Welcome to SoundSplinter's home-theater oriented, official online forum. Many thanks to the good people here at the Home Theater Shack who have provided the space for this discussion forum, especially Sonnie, who is obviously dedicated to seeing this community succeed in providing help and valuable information to the masses.
SoundSplinter has in its beginnings, tended to maintain popularity only amongst the car audio enthusiasts, but today I can happily state that this is no longer the case. Many home theater audiophiles, be them the infinitely baffled, mondo-huge vented box fanatics, or the linkwitz-transform lovin' sealed box enthusiasts, are ranking SoundSplinter drivers amongst their top choices for high performance, attractively priced do-it-yourself sub stage drivers. As such, we are thrilled to be a part of this growing community!
On the lineup; we are currently offering three different series of subwoofer drivers. These are arranged in order of economy and overall potential, though each series definitely excels in its own specific arenas. Though no one has built yet the perfect speaker, we're doing our best to build speakers tailored to a variety of applications.
For those seeking a budget system and looking to preserve their economy of space, using low to moderate levels of input power, our Ignition Series (RL-i) subwoofer drivers will offer superb sound quality in sealed enclosures with a power feed between 150 - 400 watts. Available in 8" and 10" sizes, dual and single 4 ohm, 2" diameter voicecoil configuration, these are perfect for filling small rooms or automobiles with impactful, rich, sub-bass frequencies from small sealed enclosures.
Stepping up to our median - and our most popular offering - we feature the Premium Series (RL-p) subwoofer drivers, sporting a solid 3" diameter voicecoil alongside a competitive 2" peak-to-peak linear excursion capability. Suitable for sealed enclosures, these will come alive in vented alignments producing massive output off of 1000 watts or less of input power. Displacing a good amount of air without coming close to breaking the bank, these mamas are likewise a wonderful candidate for those seeking a driver suitable for infinite baffle use.
Bringing us to our most powerful, over-engineered, robust and dauntingly impressive drivers, the Supreme Series (RL-s). Utilizing a custom-wound variable density voicecoil, this driver will maintain constant force (Bl) throughout its massive 3" of peak-to-peak linear excursion capability (4" peak to peak attainable), leaving the listener with one of the cleanest and most accurate sub-bass drivers available on the market today. Though in comparison to our other products the price may seem steep, most comparable drivers list easily at twice the price.
All of our drivers are designed with high quality cast steel parts, and soft parts engineered with finite-element software to ensure stringent linearity and durability. As extreme sound quality is our utmost intention, all of our drivers feature a custom cut copper shorting sleeve to further aid in reducing any audible distortion. But enough about the products, obviously a company will speak highly of their own offerings and you can go to
our website to read more about 'em if you wish.. For now, allow me to tell you a bit about myself!
In my third decade of conscious existence on this planet, I am an abstract yet practical thinker. With no formal training in engineering, I defer to those with decades of expertise to refine the characteristics of my products based on the feedback I receive from all of my customers. I am a service-oriented person, aiming to operate an independent retail outlet with quality products backed by uncanny personal service. Knowing well that I am a thrifty man when it comes to my own purchases, and that I appreciate an honest opinion from those to whom I may tender my money, I set out to create a subwoofer company that won't moo the consumer with heaps of hype and flashy gimmicks, quasi-science and mass marketing.
This forum is hosted with the intent to provide people a place to share their experiences with our products, as well as discuss potential future products/applications, concerns, or anything that one may wish to discuss with respect to SoundSplinter. I will make a strong effort to be present on these boards, and special thanks to Darren, a SoundSplinter IB user and moderator here, who will also be helping out. If you need to get ahold of me urgently, please contact me directly through our
online form.
With that said, those who check in from time to time will be served well, as I will be offering occasional specials to forum goers. There is no predestined timetable for these offers so stay sharp, quick on the draw, and you may benefit. Thanks for hearing me out and thanks for visiting our forum!
