    Carbon Series 18 inch Subwoofer

     

    Custom colors and polished carbon available by request.

     

    The Carbon Series is the result of over 6 years of design and development with the express purpose of being the best subwoofer aimed squarely at the customer that wants every last scrap of bass that they paid for, and they want it all to be clean, like squeaky clean.

     

    Here are some notes on what makes a Carbon Series speaker so awesome. If you don't understand it, contact me and we can chat about it.

    • The carbon fibre is a key component to reducing the ill effects of resonance and as such it offers distinct advantages in driver behaviour, amp programming, and increases clarity of sound. 
    • The sonic profile (frequency response) is aimed at being within shuffling distance from the C24 L1, and this is why: We don't belive in forcing people to pay for more low end. We set the minimum standard of low end performance and then roll off the top end. 
    • Here is why the sonic profile is radical:  If you are running a bookshelf speaker it will not be able to keep up in output anyway, so you can extend the top end of the subwoofer and then dial down the gain to match your bookshelf, all while having all the low end the subwoofer is capable of putting out. If you are running a big main speaker, let the sub off the chain and its all good.
    • What's the deal with the L1 L2 L3? Simple, the higher the performance level, the more pure audio you get and the less distortion and compression while increasing your maximum SPL level. Louder and cleaner. Win Win.
