New Studio Sub 18

[Jonas_h]

From the install version:

25 Hz - 200 Hz: 96 dB-SPL, 1W (2.83V) @ 1m

25 Hz - 200 Hz: 96 dB-SPL, 1W (2.83V) @ 1m Pretty amazing specs if that is true!

since the 2269H also are used in smaller cinema boxes with lower tuning (-10db@18hz)

Which one is that ?

Great,is it active?

Which sub are you asking about?

Neither SUB18 or the Cinema-version are active. They're both passive.

Sub 18 in the middle looks tiny compared to a pair of MD7 (which also use a pair of 2269)

Wow! I just ordered two sub18's and my girlfriend was a little worried about the size. If I show her this picture, I'm sure she will stop worrying

Of course,new Sub 18,thank you
It is hard and expensive to find a power AMP to serve it

Has anybody on here heard this sub or has bought this sub? There really isn't a whole lot of information out there or that many reviews. I'm surprised we haven't heard more about it.

I have two - I upgraded from S1S-EX's. Haven't done so much listening yet, but so far they live up to the S1S-EX. It's difficult to explain the differences, but they somehow have more "weight" to the bass. Not weight as in low frequencies but in the overall frequency range. They are still fast and articulate (hate to use the word "fast" to describe subs, but it's the best way to explain it).

Wow, that's impressive looking to say the least. They tout about the subs accuracy and ability to play sustained high SPL's. The one spec that leaves me wondering is extension. At 20hz it's 10 db down, at 23hz, it's 6 db down. I'm sure the in room response is a bit lower. I know you haven't done much listening yet, but have you noticed a lack of subsonic frequencies at all?

Nice setup!

My last subs where with the 2242H driver, so I am used to having subs which does not extend to 8hz as other insane DIY subs. The Sub18 sure don't lack LF compared to S1S-EX, so I am satisfied. I have not tested with high spl yet - max 20db from ref level.

Those M2 Monitors looks tiny

Yeah some of those DIY subs are outrageous. Some JTR offerings are crazy as well, extending well below 20hz. As long as the SUB18 can make it to about 16hz without significantly dropping off (lowest note on a pipe organ, typically). I'm curious on your thoughts once you get a chance to stretch their legs.

Again, incredible looking set up!

What are the port dimensions and/or tuning?
