Members agedhorse Posted February 20, 2007 Members Share Posted February 20, 2007 Smallest may not give you adequate performance. What are you matching it up with, what kind of music, how loud and budget are 4 important questions to know the answers to before giving you any meaningful answers.

Members drumstix Posted February 21, 2007 Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 If you want small take a look at the new JBL VRX915s. Saw these babies at Namm and they are small but I bet they sound good. http://jblpro.com/products/portablesound/vrx/vrx915S.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Therefore, two 10'' drivers = 200 total surface area while one 18'' driver = 324. Of course, I could be wrong, but I believe this is how it is measured.

Saw these babies at Namm and they are small but I bet they sound good.http://jblpro.com/products/portablesound/vrx/vrx915S.html We just bought a VRX setup with the 18" subs (One of the first few shipped - they came accompanied with a JBL Rep). Ya the boxes are relativly small. The best part is that they're really light and sound absolutly killer (we got to demo them at a pretty high volume). They're in this little lounge area that is a funky duo stage earlier in the day but turns into thumpin Disco at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Assuming a flat surface area, to get area you take radius squared times pi. 5x5x3.14 x 2 (for the two 10"s) = 157 sq. in.9x9x3.14 = 254.34 sq. in. for the single 18"7.5x7.5x3.14 = 176.6 sq. in. for a single 15" Of course this does not take into acoount the total movement (excursion) of the speaker cone or piston action to account for how much actual air gets moved by the radiating surface.

Members BillESC Posted February 21, 2007 Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 While not a 15" cabinet KV2's EX 2.2 should be given serious consideration. The 2.2 is a dual 12" subwoofer with serious power and extreme definition in the smallest of packages. Height 18.54Width 23.38Depth 24.21 Long term SPL 130 dB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gruvjack Posted February 21, 2007 Members Share Posted February 21, 2007 The Yorkville NX720S is an active single 15" sub. 21.5 x 18.1 x 22.75 inches, 73 pounds. http://www.yorkville.com/products.asp?type=29&cat=22&id=365 However, just like the elusive unicorn or dragon, many folks have heard tales of it but no one seems to have actually seen one to verify its existence.
