Jay481985 Posted November 16, 2007 Share Posted November 16, 2007 that thing is huge Hey! Be nice Jay! Some of us around here aren't exactly small. Of course to Michael Hurd it may appear somewhat puny. In any case, the RSW-15 is very nice looking and probably does a good job. The Epik Conquest does look pretty serious. Compared to the RSW-15 it is rather large. (Bigger is quite often better.) Enjoy your new sub! Both of you! This would be a win-win situation.

dexter Posted November 17, 2007 Author Share Posted November 17, 2007 Metellica "one" chest pounding tight lights out... wow ( Jacksonbart... My RF-7s have never sounded better) Star Wars Episode III: Incredible lows... The Conquest completally pressurized my entire entire basement with body pounding bass. Musically: I just wish the Conquest would have come out 3 years sooner. Conclusion: Yes its big... This sub has brought back the fun in home audio...

michael hurd Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 Having seemingly limitless bass can be very addictive... when you have an amp that can put our kilowatts effortlessly, a subwoofer driver that can displace a lot of air, and handle power with low thermal stress. So when do you order the second one....[] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 blsamuel, i have an tcsounds lms 5400 in my room Jay - are you going to post any pics (or maybe you have already in another thread)? The Epik conquest doesn't look that big. To my eyes, it looks significantly smaller than the washing machines we've owned. Now a large subwoofer was a homebuilt one from Speaker Builder magazines from the 80's or 90's. Sand filled double enclosure using 30" (yes, 30" unless my memory is wacked [*-)]) Electro Voice drivers. And I think they built a pair. Something like 27 cubic feet. Unfortunately I didn't find the article in the small stash of old Speaker Builder magazines I found in my garage. Only looked a couple of minutes as I'm not sure I've managed to keep all of them. Given a sub sat system where the subwoofer is many times the size of one of the satellites, a HUGE subwoofer would be fitting for a pair of La Scalas. But I did find a link with a picture of the 30" driver for anyone who thinks I'm making that up... http://www.talkbass.com/forum/showthread.php?t=19749 This thread says the 30" beast was used in the Patrician line. And here someone has one for sale: http://cgi.videogon.com/cgi-bin/cl.pl?subwpasv&1168105031&class&3&4& There's also a couple of ads for sale on eBay. There's also a pair of Patrician 800 speakers for sale - $3,000 - the size of an amoire http://savantaudio.com/evp800.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The RSW wasn't any fun in home audio? I find that really hard to believe... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
michael hurd Posted November 17, 2007 Share Posted November 17, 2007 The EV 30W has a very short throw.... and limited displacement. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 You guys enjoy your gigantic subs while I look forward to my itty bitty RSW 15.[|-)] I was extremely disappointed with the bass coming from my RSW 12 last night. Not the sub's fault but the movie soundtrack. I keep mine on auto-enable and cross over at about 70 hz. We watched Ocean's 13 and I swear to you the only time the sub kicked in the entire movie was during the earthquake simlations and even those weren't very impressive. Anyone else see that movie yet? There seemed to be plenty of scenes with great low-end possibilities but they just weren't used. Very disappointing! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 I watched it in the movie theater and I believe its the movietrack itself, as I believe they went for mostly vocal as more than 90% of the time someone is talking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BLSamuel Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 are you doubting me? Jay - not doubting you at all. I'd just like to see a picture. I do remember viewing some absolutely amazing internal bracing you had constructed of a subwoofer project you posted, at least I think it was you. Just don't recall seeing the finished project or other subs you may own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay481985 Posted November 18, 2007 Share Posted November 18, 2007 its still in my dorm as a driver, no enclosure yet. I am debating what type of enclosure I want. Before it was a sonotube but its quite hard to find 24 inch wide apparently. So I might do a 2' cube dual passive radiator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Q-Man Posted November 21, 2007 Share Posted November 21, 2007 More, more, please. I'm thinking of ordering the Conquest, and would like to hear your opinions. Q. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dexter Posted November 21, 2007 Author Share Posted November 21, 2007 Q-Man, I am still overwhelmed by the incredible performace of the Conquest. The Conquest has dramtically improved the sounstage of my 26 x 24 basment with room filling body punching, hair raising bass that literally take my breath away every time I listen to it.
