It's all good man.....busting your chops, tis all!
oh, and rjbudz, dont get your pant(ie)s wet...just having fun with my man craig here. First, here are the correct original numbers:
PB12-isd:
18 Hz: 84.3 dB
20 Hz: 94.6 dB
Hsu STF-3:
18 Hz: 79.2 dB
20 Hz: 87.7 dB
So, show me a link were the Ed "corrected" those numbers for the one port block addition....I've read the thread the 20+ pages back and forth, and cannot find it, so perhaps you can show me.
Second, the Quick 20-sec mod in the amp (which is nothing more than adding a resistor in the circuit...I am well aware) will make it closer, but it's still on par. The Turbo model we are talking is where your "apples and oranges" comes into play....a $599 stock vs a $900 "turbo=ed" model??
do a search here and on AVS...I'm an avid supporter of both HSU and AVS (with me owning a SVS ultra), so I know both are great subs, and I know most HSU fans are very cool and down to earth.....you seem to be the Defensive kind, but hey, whatever rocks your boat......
Craig, chek your pm on AVS...I left you a question
