Has anybody seen or heard these subs?

They're a bit pricey (way out of my budget), but they're pretty nice lookin'!

I guess they're out of Canada.

    The combination of wood choices is pretty impressive. You gotta wonder what the extension and spl is on these subs...

    Without hearing them I would guess you can do much better for the same money - but I dont know for sure

    Yea, I wish their specs were more detailed.

    Their ported box 12 (fw 12x) says "high output down to 18hz". That doesn't necessarilly mean it's flat to 18hz though, but it could be.

    Their 15" cylinder (fw 15.1) says "user adjustable tuning 14.5 or 17hz." I'd imagine that's where it would roll off, but for a couple grand it would be nice to see a graph ala SVS.:wink:

    Their 18's say "high output down to 10hz."

    They look to be pretty robust, straight forward designs. Cool, something else to check out!

    They sent an offering to AH for there upcoming "premium" sub shootout. From what I've read, they make great products. The model ranges from kits to customized subs featuring TC Sounds LMS drivers driven with serious pro power. Especially for Canadians, they are an option.

    Onkyo NR1007 pre-pro, Carver TFM 45(fronts), Carver TFM 35 (surrounds)

    I hope that "pro power" is not Behringer stuff! :eek::biggrin:

    Yep, saw that, too. Here's the list that they currently have being tested:

    HSU VTF-15H
    Rythmik FV15HP
    Funkywaves FW12.X SA1000 (looks like Funky will be posting some pics later this week).
    SVS PB12-Plus
    Salk SongSub
    RBH Sound SX-12

    Here's some FW 15.2 user specs from AVS.

    Here's some FW 18.0 user comments.

    Pricey, but interesting (and beautiful) nonetheless.
