Any sub with that type of surround is a winner in my book. I hate those toilet seat surrounds that take away so much effective cone area. They're definitely some beauties.

@BARBELLS-AND-BUDS 5 ай бұрын

Yeah, I had plans to eventually build a set of subs from scratch and try and get some sundown cones basically because of the surround.

Amazon had the 15 inch version for $127 each during black Friday sales. Got 2 of them, so i got an insanely loud sound system, and they hit all the notes pretty good. And its on low power maybe 1500 watts divided between 2, but i hardly get any voltage drop with stock alternator. Much better than when a had a single hdx3 15 😊

Those surrounds are called tall roll . The concern id have is the motor of 120oz ... Compare to a skar ddx12 same price but 202oz motor ,2.5 coil ,8 inch spiders and the motor has drilled holes for coil cooling .

In comparison to the Audio Legion Gladiators, how well do these Black Diamond subs stack up?

@HiFiVector 5 ай бұрын

As you know I loved the gladiators. And they are both good just different. The gladiators were very tight and slappy bass…. A little drier. The BD are smoother and warmer sounding with more excursion and they hit the lows a little better. Both are great just different. Both are very good sounding musically and both handle over rated power.

@christianparsons7495 5 ай бұрын

how would you compare these to the American Bass XR12?

@HiFiVector 5 ай бұрын

That’s a rough one they are both awesome subs. I think the XR aren’t as musical accurate as far as transient response goes. These sound a little more accurate with fast busy bass but to me they sound pretty similar. The XR are proven to be a solid well built sub. Time will tell how much abuse the BD can take . But both great but for $129 right now in Amazon you can’t beat these.

You can’t say what brand really because every model sub is different. Subs from the same company can all sound completely different.

I’m not sure if a $250 sub is “budget” necessarily. But definitely a lower end price range. Budget makes me think about Jensen subs at Walmart in 1995.

What about your enclosure makes them SQL? I hate how I can’t get my SI SQL 12” to be loud in a sealed box (tried multiple volumes) and I tried a 2 ft3 ported box and it’s just too boomy for me.

Currently pushing the SQL 12 in a 1ft3 sealed on 2200 clean watts.

@HiFiVector 5 ай бұрын

A lot of it depends on the sub specs itself as far as building a box. Then you decide the best port area, tuning and volume for either sq or SPL. But a lot of this is personal preference.
