Rythmik 12-inch -- 4217 cu. in., approx. 80 lbs. shipping weight
SBS SB-2000 -- 3193 cu. in., approx. 40 lbs. shipping weight
Obviously, with the Rythmik having about 33 percent more box size (based on external measurements),that would explain some of the difference. What about the rest of the difference?
Rythmik says they use class A/B amps, while SVS uses class D amps (I think). Does this explain the rest of the difference? Does the Rythmik servo technology have features that add to the weight?
Thanks!
I don't know much about the SVS, but have you ever seen the internals on a Rythmik?
He uses large transformers on the P/S, and the drivers that I have seen were all cast baskets too. Not sure if ALL of his drivers are cast or not.
I have owned an F15HP for quite a few years and it is a freaking beast of a sub. My bro-in-law owns the FV15HP and it is an even bigger beast.
For us, Rythmik is a local company, I met Bryan when I bought my sub at his small shop here in town. That is just icing on the cake for me, keep the $ local, and if I ever have any problems (I haven't had any problems),then I can just get help right across town.
For what it is worth, he has degrees in both Electrical Engineering and Acoustical Engineering out of USC.
I highly doubt this is for the F12, this is likely his ~600W amp or so:
