Powered Subwoofer Testing: Outline and Procedures Overview

[gene]

Subwoofers for First Round of Testing

• RBH SX12 (standard driver and amp, though an upgrade is offered for both)
• Outlaw LFM-1
• B&W ASW610
• Klipsch SW311
• SVS PB13U

This will NOT be a shootout. Each product gets its own generated test report but the results of all will be tabulated at a central point on the Audioholics website. Testing begins late August....

Nice. Very interested in the Outlaw and SVS results

Looks like a busy August for me. Its a good cross section of subwoofer types too. There is sealed, passive radiator, vented and also a known performer represented. I just hope the weather cools down a little. We have had a brutal heat wave in the Ohio valley. 95-100 everyday and high humidity with little wind at all. Heat index of 114 today. Might have to invest in a campers gazebo.

 

[its phillip]

That would probably be a smart investment

Which Outlaw sub are you testing? There are three LFM-1 subs. I would also be interested in knowing if you intend to test them with their normal orientation, driver and ports facing downward, or will the driver and ports be facing the mic. Hopefully you guys can do both, I would love to see the difference in the measurements.

Yeah, there's a compact, plus, and ex. I'm hoping he's testing the ex
