Silver Member Username: StamantPensacola, FL USA Post Number: 116 Registered: Sep-04 | I listen mainly to hard rock. Would one 15" Brahma be able to hit the fast double bass drums? Or is it true that 10" or even 12" subs are made more for this type of music? |

Silver Member Username: StamantPensacola, FL USA Post Number: 117 Registered: Sep-04 | James, would it sound good in a ported box and be able to hit the fast beats? |

Silver Member Username: PelonaPost Number: 636 Registered: Dec-05 | is a double kick drum when the drummer kicks the kick drum quickly? |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 5603 Registered: May-04 | Keep in mind it will play that fast, it just doesn't sound as good doing it compared to some good midbass drivers. |

It's more for 60hz on down, gets kind of muddy in the midbass transition area." my 12's transition really well from my 6.5's. with kicks, the mids handle everything from 600-60hz, and the subs do an excellent job from there (mostly harmonics?). generally, the kicks are going to be muddy below 80hz anyway. |

Gold Member Username: Jonathan_fGA USA Post Number: 5605 Registered: May-04 | That's b/c you have them crossed at 60hz. Kick drums, double basses, that's more 60-100hz and higher territory, not what I'd consider to be a duty for a sub. I think it's important to point out the difference between midbass and subbass from your mids Iridium midbasses are stouter than your typical 6.5", too. |

Post Number: 2157 Registered: May-05 | indeed. a great set altogether i think (the iridiums). i wonder how the nobeliums will do in comparison (any word?), and if they might utilize the tech thrown into the 8" prototypes. but with regards to the system, the more i buy the more difficult it is to coordinate properly. between the car system and the home studio, i just can't seem to ever get close enough to perfect. something always happens. just got my window broken into in the school lot (chicago). so now i have to redo the whole system to stealth. otherwise it's just not worth the looking over my shoulder everyday. |

Silver Member Username: StamantPensacola, FL USA Post Number: 119 Registered: Sep-04 | Jonathan, because I listen mainly to hard rock and you said, "Brahma isn't really a kick drum kind of sub in any size. It's more for 60hz on down, gets kind of muddy in the midbass transition area," what setup do you reccomend for me. I wanted to spend no more than $500 for the subs. thanks |

Silver Member Username: AlteraudiousaConcord Post Number: 279 Registered: Jan-06 | A good high extension sub is the RL-p or ED Ov.2 series. I would probably go with the RL-p. But with double kicks and some of the more midbass I'd get a good set of comps that can be crossed at 50hz or 60hz on a 12db slope. Or get midbass drivers like Tang Band 6.5s or some companies 8in subs. |
