 SVS, eD, Hsu, Epik are catering to the Internet Savvy, High Value Buyer that wants all out performance without regard to box size. They are filling the niche left by the mainstream sub makers. |
These subs take advantage of all the latest advances in technology, materials, and techniques and even the above boxes ARE smaller than 20 years ago. I built Karlson, Bass Reflex, EV folded horns, RCA theater speakers, and James Lansing clones that were 12 to 20 cubic feet.
There's no need to build enclosures like they did 20 years ago unless you have a particular driver or drivers that benefit from LLT or IB configuration and you wanna scare the family with 6 kids in the next block!
Twenty years ago there WAS no discussion about reproducing 10HZ . . . . there was no driver that could do that at noticeable volumes.
