tigerwoodKhorns Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Nobody can tell me how these compare to the F113. The F113 is expensive. If these have similar tight and fast bass they are a real bargain. Anyone? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CECAA850 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Multiple subwoofers will always perform better than one. IF they are set up properly. You can actually have LESS bass with two subs than you have with one if your phase is off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo33 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 At $3,300, I can buy quad Empires. If you have one, let me borrow it and I will do a comparison for you. But there ain't no way I am gonna buy the F113. Based on the test done by Home Theater Labs, a single Empire eats the F113 alive in term of outputs at the lowest frequency. When I buy a sub, I look at strong lowest frequency outputs with least distortion for the least amount of money. I do not understand the concept of high prices and brand names. They don't mean anything. Just give me the test numbers and price. I have not seen another subwoofer in the same price range that can beat the Epik Empire. Nobody can tell me how these compare to the F113. The F113 is expensive. If these have similar tight and fast bass they are a real bargain. Anyone?

tigerwoodKhorns Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Thanks for the answer Neo. But easy cowboy, do you feel strong about the topic? lol. I have an F113 that I bought on Audiogon years ago. It is a great sub and was really the only game in town when I got it. I have no plans to replace it, but I am slowly putting together a system for a game room and I like the F113 sound, but will not spend that much for a second system. Anyway, look at my first post. I did say that if this thing performs like an F113, it is a serious bargain, which it appears to be. Can you post some links to the tests? I am interested in the result. This thing looks really interesting. BTW, I did not buy the F113 to impress anyone. I had a Klipsch SW15 from the early 90's and it was big, loose and flabby. I had never heard of JL Audio but the reviews were great and it did exactly what I wanted it to do. The only person who has ever seen it and was impressed was an 18 year old kid. You know, the kind that pull up next to you at a stoplight and turn up the bass so it shakes you car and annoys the piss out of you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neo33 Posted July 16, 2012 Share Posted July 16, 2012 Sorry, I didn't mean it that way. BTW, I did not buy the F113 to impress anyone. This is the CEA-2010 measurements for the Empire: http://www.data-bass.com/data?page=system&id=50&mset=48 Can you post some links to the tests?

whatever55 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 Kinda looks like the RSW-15...... How would it compare ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted July 21, 2012 Share Posted July 21, 2012 The Epik has dual 15 in. drivers and behaves like an 18 in or slightly larger sub but, has the quickness of a 15 in sub. With two drivers the amp does not have to be as powerful for the performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshjp Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yay just got it today, im loving duals again, there much more presence to the bass, and there is more of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stormin Posted July 24, 2012 Share Posted July 24, 2012 Yay just got it today, im loving duals again, there much more presence to the bass, and there is more of it. Congrats. How would you rate these on the slam factor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshjp Posted July 24, 2012 Author Share Posted July 24, 2012 Well with two of them, i actually felt the back of my chair vibrate, i never felt that with one Empire. So i would say that the SLAM factor is great, althought these are the best subs ive had, i would say that there great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
