JBL CS1204B - something wrong abt the specs - Team-BHP

wannabelean · 22nd August 2006, 19:19

or am I missing something? The specs at fxaudio say PMPO is 500w but the print on sub clearly says 1000w. If it is 1000w, what is the RMS?

iraghava · 22nd August 2006, 19:31

RMS - 125 w as is clearly stated in the picture.

Edit: On more research I found that the Bass Tube has the same Rms & PMPO outputs whereas the print on both is 1000 W. Whereas the GTO 1204BR is 300w Rms & 1200w PMPO. I guess we'll have to wait for Sam to clear this up, might just be a typo.

the above sub box has a 250 watts rms power handling

sam bhai will tell the difference thou.....

though its a CS series product, the sub is a GTO series. Sam had made a post abt this in a thread.

Sam Kapasi · 22nd August 2006, 21:13

The rms is 250 and The peak is 1000W. This is a GT4-12 Subwoofer, mounted and badged as a CS enclosure.

You have just found a serious typo in the fxaudio website. Well done and thank you.

navin · 22nd August 2006, 21:51

BTW these ratings are thermal. also i figured it might be a particlar install. often a woofer that can handle 200W in a sealed box might only be able to handle 100W in a bass reflex box becuase bass reflex does not protect the woofer from over excursion like sealed boxes do.

low_bass_makker · 22nd August 2006, 22:35

navin ji the above box is a sealed one........

elf · 23rd August 2006, 01:27

Wokay, the typo's been fixed. Go forth & seek more, fellow BHPians...

I thought it was ported. :(( Hope I can get some seller to exchange my box for one of those or teh new ported one.

and Sam, the spec section cant be read unless one selects it

elf · 23rd August 2006, 11:20

navin · 23rd August 2006, 12:40

No, it's a part of Sam's research paper to see whether people actually visit websites and read small numbers. He didn't let you in on that one.

The subwoofer says '1000W' because the dust cap on which it is printed is capable of handling 1000W.

If you're taking me even remotely seriously, you just lost your chance to win a free cap with '1000W' printed on it.

Please do something about this. It's really annoying!

Yes. You wont be able to read the text because of the colour of the background is more highlighted than the text. Just try going to the site and you'll know what I mean.

Oh I have had this problem too & even SMS'ed Sam about it. Elf if you are reading please switch the text to a darker/more visible colour.
