I love my crown xls2502 . It’s silent , no fan noise like a behringer nu6000 Dsp I owned briefly . I know the behringer was rated higher power. I didn’t noticed a difference in performance or overall output. I think the crown might have hit harder and played cleaner I ran the crown with a jl 12W7 ported 5.0 Cuft box . Great for music . I think my 2- ultimax 12” sealed 2.0 cuft hit harder for home theater. That was
Two ultimax subs against one jl 12w7 . I don’t think I could ever quite get the 12w7 tamed via my Minidsp /Rew or just using the crowns Dsp with my receiver. I am now using the crown xls2502 with 2--42” h 20” r ported sono tubes with 12” Svs pci subs . The crown xls2502 can drive them to their max.
That's nice to hear, you got 2 ultimate 12 in a 2 cu ft box? or is it 2cu ft for each sub?
for that money you could certainly get a much better sub...but I understand totally if your in love w JL.. I built 2 JL subs for my buddy's HT 4 yrs ago and they are very good.
I'd love to hear your thoughts. The 13w7 that I was going to buy sold out and doesn't seem to be coming back soon.
I could get a dayton UM18-22, but the box would be too big. If possible I'd like to stick with something smaller with a lot of excursion to compensate.
I ended up getting an EP2500, a little beat up because I bought used (due to no stocks of EP4000), but I'm making the best of it that I can. Bought a replacement fan, I'm cleaning the inside too (the smell of dust was really strong, I still don't know if it's going to stop smelling). probably gonna upgrade the PSU capacitors to 18000 uf (somebody changed one of them, so if I'm going to make things right, might aswell upgrade).
Anyway, I can't get the 13w7 anymore, I've been browsing some fi subs, EMF Audio and PSI, but idk about their SQ for non-SPL applications.
