Members troyr_2000 Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 Will 1 properly powered EV QRX out perform 2 Yorkville LS808 in terms of volume and throw? I know it goes lower. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members twostone Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 Might check out Danley TH line of subs if your needed a heavy hitting sub that can go low.http://www.danleysoundlabs.com/products/subwoofers/tapped-horns/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members OneEng Posted January 20, 2013 Members Share Posted January 20, 2013 It would not be a huge difference in either direction IMHO. It may sound better depending on your taste Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bobby1Note Posted January 21, 2013 Members Share Posted January 21, 2013 According to the specs, they should have roughly the same output, but the QrX should go a bit lower (39Hz/-3dB vs 45Hz/-3dB for the 808's. The QrX has higher power handling, but lower sensitivity (102dB/1w/1m vs 105dB/1w/1m) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bobby1Note Posted January 21, 2013 Members Share Posted January 21, 2013 Keep in mind that those specs I gave you are for a single 808, vs the 2x18 QrX. A pair of 808's will probably go a few dB's lower than the 45Hz of a single 808, plus a few more dB's of output for doubling of surface area. If I'm not mistaken, they're both rated at roughly 136dB continuous, with a peak of 141dB for the QrX vs 139dB for a single 808. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jonthomas Posted January 21, 2013 Members Share Posted January 21, 2013 QRX 218 is 150lbs. 808's are horn loaded so they should be louder per watt. I would not want to haul either up a flight of stairs. Spl levels are not always measured in the same way so take manufactures ratings with a grain of salt. What is the application ?
