Well - the Super Towers are awesome, but with those extra mids - they sound a bit bass shy!

So Stereo subs -- err, more so bass modules it is! I wanted something a little more compact - but I didnt like the compact subs on the market, I wanted something pretty much straight music - I could care less if it could do 190db at 20hz or whatever. I want fast, precise something easy to mate with the Super Towers and not take up my entire room.

So Ty is making me some subs -- 13x14x30 - 10" Seas Excel woofers and a 500 watt Dayton plate amp per speaker. I did not want to go with a seperate amp and crossover this time - to much wiring mess and BS around it.

W26FX-001.jpg

High power class AB output stage
Patented tracking downconverter power supply
Full parametric bass EQ
Phase reversal switch
Advanced soft clip circuitry
Toroidal power supply transformer
Auto On/Off
Power output: 273 watts RMS @ 8 ohms, 540 watts RMS @ 4 ohms
S/N ratio: 98 dB (A weighted)
Crossover: 30 - 200 Hz, 24 dB/octave
Dimensions: 11-15/16" W x 11-15/16" H x 5-1/4" D

Will be good down to 22hz -- front ported.

I am pretty excited -- I think the Super Towers and these subs will be in my posession for many many years. Big enough for pretty much any room I will be in and are designed around what I like. :)

    You should have let your current speakers break in first...

    Regardless, I use a pair of the aluminum 10" Seas woofers in my speakers. They move air really well and without a hint of boom.

    Well the Super Towers are only rated to 35hz -- but so are the 7u --

    So you take the same bass response and factor in two more drivers reproducing some midrange and you get a rather anemic sound in some songs...

    In more rock based stuff where the deepest thing is a kick drum -- it is ok...

    But anything with some symphonic stuff or anything of the sort - or even just a heavy bass beat - they lose sight and are no longer reproducing the music accurately.

    But I have logged in probally 100-120 hours on the Super Towers - leaving them on when I go to work and stuff... so I think they are close...

    Good to hear the 10" Seas are tight. Just what I am looking for!

    Awesome to hear Dan. Glad you like them them!
