on those 35,000.00 Krells. LOL

EDIT::: At 420 pounds for one subwoofer...??? Hum, where am I going to put that......
Oh, BTW I'll take 6 of those, please bring in the forklift....

I wonder how much this guy has in his sub?

 

[mulester7]

.....Buck, I'm confused....how does an orange 747 jet engine with jumper cables fit into a sub thread?......

 

[jaxvon]

That would be a giant homemade sub Mule. I think it'd give your B4s a run for thier money, at least in sheer output.

.....no doubt, Jaxvon, no doubt.....here we all are on Friday night with no date.....

Hah! Well, some of us gave up the dating thing when we done got hitched.

But hey Mulie, we still have our beloved subs! I, for one made sure mine would be tall enough to dance with...

You, on the other hand, went with something you could be buried in Of course, God willing that day is far, far away, amigo...

.....well, I would hope so too, Matty, my kids seem to need my paychecks.....

.....and correct, we love our subs....I plan to augment mine with some top edge to them....as much as I feel the Cadence X-Sub is a quality product, I am looking at sealed car boxes with a 10 in each of two....I called a place late this afternoon and was encouraged to come in tomorrow and hear some combinations....it's time to do some serious listening and move in on what I'm after.....

 

[mkossler]

Mulie,

Hey pal, I hope your cannons turn out to be everything you hoped for. It will be interestig to see if you can actually achieve the sensation of impact (oof! A shot to the chest) in the slightly higher frequency ranges, without disrupting or muddying the timbre/clarity/blending across the entire range.

Cheers,

Matty K

.....I hope so too, Matty....it should work out fine....the big boxes will be in a supporting role to the small cannons.....

...Those stands are great. I got them from Parts Express. ...

Thanks for the info. They look do-able, but unfortunately, they are only 24" tall. I need 30". Tried searching the web for other Dayton Audio/Dayton Speaker stands, hoping they have other sizes, but can't find any.

That's the worlds largest sub. Haven't you seen that thread? It's on Audioholics somewhere in the history of time. I bet that thing sounds absolutely wonderful. Imagine the 50Hz thump.

Mule,
Be prepared to have your socks blown off. It's probaby not a fair comparison to listen to dual sealed 10" subs compared to two ported enclosures. I have dual 10" sealed downfiring subs in my truck (each in their own enclosure), running off a massive class D amp, and controlled with a parametric eq in my Pioneer head unit. It literally blows away just about everything I've ever heard in any type of home system, barr a rock or jazz concert.

Make sure to audition this unit in an open area at least the size of your room, and running off a home or pa type amp. It will make all the difference in the world.

 

[Josuah]

I thought this is the biggest subwoofer in the world.

 

[jaxvon]

I think that's the biggest subwoofer driver in the world. However, I think you're right about that massive horn arrangement being the biggest subwoofer, if you count the enclosure and all.

 

[Buckeyefan 1]

I thought this is the biggest subwoofer in the world.

I've seen that thread many times, and each time I'm more and more amazed. I love the bent wood acoustic panels in the listening room. For the money that guy has in that setup, he could have just hired a band.

.....Buck, I checked at the Cadence site, and there are 5 dealers within a short driving distance that carry the Cadence X-Sub....I want to hear one....maybe they have one set up for demo purposes, and maybe they don't and can only order one, I don't know....if two would serve my need, there would be no other equipment to be sought....if I go the sealed car boxes with 10's route, I would have to have another eq and at least one more stereo amp....I plan to get serious with this endeavor come Monday....Buck, can you feel my confusion and intense pain as I stand butt-deep in this dilemma?....I mean, where's the love, Buck?.....

.....well, I'm gonna' step out on a limb here and say I had a sneaking suspicion, haha.....

Yes but if you read it,

That's the worlds largest sub...

I think the world’s largest working sub is in Alaska. It is used to measure the speed of sound in water, i.e. how long does it take for sound to travel thru the ocean(s) halfway around the world. It’s pissing off the ‘save-the-whales” crowd, who claim it interferes with the whale’s natural communications…which they claim can hear for hundreds or thousands of miles underwater.

A similar technology was used to locate the caves in Afghanistan and Iraq that the bad guys were hiding in.

And last but not least, perhaps the biggest physical subwoofer ever on this planet is sitting above ground in Egypt…the Giza pyramid. Just a few years ago a brainiac (highly educated, multiple disciplines) in England was flipping thru an old issue of Nat’l Geographic and whipped right past an illustration of a cut-away of the great pyramid. He said it just popped into his head, it’s a sonic generator. He made a list of stuff that would be necessary if it were a sonic generator. The Egyptian gov’t allowed him and a bunch of people from M.I.T., Cambridge, and some other Universities to conduct some studies inside the pyramid. Every item from the list is there, and in place.

Some folks form the audio dept at one of the Uni’s in England took some sound equipment into the kings burial room and pulsed something around 17hz in there. The chamber resonated, and resonated, and resonated … going with a nominal depreciation of sound. Why 17hz? … they estimate the pyramid was built about 5k years ago. One of the geology depts estimated 17hz as the earth’s natural resonant value about 5k years ago.

No one from any of the Uni’s will speculate on when it was built, who built it, how they built it, or even why they built it. All we know is that it has absolutely nothing to do with any kind of burial. It was intentionally built as a sonic generator (complete with a tuning apparatus in the ceiling), granite walls to contain the tremendous explosions that occurred inside (the energy to stimulate the generator), and the Egyptian gov’t suddenly disallowed any further study of the pyramid … what attracts more tourist dollars sitting out in the desert? … King Tut or the world’s biggest subwoofer.
