I just listened to all the subs at guitar center side by side and this one blew them all out of the water in spl, even compared to ones 3x the price.. I don’t care if the amps shits itself in the next 3 years cuz I got the pro coverage, I’ll just either swap it after jacking the speaker for a blown one or block off the plate an run a rack amp on it

I should say these were originally paired with a set of eon 612’s. I later upgraded the eons to a set of prx835 and felt no need to upgrade from these subs.

Wonder if you would mind doing a comparison against JBL EON18S? I have both and the Harbingers destroy them. I am having a very hard time with this and would like a second opinion. I know the VARi is rated for a higher peak output, but I would think the JBL's would at least be able to keep up to some extent.

@davidzimbrick3337
@davidzimbrick3337 2 года назад
Those are Polk audio stereo dimensional array speakers popular in the'80s through early 90s. Those are four six and a half inch woofers couple to a large passive radiator. Interesting design with one woofer in each cabinet being wired out of phase to minimize crosstalk and create a wider Sound Stage. They were considered somewhat radical at the time but a nice sounding speaker nonetheless

Does anyone notice that the notes around 50-40 HZ are not hitting loudly on this sub?
@slapopimp
@slapopimp 2 года назад
I know this is an old comment, but did you ever sort out the issue? Would seem that you'd have the issue on multiple sound systems. I'm certain your track would be played on other devices like headphones and mobile devices as well? Certain sounds don't reproduce reliably. I've had kick drums for example that sound great when facing the speakers, but sounds completely different listening on an off axis.

You can't judge an amp based on how it looks ... as long as it's properly sealed from the outside it won't make any difference not being closed on the inside, apart from extra convection cooling from air movement . The alto probably used an enclosed amp module so you can't see the shitty components they used 🤣
