If square subs didn't exist...

Silver Member Username: PhuktupbassheadPhoenix, Arizona United State... Post Number: 535 Registered: May-05 | I have a valid question: Hypathetically speaking, if the square subs didn't exist... which round subwoofer would take it's place (regarding it's widely known ability to produce spl). If it's not in the same rms range... it would not count. So, what I'm asking is this: in the same rms range and spl category, which round subwoofer would hold the title if the square subs never existed? I know, I know... this is not an sq question. This pertains to loudness,spl, and rms wattage! Thanks, guys. Keep in mind... please don't be biased on this one. If you think it's Stereo Intergrity - fine. If you think it's Power Acoustik - fine. I respect everyone's opinion... just want to see if it's agreed upon widely or not. (Everyone has to admit the L7 is king when it comes to loudness with that much power... it just doesn't seem to qualify in my book because it's square. Know what I mean?) |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Try Google Post Number: 7052 Registered: Aug-05 | L5 = DD 2500 L7 = RE SX Solo X = RE MT..... loose translation here guys, i am not taking this too seriously(no offense to you Sean  ) |

Silver Member Username: PhuktupbassheadPhoenix, Arizona United State... Post Number: 539 Registered: May-05 | But, Muddy! You see... that's the thing!!! Why is it so "not important" to make a direct translation? If people don't consider the square subs to be valid in comparison, then they should be overlooked all together. That being the case... I sure would like to know which round subs would take their place in spl ranking (#1) - except this time it would be a valid ranking AND they would obviously have MUCH better SQ!!! |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Try Google Post Number: 7060 Registered: Aug-05 | then...uhhh.... use those. lol all of the aforementioned subs have better SQ than the square subs.... i just picked subs i thought would be equal to or louder than the solo's in their RMS wattage... |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Try Google Post Number: 7062 Registered: Aug-05 | hahaha....i can see where you are coming from Charlie...b/c none of us Recommend TEH square subs! but if somebody had them and wanted to change out their subs for some circular ones around the same RMS wattage...what would you recommend???? |

Silver Member Username: Th3pwn3rChicago, Illinois U.S.A Post Number: 581 Registered: Jul-06 | I wonder how close of a battle it would be between the MT and a Solo X.How much do the MT's cost and what are the power ratings for them?The Solo X is great for comps because of how fast you can swap out the coil/cone,if need be. |

Silver Member Username: PhuktupbassheadPhoenix, Arizona United State... Post Number: 540 Registered: May-05 | I guess what I'm getting at is this: I had an L7... and it was pretty f,u,c,k,i,n,g loud... sq sucked... but out of all the other setups i've had... nothing bumps quite like it. Not the idmax, not the focal, not the type r's, not the old school rockford fosgate's, not the diamond audio, not the power acoustiks... nothing! Like I said, the sq sucked... so - I wanted to find out which subs would be the equivelant (bass wise and loudness) so I can get the bump I miss and the sq I want. Get it? Come on guys, help me out... I'm tired of buying subs that don't quite match up to my expectations. Thanks again, guys. Sean |

Silver Member Username: JohnfiacIL USA Post Number: 663 Registered: Mar-06 | Muddy, quick question about that whole solo x \ RE MT thing.... the MT does not have a cooling hole in the motor though so u cant run it all day at that power like you could the solo x so i dont know if it would match up to good, but maybe it does last i heard they didnt.... but i havtn checked up on RE in a while... Why not just go with a 15" round one in place of the 12" square? lol |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Try Google Post Number: 7175 Registered: Aug-05 | get a DD 3500 Sean....wangage! i see where you are coming from John, but Meade was running 4kw to his MTs daily...so maybe they can take it.....install??? who knows... |

Gold Member Username: B101USA Post Number: 3655 Registered: Sep-05 | square subs do have a cone area advantage, but a good round sub that is well engineered still will move alot of air. espically when u add power into the equation... more and more companies are gonna make square subs however, Hifonics just started a few new square sub lines... http://www.maxxsonics.com/hifonics/subs_main.html A circle sub will always have the better SQ.. |

Gold Member Username: Basshead86Try Google Post Number: 7236 Registered: Aug-05 | hahahahahahaha. for the money. it doesn't get much louder for the dollar than the square subs....but at what cost? reliability/durability/sq/reputation... lol |

Silver Member Username: PhuktupbassheadPhoenix, Arizona United State... Post Number: 543 Registered: May-05 | lol Well, the HD3 does sound nice... so does the dd3500... which one out of all the ones mentioned will still make me happy with only 900 watts? |
|
Gold Member Username: Basshead86Try Google Post Number: 7416 Registered: Aug-05 | the MAg would do nicely on 900wRMS...so would the Fi Q, or even the RL-p....but the latter wouldn't be as loud. also, the DD 2500 would do nicely. |

Bronze Member Username: Motomattic3Post Number: 34 Registered: Oct-06 | How about the MTX jack hammer,Hifonics XX-3215, both of these over power any kicker MTX jack hammer=130db, Hifonics XX-3215=135db aprox using the equation of sensitivity+10log(rms watts) |

Silver Member Username: JohammbassCork, Co.Cork Ireland Post Number: 369 Registered: May-06 | Yeah, from the yo stories, I met a guy (he said yo a lot) and he had this old Chevy Caprice with 6 10's in it, OMG, he loved the car ratteling, no Dynamat what so ever, hood install. If he'd had 2 more 10's he would absolutely put them in as well lol. He guess he thought that SPL means sh:t pressure level or something. |
