How Good is the New Starke Sound SW15P Home Theater Subwoofer? Sponsored by Anker! 

I have a pair out for delivery today! Can’t wait! 🎉

Nice review seems like Starke is really on their job. I have 4 of the older sealed 15s and I love them!

I love Ed your videos could you please do a training video on how to use REW on a MacBook?

Hi Jiles. is this raw measurement? the frequency response looks like a room curve is being applied.

For a large room thats 650 SF (6,300 cubic feet) and you were buying FOUR Starkes for a living room home theater setup with Dirac Bass Control would u go SEALED or PORTED?

Awesome review! How does this compare to the SW15? Drastic difference in terms of output? Sealed vs ported make a difference to articulation and speed? Want to see if the extra $ is worth it 😊

So if I have a budget of $1500 for a Home Theater subwoofer, should I do two of the SW15P, or a single amp from Hsu (VTF-15H) or Monolith? If the answer is two of the SW15P, how hard is it to set up a two-sub system? I’ve never done it, but my understanding is that my Denon X3800h can do it without a separate DSP, I just don’t know how to go about setting that up…

What is it compared to the sealed, believe I remember about 10db less at 20hq

How does this compare to your dual SQL 15's?

@jilesMcCoy Love your content, Love the Build videos and Comparison videos alike. I need to Add another Subwoofer to my System and for $1000 USD the Dual SW15's seem hard to beat in regards to output. For a $1000 (+/- 200$) what do you think the best subwoofer (Either buy or Build) is, in your opinion? I saw your Video on the Stereo Integrity build, Those seem pretty cool too.

How does this compare to the klipsch RP-1400sw or the RP-1600

Yep definitely wanna see a comparison against the SW15.

Only 100dB I guess that’s why it’s cheaper. When I built my ht subwoofer, my target was 120dB at 20Hz. I think that’s what’s needed for the movie theater type excitement and sound quality

Compression isn't a metric used by other subs so we can only wonder how it compares. Why not use the CEA standards? It's competitor is Hsu VTF-3- same price and per CEA and databass it's over 119db across the low bass freqs outdoors, imagine what it'd do in your basement.

Gerard Stroh!!! Hi Jiles McCoy**** I Re-Did My Subwoofer Speakers Setup!!! First I Had 2 Jamo C912 Subwoofers But They are 70 Watts & 200 Peak power and Then Last Month I Got 2 Polk Audio HTS 12 inch Subs and They are 200 Watts RMS and 400 Watts Peak Power and They Sounded Good But I want to Step it Up Bigtime So I Took My 21 inch Dayton Audo 2,000 Watt Vortex Subwoofer From My Garage and Hooked it Up to My High Powered QSC 2450a Poweramp and Bridged it to 2400 Watts and it Sounded Awesome and I Step up the Game I Have A Behringer 18 inch Subwoofer Cabinet and I went to Parts Express and Ordered the Dayton Audio 18 inch Ultramax 18 inch Subwoofer Speaker and Hooked it up to another QSC 2450a Poweramp and Bridge that amp Too so my 2 Big Subwoofers are Putting out 5,000 Watts of infransonic Bass!!! Not Dunn Yet Jiles McCoy I Have 2 DBX DriveRack Pa2 Speaker DSP Speaker Manament Processors and I Took The Second One and First I Made A 31 Band EQ Curved on the Stereo input Then I Fine Tune the Big Subs With an 8 band Parametric EQ on the First Left and Right Output and the Hz are 20 + 21 + 22 + 23 + 25 + 30 + 35 + 40 Hz and The other Stereo Outputs I Just Have The Same Main 31 Band and This Unit Has A 3 Way Crossover That You Can Program and This Unit Has Left & Right XLR Balance inputs and 3 Sets of XLR Balance Line Outputs and These Cost Me $1200 Dollars for Both and When I Did Parametric EQ Boost I use A Narrow Q Band and + 3 DB Boost and it Sounds Awesome and I Have Giantic Double Wide Coffin Size Subwoofers each one has an 18 inch Peavey Low Rider 800 Watt 18 inch Subwoofer Speaker Driver and the 18 in the other Box is A Peavey Low Max 18 Subwoofer Speaker is A 1200 Watt Subwoofer Speaker and The Box is 5 Feet Wide and 4 Feet High and 2 Feet Deep and These Speaker Boxes The Infransonic Bass Goes Down to 7Hz and I Have A Peavey GPS 1500 Watt Poweramp Made By Crest Audio and I Have 2 Blutooth Transmitter and Reciever and I am Going To Tap off of one of the Subwoofer Outputs and Just Have it on Low Valume and The Transmitter and Reciever Can Transmitt Over 100 Feet and I Just Have to Open The Small Garage Door Leading into the House!!!!

It is Awesome Jiles McCoy!!! Bye From Gerard Stroh!!!

How does it compare to the rsl speedwoofer 12s . Same price and same power 25 watt different not a big deal.

How does this compare to a SVS PB3000/4000?

Starke Sound should sell a Mini DSP bundle with the BOGO programmed for taking 1 LFE into 2 x outputs.
