Strength:

Well, the product has a great deal of bass output, obviously

Weakness:

Cost. The size and weight are irrelevant.


I demoed this subwoofer at a shop in NY.. Impressive, yes... Problems? Well, for one.. ITS 16000 DOLLARS! This is ridiculous. The drivers used in this sub are Aura 1808 studio drivers.. They can be had from MCM Electronics and such for less than a thousand dollars per. High density fiberboard, 6" PVC tubes, screws, glue, clamps, etc, can all be had from local hardware stores for TINY money.. 6" Roundover flanges (for ports) can be had from PNR ports rather cheaply.. And amplifiers for subs can be gotten from almost anywhere, even for a 2000 watt amplifier you're looking at less than 5k.. So, once you put this together, you're out 7500$ or so and some work to make a 16000$ sub.. That kind of margin is inexcusable when you can do it yourself.
