It's been like this for decades. I was heavy into the mobile scene up until about 2005 (so awhile ago), but it's always been the same. Most of the time you're dealing with kids and brokeasses, so quality takes a backseat to low cost, what some rapper mentioned in a song, or a "free" install.

That pos sub dont even have a turbo booster. I doubt it can even pop a wheelie. Lol To be honest I dont care for the name...but Id just give em a new more fitting name, like Badass MFers . They look fantastic, great specs and unique look. Hats off to you guys, you could have easily copied others, use the same parts and buildhouse, slap a sticker on it, and sell it for the same price. You clearly put a lot of work and thought into these subs. Ive been leaning more SQL these days, but I might have to give them a try. They look like they can get low, but still have decent bandwidth judging by the specs. Im guessing they would make a great daily driver setup.

[@markroberts715]

Been following for yrs man,there's always got to be that one guy who's either salty or just likes to sit back and smile while starting shit

[@Acoustic_Theory]

The physical shaking of the woofer in free air (not an enclosure), sitting on a compliant surface like foam, comes from the motor imparting a force to the moving components of the speaker, and an equal-and-opposite reaction force being put into the structure of the speaker. The reason the frame and magnet don't shake even more is that they have a much larger mass, and F=ma so the visible movement comes from the "a" term, which is the acceleration from that reaction force "F", which is going to be much smaller if the mass "m" is larger.

[@SparkedEd]

Thanks for the explanation!

One thing I wish Apple never did was stop using the QuickTime format for recording videos. Instead of individual frames, it was like every frame was blended into the next for smooth recording. Look up iPhone inside a guitar for an example. Anyway, it's good to see someone producing something that isn't cookie cutter in appearance or performance, and innovation in the field is still alive and well.

[@Maximum_777]

Here's the problem, it's going to be the exact same kind of people that think every blurry video of some random thing in the sky is therefore an alien space craft, because they do not understand cameras, and are essentially 100% fooled, every single time, by the very most basic video artifacts and lens artifacts out there. From dealing with those people I know they aren't there to actually learn the truth, so since they simply do not care, they will continue to misunderstand everything, no matter how much you explain it, mostly because they're not going to watch this video. This means the best thing you can do to prevent dumb comments, is add in short slow motion clips, that are not just slowed down normal video, but actual slow motion video, filmed at a higher fps. The added fps means these artifacts will only be visible at higher frequencies, so especially for subs, it will show what is actually happening much more accurately, and you won't get these artifacts that are causing these dumb comments. The slow motion will actually show these people what's happening, so they don't even need to understand it. The issues here also aren't just software anti vibration or image stabilization, that may be part of it, I have no idea what you're filming with of course, but it's much more likely caused by some combination of the rolling shutter effect, and other frame per second vs vibrations per second correlations, that typically make spinning things appear to freeze or wildly distort on video, as their rotational speed goes in and out of phase with the frame rate. I don't know exactly what the effect is called for specifically linear vibrations being misrepresented, but it is simply an effect of fps first, and a software related image filtering problem 2nd. Short answer, these people are commenting on a whim and likely won't understand anyways, so they're not worth your time, slow motion video, even just low quality 240fps video from a phone, could fix the issue entirely while also being insightful to your normal audience as well.

[@Mauser1965]

Fascinating that some may not comprehend the elements that effect recording and playback of content. Perhaps we need to consider that they are not ready to comprehend sound processing has come a long ways since my first interest in car audio in late nineties, where a tone (white noise) is used with a real time analyzer to set a equalizer. No different than those who will learn eventually that one can bolt on items to a engine, but it won't make more horsepower or torque without changing the management system to make use of it. i.e. "engine building" I'm just an old guy with a wrench enjoying his music the best he can in a vehicle with the aerodynamics of a brick who put a little bit of decoupler and insulation as he learns from others.

[@doctersound9630]

I looked at these on your website, is there anyway they would be ordered without the logo on the Dustcap? They look menacing and cool stealth. (No hate, all love) - Also any reason you never went with a Rubber surround? (Other than being coloured?)

[@SparkedEd]

They will all have printing on them. Dust cap is aluminum so you can sand it off if you want. Rubber surrounds aren't really suitable for higher powered woofers. Foam offers greater linearity at high excursion with lower distortion.

[@needmoreboost6369]

I’ve always regarded suspension as the effect of a sealed enclosure, a smaller enclosure for tight suspension and higher power handling and a higher frequency and the opposite for larger ones and free to air on the extreme! but I’m just a mechanic! anyway, Looks can be deceiving for sure but from what I can see it’s 100% better than any of the subs I’ve owned! A high quality product! Just Looking at the coil and the spiders stitching alone looks bloody solid!

[@ryangoodall1527]

That looks like a very nice sub. Seems to be well built. Another point that you could have brought up would be the possible video problems with the Frames Per Second of your recording and the Cycles Per Second(Hertz) that the sub was playing.

[@SG-Cichlids]

So I just got on your website and looked at this sub. Mainly because the loudest two 12 setup I've ever owned was audiobahn 12's. They look good. Strong motors. The only thing keeping me from purchasing one is the sensitivity. Definitely not the sensitivity of a 90's sub. If it were 86 or higher I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

[@SparkedEd]

There is a 3 way balance, called Hofmann's Iron Law, with sensitivity, Fs, and enclosure volume. You can only have 2 be good at a time. Sensitivity does not actually inform on how loud a woofer might get or how much power it might use, just a low power transfer of energy through the cone. We chose a low Fs and small enclosure volume.

[@SG-Cichlids]

@SparkedEd can I ask why you chose the smaller box volume?

[@SparkedEd]

@SG-Cichlids So more can fit in big builds and few can fit in smaller cargo areas

[@CarAudioObsessions]

Ya these days efficiency has gone out the window because everyone only seems to care about having 8000 watts or some other big number. In the mid 90s my dad's car would make you deaf with ~500 watts on the subs and 300 on the doors.

[@CarAudioObsessions]

​@SparkedEd those are good choices. Subs requiring too big of a box stops alot of people who don't have the space to give up. I prefer small, sealed enclosures for the tightness and accuracy.

I never understood the videos of a driver playing on a bench. What’s the point of them? To show that a speaker moves when you play something through it? Seriously what’s the point? Also in such a flooded market what makes this driver special compared to other offerings? What innovations or proprietary technology does it have and in what way do those technologies actually provide an acoustic benefit and is that a benefit that can be measured? You keep claiming it’s a high end woofer but it’s a flooded market with tons of subwoofers built with the same parts. So why should someone buy your subwoofer over a different one? If your gonna start a company and create a product with claims you have to be ready to back them up with actual data
