The only real difference between the 7100's and the 7300's is that the 7300's have a larger vas. I know vas has to do with the suspension, but what's the difference between these subs? Which is better? |

Silver Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 565 Registered: Aug-04 | Yeah. I downloaded the tech file on the subs and the sw7100's have bigger magnets, and they do look different. I just wondered what exactly Vas was. |

Silver Member Username: A3formePost Number: 333 Registered: Sep-04 | So which one is really better? Or do they serve diff. purposes? |

Silver Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 566 Registered: Aug-04 | I think they serve diff. purposes. I'm just gonna take a leap and say that the 7100 has better spl, but who knows. I need Jon or Isaac or somebody to tell me what Vas is. |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 3230 Registered: May-04 | Vas is the equivalent suspension compliance of the subwoofer, meaning that if a sub has a Vas of 2 cu ft, then the suspension provides the amount of pressure that 2 cu ft of air would. It has more to do with choosing the right enclosure than it does the SPL of the sub. You'll need to know other factors as well, more magnet doesn't necessarily mean a better sub, huge magnets can tend to overdampen the driver if they are too strong for the sub they're powering, it can result in a boomy sound. |
