Well this was the trend up until about a year ago and now we're gradually seeing car subs become more and more like Home subs. Car subwoofers are generally made to function in small moderatly high tuned enclosures where as home subs are built to work in larger lower tuned enclosures. |

Post Number: 1599 Registered: May-05 | My sub is a hybrid between the Sadhara driver (the home audio version of the Brahma) which added more moving mass, a single 4 ohm voice coil, and a few minor differences in cosmetics. http://ultimateavmag.com/features/704way/index1.html When the Brahma soft parts were added, this got rid of the extra moving mass and brought it to the dual 2 ohm coils of the Brahma's, so what was left is the differing cosmetics (Huge Motors). So the difference is basically the mass of the soft parts (cone, spider, and surround) and the impedence. "So why wouldnt a high quality car sub in a proper enclosure sound as good as a home theatre sub of the same specs in a home." as tuck suggested, home subs and car subs are becomming more alike. these are home subs that work well in cars (the tumult is undergoing the changes to make it even better in car) http://www.acoustic-visions.com/~acoustic/products/subwoofer_drivers/parts_titan ic_12_mkiii/ http://www.acoustic-visions.com/~acoustic/products/subwoofer_drivers/adire_tumul t_15/ |
