What you will notice is the that the B/L ratio of 8" woofers (of the same pedigree) is usually much higher. This gives the impression that 8" woofers are "faster" than their 12" brethern.
A pair of 8" woofer is usually more sensitive than a single 12".
lastly one can use 2 8" woofers in push-pull, Isobarik, D'appolito, etc..(this does NOT apply to car audio). Try doing the same with a single 12" :-) |
Thank you, Navin-ji, you awakened something I had given up on 20 years back. Yes, I used to dabble with speaker boxes, till software took over my life - I am right now limping back to normalcy!!!
Sorry for posting so late, I was in Germany for the last 10 days. Got an evening to do a scan at Media Markt, Hannover - the crazy Electronics supermarket chain that one can find in any German city. Had a serious listening session with most drivers and HUs we talk about on T-BHP, and then some. Confused myself out of buying anything - prices sounded similar to Indian prices with B&W. But, made up my mind about putting either JBLs or Infinity's in my Safari (the 130mm JBLs sounded ein bischen louder than Infinitys in my test - Blau London HU, Blau amp, an aisle full of more than 50 different driver sets and SWs).
Haven't licked my sub problem yet - still mentally shuttling between putting a 10" below the passenger seat and putting 2 10" in a triangular x-section box in the boot going the width of the compartment.
Questions:
1. Can anyone tell me who sells (with B&W) Image Dynamics subs in Bangalore?
2. Are there any passive subs (without magnet and coil; not the ready-made boxes) out there?
