Silver Member Username: Jwbulger79Florida Post Number: 112 Registered: Nov-04 | specs on the Arc 12" http://www.arcaudio.com/arc-05/subwoofers/kar_12d4.htm what specs are the best indicators of how much spl you will get? linear excursion? the Shiva has a one-way xmax of 16mm and the Arc has a 8mm one-way xmax. does this mean the shiva will destroy the arc in spl? not sure if i'm making any sense?? |

Silver Member Username: Jwbulger79Florida Post Number: 113 Registered: Nov-04 | cool. thanks trevor. the shiny looks of the Arc almost had me sold i'm down to two choices now - Shiva or Atlas the retail on the atlas is $145. anyone know any place cheaper? can pickup the shiva for $125 shipped, so $$ might be the tiebreaker. |
