A 10" woofer is going to have a hard time reaching really low. I think what Axiom is squeezing out of their 12" is exceptional. Now This is a big(er) sub: Dual 15" high excursion drivers in an 8 cf sealed cabinet.

I'm skeptical that a 400 watt amp and 2 ten-inchers are going to come anywhere close to the extension and volume of the EP800. Without specs listed for that sub it's hard to know for sure, but just from what little is listed, it seems like a long shot.

The nearly $3,000 price for a sub with a 400 watt amplifier seems laughable.

That's pretty far from the 12-150hz +/- 1db mentionned by Ian. The EP800 rules! I'll eventually have one... eventually... (when I can install it in a house).

Thanks for the link CV. 20Hz seems about right for a high excursion 10" driver.

Heck, even my old sub reached to 21hz, just not with any authority. Now that I have it back I should hook it back up and do some REW graphs with it.

It might be an interesting experiment Jay. When I did that with an old sub that was supposed to get to the low to mid 20hz range I found that it really dipped starting around the upper 20s.

I know not everyone here likes emotiva(I do ) but their soon to be released dual 12" sealed subs with 1000+ watts and unmatched Equalization might be great. Just the fact that their are two subs give you more options for placement to smooth out response--- vs one single monster.

By the way, why is it unmatched if it's equal?

Now Axiom is going to get sued because you guys used the word monster on the forum when not directly related to Monster cables.
