FSP Subwoofer Shootout ! (24-25/05/08)

First of all, thank you adam for hosting the event and thanks to everyone that turned up.
The least you can say is that we didn't get as many boxes as expected (and confirmed?), we
tested double 18" reflex, 15" Ported horns, P.audio loaded X1, Bandpass Bertha, PD1850 and
VOid V1000 loaded X1, HD215, double 15" kick bins and a box I forgot the name of.

So very far from the awesome list of cabs we expected, a cancelation notice by pm or email would have
been nice.... Anyway, we had a great time and took time to listen to all boxes.

Chris was in charge of the plots, they will be posted soon.

In the meantime here are some pics:

The ported horns were amazing, identical to HD15 but they dropped lower.
We got the usual results: horns are more efficient than reflexes, doubling of the horn
result in an increase of 3db etc (you will see that on the plots).
I loved the void/pd loaded X1 (as usual) very powerful compared to the p.audio loaded X1.
Bandpass bertha wasn't loud (needed more power) but dropped very low.
More details with the plots soon.

yes there is a huge potential with bertha, full scoop bertha [img]smileys/smiley20.gif[/img]
