NOZ Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 Hi all, Anyone heard of this sub? Here's a link www.bagend.com/infrasub18.htm Just want to know how good they are. I'm used to SVS, so just a comparison. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted September 25, 2009 Share Posted September 25, 2009 They have a strange way of measuring frequency response. Full power at 8Hz and minimal power at 90 Hz to achieve a flat response. Then it goes on to say that you can't hear or FEEL response at that frequency with this sub. Sounds like marketing mish mash to me. Basically it's a sealed 18 with a 500 watt amp. The spec sheet says 500 and the operational page says 400watts, who knows. I'm not sure what market they're going after. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael hurd Posted September 27, 2009 Share Posted September 27, 2009 Marketing B.S..... You'd be much farther ahead if you bought a decent driver, an amp and built an enclosure. What are your requirements in terms of output and bandwidth? Self powered ( plate amp ) or seperate amp? Form factor? You could do a nice large sonotube enclosure with an appropriate 18" driver for the win. [] Oh, btw... you were the one who corrupted me.... with those CS Ultra's. [] Hope you are doing great Sean!

TheEAR Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Marketing...BS. Yes sir, BAG END 8Hz claim has a nice thick sugar coating around it. 8Hz at what output? What use is the 8Hz is the output is very low,so low you are hard pressed to notice it ?! The good ole sonotube(giant toilet paper roll)ported with a low cost 15 or 18" driver with ~20mm of Xmax or more will batter the BagEnd in the audible and in the infrasonic band.Sonotubes can be tuned around 10Hz if need bee(and space permits).

The Dude Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Not to interrupt fellas but these sonotubes how are they, looks like they are made out of concrete forums, I have lots of forums around my shop and a 15" woofer are these worth the build and what else would it take any plans. thanks duder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheEAR Posted October 2, 2009 Share Posted October 2, 2009 Yes sonotumes are made with concrete forms,close them with two to four layers(3/4" thick each) of MDF/birch ply and you have the enclosure. Inexpensive,fast build and brings great results. Cannot be beat for the money and ease of built. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HiFi Heaven Posted October 8, 2009 Share Posted October 8, 2009 I've owned the BAG END Infrasub 18" for 10 years - there's nothing like it! I've bought another for stereo bass! Best description: sounds like you've removed the floor from your listening room - astounding - no boom - fast & LOUD! Believe the specs - it's not hype - you CAN hear the difference! I was watching Ally McBeal right after I got the first one, and somebody slammed a door - my pants cuffs shook! I listen to Pipe Dreams on NPR and the deepest bass is amazingly clean and powerful.
