This can be easily found on the net and also in some retail stores (I bought it locally at Sam Ash). It is usually $49.99. I haven't opened it up yet, but if someone would like me to, I could. I decided to measure the low end FR of it though, to compare it to the more common ART Cleanbox. Judging the results, I think it is superior out of the box.

I've indicated the -3dB point, which is 6.8Hz. The -2dB point is 9Hz and the -1dB point is 13.6Hz.

-1dB = 13.6Hz
-2dB = 9Hz
-3dB = 6.8Hz
-6dB = 3.7Hz
-9dB = 2.2Hz

I personally think that is just fine and a mod would be unnecessary. What do you guys think?

That looks jam up to me. I would see no need to modify it if I owned one.

I think that the ART may have met it's match. That roll off below 10hz looks fine to me too. I can live with -2db at 9hz. To bad we didn't know about this before Christmas, it would've made a nice stocking stuffer!

Has anyone else bought one of these? How's the input sensitivity matching consumer/pro versus the CleanBox?

Don't know of anyone else on the forums that has one. But hey, if you want one I'll sell you mine. I don't need it anymore.

I recently bought one of the s-convert bump boxes for my EP4000 amp. It works great, the output from the dual subs measured nice and clean to 20hz. In fact -0.2db at 19hz so I am happy. The level of output was sufficient once I cranked the dial on the s-convert all the way up.

That is the reason I use the Samson with my EP-2500 and 2 subs. I heard a few months back that there was no mod necessary. Sorry I didn't mention it but I thought people here knew already.

It works very well and I get full power out of the 2500. I am running 2 diy 12'' subs, one is a 1.0cf sealed box with the ED 13ov.2 and the other is a 4cf sealed box with the Shiva x. I run the Samson wide open, my recievers sub level at 0.0db and my 2500 at 1/4 gain and it is more than enough.
