texxas guy Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 ...and what are the specs on it? I don't find a lot of info on their site. I am asking about the 12" and 15" models. Are they comparable to SVS and HSU? Thanks in advance for the info. Larry (still weighing options) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteelerFan Posted August 25, 2005 Share Posted August 25, 2005 I have the 15" and like it very much. As far as specs go you are going to have to wait for someone like meuge to chime in. I'm just not a technically inclined spec kind of guy. As far as comparing it to HSU or SVS I suppose it depends alot on what model you are comparing it to. It has great thump but I'd say in general it won't dig quite as deep as some of the SVS and HSU's do. Sorry, but's that's the best I can do.

Larry (still weighing options) ---------------- I have the 15" model, which I've reviewed here: http://forums.klipsch.com/idealbb/view.asp?topicID=59175 It is an amazing sub, especially given its modest price. Check out the thread... it should contain all the information you need. The only thing that I would like to add is that I now prefer the crossover point at 80Hz instead of 40Hz. The high quality of the Titanic III and the fidelity with which it reproduces sound allow you to add punch to the mid bass without losing clarity... something I couldn't do with my HSU VTF-2.

Scp53 Posted August 28, 2005 Share Posted August 28, 2005 i own the dayton titanic 10 and its a decent sub. however, the amp that it comes with is too small as it clips the driver easily. after removing the bass boost at 30hz(6db) it got better but still can clip easily. other than that its a solid sub/amp/cab combo. well built and good sounding imo. scp53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
formica Posted August 29, 2005 Share Posted August 29, 2005 The biggest difference i can see is the Titan is a sealed enclosure versus a ported enclosure used for both the HSU and SVS. It'll sound quite different, with the ported ones playing lower and more efficiently... but with the sealed one free from any port noise. You could also design a ported Titanic rather than use the kit, but then that would be a bigger project. I suppose it depends what you are after?

DrWho Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 If my memory serves me correct, I think the Titanic is about -12dB at 20Hz, with a -3dB point near 30Hz??? I don't have my modelling software available so I couldn't tell you for sure. I think they do post frequency response graphs on the site though...

texxas guy Posted August 31, 2005 Author Share Posted August 31, 2005 Thanks to all who have responded about the Titan. I was hoping to hear from a few more actual owners of the 12" or 15" Model. I guess I am just trying to cover all the bases on a subwoofer purchase. I kept seeing posts recommending this sub and I am not at all familiar with it. Probably a little gun shy about buying a DIY vs from a more well-known company like SVS or HSU. I just want to get the most bang for my buck when I do purchase. I am leaning heavily now in the direction of the SVS 20-39+. I want a sub that is capable of playing loud, but can reach down low when needed ( the depth charge scene from U-571 comes to mind[]) Anyway, thanks for the input!

DrWho Posted August 31, 2005 Share Posted August 31, 2005 well if you have an attic or basement below you theatre then you need to go the route of four Avalanche 18's with a 1000 watt amplifier....you'd get a good 126dB down into the lower teens [] (the drivers are $200 each and the amp would be about $500 or so). You could always go with less drivers (2 of them would do 114dB solid down to 15Hz or so). There are other DIY options depending on what you're willing to spend on how big of an enclosure you can go with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
