SPL S3 Vs. Nightshade

[ShaneSauce 2]

That's honestly the first time I have lol'd reading anything on this forum.

About the grills adding 3db, wow idk why that was so funny.

You'll have to ask Probox as it is exactly what they told me a couple years ago.

The SPL mofo like series sub is not bad for the money. I have heard them and tested them before. However, they soon fall apart. But there has been hardly anything stronger in sound quality then my nightshades. The only sub stronger in sound quality were my critical mass subs. That is saying alot, especially comparing it to a $2000 sub!!!

I already know mine will sound better, he doesn't even think he is going to need to upgrade his (stock) speakers. Thanks though, I guess we will get the quality he paid for.

[Duran 387]

Well we compared our subs today, his 15"s are pretty hefty. He has almost no excursion capabilities due to his small spider, and I was very unimpressed with the built quality. As far as I'm concerned he bought a 15" paperweight.

What did he think about the nightshade?

[Duran 387]

He didn't say anything, he is still thinking he can conquer the world with his.

Ray, how come you never told me you got those Critical Mass UL 12s?... wait a minute. That stuff about the ProBox grilles is funny my stomach muscles hurt. If you guys actually do go at it on the mic or street beat... Kick his ass Sea Bass!!!

I hate ignorant people like that guy whoever he is. They are just dumb, and even if they beat you it is out of pure luck. Something that's always fun... If you have your setup built to dig deep and he has a probox or some other box tuned near 40... pull out a 25 hz tone and tell him to play it then see what happens

He might have strength in pure SPL, but beat him where you have the advantage.

[slim2fattycake 85]

It doesn't matter, people are not going to change their mind if they are ignorant like that. They will always think they have the best stuff.

[Duran 387]

I wouldn't call him "ignorant", just uneducated and stubborn. He just wants to beat me cause I took his girlfriend

on the SPL website, it says the sub has 0.57" of xmax. I know that these mostly suck balls, but I TRULY hope that is a typo.

I swear my SS 6.5" mids have a more excursion, it could get movin' though. But with a Qts. of 0.31 it should sound like complete ass

Xmax doesn't really mean squat on its own but SPL sucks either way.

Duran, please take videos of this kids face when you show him your nightshdes. Also, when are you going to be done with your build?

Well I ordered one of my two Deka Intimidators last night, so whenever I can order another one I'll be good, except for the box. I've been trying to get this box just perfect for over a month now and it is kicking my butt. I might just have BJ or Trevor built it for me.

True, but his driver is very misleading. The surround in it as wider, and also a high roll, but xmax is very limited by the spider. Another friend of mine was talking it up because it has a bigger surround than the 'shade.

So according to the people around here:

15's are louder than 12's

Large surrounds are louder than small

Wow I guess I don't stand a chance

Thats a classic. Rubber surrounds are louder than foam and bigger magnates mean more power.

Can't go wrong having one of those guys build you a box!

All of them will be wanting to know where you got your sub's and amp once they hear it.

Just a matter of time

Yeah a single 'shade in a small sealed box with 500 watts was insanely loud.

Edit : Since when can we determine the sound of a subwoofer by looking at a single parameter ?

[Duran 387]

I need to finish my front stage, my tweeter sails are still not done, damn cold weather. If it warms up somewhat I will finish the sails and assemble my back seat and finally mount my SAX-100.4. I got some glass matte and bodyfiller to finish up the last little bit.

The "friend" is getting a Power Acoustik BAMF5500D
