REVIEW pierce audio WMD
|
Silver Member Username: Trey4sportsPost Number: 536 Registered: Sep-06 | first off: let me tell you the setup, 2 15" pierce audio WMD's in a 1998 range rover 8.8 cubes after displacement tuned to approx 37 hz. Massive audio P3000.1 on a stock electrical system. the gain is about half way whhich is well below the sensitivity level it should be at. when i reach volume 24/28 the amp goes into protection mode, im guessing it is getting about 1800 watts at THAT point bc my range rovers alt is fairly beefy for stock, and it uses A LOT of my battery up bc at volume 16/28 or so i start seeing big dimming. with that said, i have not heard any distortion from the sub, and i dont think ive seen full excursion either. it handles power well after all 1800 watts or so the dustcap is pretty hott i think the power handling is right on the money at 1000 watts. The SQ seems excellent i love my lows and this really drops down much lower than i expected. As for SPL, i am NOT a TL meter, i will repeat my self I AM NOT A TERMLAB. ok now that is cleared up the sub gets verry loud and that is subjective but i dont know exactly how to explain the SPL, at its peak of approx 1800 watts i was starting to have difficulty breathing it was far past a slight tickle, i would lay my kenwood remote on the console and it would not just slide but at higher volumes it would jump a bit. Pros: SQ is good, notes are very crisp, plays low, EXCELLENT SPL at mid frequencies. extremely inexpensive, AWESOME customer service, VERY solid all around driver. cons:power handling should not exceed 1000 RMS, bottom line: for a little less than $140 a piece i truly believe if you can find one for that price its the best price/performance sub on the market. i have listened to W6's W7's and kenwood excelons, in my experience with the three the W6's had better SQ , but the WMD got louder than all three others and hit the lows better than the W7 which i was suprised about. hypothetically speaking if all 4 subs were the same price and i couldnt tell which each one cost i would choose the WMD, the W6 is nice but really is not on par with the WMD on the lows, the excelons just didnt get loud especially on their full rms of about 600. And the W7 was an all around niice woofer but the WMD just sounds terrific. great subs for the money highly reccomend |
