I would rather have the Klipsch KPT-1502

I know it does not compare as far as size goes but I bet the sound is much better with the 1502, I have never heard better detailed bass.The danley sub I used before the 1502 was junk as far as quality of bass in a comparison, gave it away to one of the kids.

What's poor about the design (apart from being a DR)? :)

 

2 high excursion 15" drivers and one port leads to excessive cone rock witch leads to poor performance. Will it work ? Yes, but not as well as it could.

 

2 subwoofer drivers such as this should be opposed if used in the same cabinet.

 

For $1000, maybe a good buy but for the asking price its just a poor design to reel in the dummy's who don't know any better.

Agreed

 + Opposed / Cone to Magnet or PPSL config

 

I'm guessing that aesthetics / marketing / need to keep size / shipping costs as low as possible came into play

Thanks

To be fair, did you have the head engineer from Klipsch come over and dial it in like he did your current sub?

I think it was a home made SPUD.

Yes it was a Spud I meant to say that but forgot to type it. I originally planned to build a second one but the 1502 is much better. The Spud goes deep but not the best for musical bass by far.

Well what he did was change the crossover points, I think it's 80 Hz now and there are no DSP's set in the Crown XTI 1002 which surprised me. 

 

He told me to get the Crown XTI 1002, I was thinking because it can be set with DSP's and that's what Roy wanted. After I asked what DSP's were set and he said none, I asked well why did you tell me to get that amp ? He said cause I like it !   Bonehead
