Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion Advice from Axiom Owners Stryke Subwoofers, got info

I finally got thru to John at Stryke Custom Audio Solutions). I was looking for info on their Mini - Thunder subwoofer. According to him the Mini-Thunder is 16x16x17" high with the legs. It has a 12" Woofer, 2 12" passive resistors (one on each side) and a 350 watt amp. THE FOLLOWING IS PASTED FROM HIS RESPONSE TO ME "As far as comparisons between the SVS and HSU go, the MiniThunder has one big advantage in the PR's. The smaller SVS subs are tuned to 25hz. You really don't get much output below the tuning frequency at all. The Pr's allow you to tune much lower because they fit right on the sides. Longer ports are nearly impossible to fit in the smaller enclosures, and they also have problems with vent noise and compression which will limit output. The PR's do not have vent noise, and do not compress at all". He claims based on performance specs that his sub will go lower than the HSU VTF-2. He is familiar with Ron from SVS and can compare his to the PB1-ISD. The price for Stryke sub is 549.00 + shipping and is available in many diff finishes at no extra cost. These are built to order and would take approx 2 weeks to receive. Any thoughts? Any other questions I can pose to him to get the record straight on the products? Warranties are 1yr amp, 2yr driver. Whatta ya think. Suggestions.

Where are they located ? Is there a web site ?

They are in the midst of changing to Custom Audio Solutions,
I spoke to John this afternoon. Spent some time with me answering questions, very patient.

Stryke and Adire are the favorites of all the DIY sub builders from budget to expensive. If I was buying a pre-built sub I'd certainly put Stryke in the auditioning mix along with Hsu and SVS. Their drivers are awful pretty too

Actually, it turns out to be www.styke.com.. Their site seems a bit out of date, with some of the 'click to' buttons non working ? The forum seems up and running, so I will have to spend a little time over there now, checking it all out.. Thanks again for the lead..

You can get a lot of Stryke info at hometheaterforum.com in the DIY section. A lot of speaker builders hang there including reps from Stryke and Adire.
