TasDom Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Nice to see that they have a new plan. I'm sure Tom and his customers have been going nuts with the delays. Hang in there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scrappydue Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 So once when I was engaged I got a tattoo of her name on my finger. Well we both did. And my boss told me that just jinxed the whole thing. He was right lol. I'm thinking you should change your avatar picture josh. At least until that fatass sub is sitting in front of you. ;-) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

norcuron Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I recently received my Triax. It is amazing. Everything I have thrown at it has been amazing. It will keep up with the RF-7s which can be hard to do at really high levels. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NBPK402 Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 I am waiting for mine too. Someone tested theirs and they hit 130db! Another person was getting 90db @7hz. This sub should be all I need for my LaScalas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It will keep up with the RF-7s which can be hard to do at really high levels. Good to hear especially after waiting for almost 5 months. This is on my short list for early next year if the great reviews continue....... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NBPK402 Posted December 1, 2013 Share Posted December 1, 2013 I have my Triax setup now (calibrated with my Denon 4520ci)... It ROCKS the HOUSE! It is the best HT sub I have ever had the chance to hear. When I have heard other subs they usually had what I call one note bass. This sub goes deep and loud and works very well with my La Scalas IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elninoloco7 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 .. I own a pair of PSA XV15 and those subs rock my entire 3 story home!!!! I can't imagine what this Triax mammoth will damage. I know Sealed subs don't output as much for lower frequencies, but with 3 subs and a powerful amp and in this shape'd enclosure, I wonder how it sounds like compared to a traditional single sealed typical box enclosure.

Scrappydue Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 sealed subs dont output as much as ported until you get to the tune of the cabinet. my sealed 18's are flat down to 8hz. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derrickdj1 Posted December 4, 2013 Share Posted December 4, 2013 Also, sealed subs use room gain. So, if the room is long, a sealed sub may not be the best options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scrappydue Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 Not sure what a long room would have to do with anything. ALL subs use room gain. Period. Sealed subs take more power and roll off lower hence being flat so low. Ported subs are more efficient and CAN have more output above their tune.

derrickdj1 Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 (edited) If you match drivers and other factors and made one sub vented and the other sealed, the sealed sub will start to drop off higher and have a less impressive low end. The sealed box will almost be twice as large and thus more efficient. Room gain starts around 40 Hz. The longer the room, the less the gain according to this formula: C is the speed of sound and L is the length of the room C/2*L 1130/2* 20=28.5 Hz so you will start gain 12 db/octave starting at 28.5.. This mean at 14Hz you will be up 12 db. Room gain is not boundary gain which is usually 2-5 db. If the length is 30 ft : 1130/2*30= 18 Hz. So you will be up 12 db at 9 Hz. So the gain is less and, this room gain has a greater effect on sealed subs. In large rooms it is better to get a sub that is vented and not chase after the low end since it will be harder to acheive. Getting drivers with more excursion can lead to more distortion. A sealed sub may have a higher low end than a vented sub below it tunning since the vented sub output will drop off like a rock in free fall, lol. Even more wattage will not solve everything. I can't get peak performance out of my Chase subs because even the most demanding movies only come close to using the 800 watt/ RMS and nowhere near the 1600 watt peak usage. With OHF/ Oblivion require no more than 600-700 watts during the most intense scenes at reference level. To get the peak performance I would have to do some type of sweep to see the watts peak near 1600, which is not needed for HT. The main reason I have sealed subs is due to their size compared to having vented subs with 18 in. drivers. I like subs with a good mid bass thump ( 40-80 Hz) since I have a large room and the compromise is on the low end. Some of the new movies have stuff in the 3-10 Hz region and sealed sub can reproduce this with the right driver and power supply. A ported sub can be damaged trying to get more output below it's tunning which is usually around 20-25 Hz for good ported sub. Some vented subs may go down to 15 Hz.. The Triax benefits from 3 drivers, sealed, and a powerful amp. It is definetly a LFE moster. Edited December 5, 2013 by derrickdj1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Triax benefits from 3 drivers, sealed, and a powerful amp. It is definetly a LFE moster. I think we cracked our hardwood floor with the TRIAX... I noticed the other day that we now have a crack in the floor (running along the edge of the board) about 6' from the Triax. I don't know for sure that it was caused by the Triax but it developed a week after the Triax was installed (during which time we had cranked it up for a couple of minutes).
