Playing with Cosmos’ new horns – WOW

Talking about craziness in subs, as always I get side tracked when on the computer. I was at parts express and was looking at these o' TC subs. I watched the video on them and they look really big and really expensive . I still like my altec 18s

Man that 85 DB and 500-2000 watt peak is going to be great for my tube amp! lol

Agreed Widget and Progneta. I have Martin Logan 12" sub drivers that ML uses in their $140,000.00 TOTL system. They are in the corner cabs and are driven by BASH 300 plate amps.

I use JBL 15" drivers for midbass, so I consider 12" subwoofers a bit incapable of keeping up with high-efficiency main speaker system. You need something with more cone area like an 18" sub!

I do have 12" subwoofers, but they are more for entertainment than serious subwoofer duty!

I agree...Nothing like a good o' 18 incher firing away in a nice big tuned cab!

One of the benefits of separate subs is just that flexibility... I would keep them separate.


$140K my ass... you obviously need some proper JBL subs.

Yep, the JBL gods are going to rain crap on my head....won't be the first time.

I really do not find the 12" lacking at all, however, it is just filling in the bottom end of the 2225. I also run 2 more cheap-O subs in the back of the room to smooth the peaks and valleys. I run then at half the volume and it seems to work in my room. But yes, if someone was to offer me a pair of 2245s, I'd go for it. Before I do that, I should really find a job.

Novel idea that... Good luck with that.

Thanks Widget. I actually am a consultant, so I need to find clients vs. a job. Metro Detroit has been hit hard but is starting to come back. Cross my fingers.
