Which NEXO subwoofer sounds better?

what would you think about the way reggae sound system's preamps (crossovers) divide sub and bass in their 5 way structure:
- SUB : 28 Hz - 75 Hz
- BASS : 75 Hz -190 Hz
- MID : 190 Hz - 2,2KHz
- HORN :2,2 KHz - 8 KHz
- TWEETERS : 8 KHz - 20 KHz
do you think it would help high end speakers like bass boss'quad 21' kraken (plugged just for subs) and nexo's 18' subwoofers (plugged just for bass) deliver more consistent output?

Nice video, I really enjoy watching

Both cabinets have the same driver model

The voltage which you saw after the single burst should be the induction from the transducer when it moves.

I’m sure your neighbors appreciate the experimentation! Haha thanks for posting very interesting.

By any chance, was that some part of the space cowboy bassline? 😊

The increased protection at the probable tuning frequency (36Hz) is likely due to the diminished cone excursion thus low heat exchange. Other segments of the frequency spectrum allow a greater cone excursion, enhancing cooling of the voice coil. Low-frequency drivers depend on cone excursion to control temperature for their voice coils. In ported cabinets, the tuning frequency represents the point of maximum system efficiency and minimal cone excursion. Great video indeed, thanks for posting it.

Sounds like lucky

l18 has has more low sub bass s1 has more mid high bass. the output on l18 is louder sounding to the ear... more rich smooth. if i had to pick one for a set up it would be l18 for the fact of it seems like it can be a power house of a woofer

How do these compare to the l-acoustics sb18?

L18 moves more grass. We have a winner!😂

The chuffing of both makes them unlistenable, they both sound like they're underwater

The level on that left sub seems to drop at least 6dB with protection. At least it stops the DJs blowing them up I suppose.

I prefer L18

Interesting comparison would be both at low volume and high volume to see how port compression has an affect on the response. Besides that due to compression, change in tuning frequency.

i prefer the s118 because of the protection but for the bass quality i prefer the l18 it sounds deeper for me on my airpods max listening to my windows pc but it looks like the l18 has a hard punch vent and i don't really like that, i have a FBT Q118SA not the same but really nice

how about using a horn model box

It would be good to see how they do without processing.

name of the first song please

name of the first song please

absurt how some other channels that all they do is play tracks and read the specs get 100,000s views and this channel that gives true data only gets a few 1000s.
Great video.👍😉👍👏👏👏👏

S118 sounds more windy noisy from the port, L18 is much quiter, I guess the noise is from the grille.

Some of the most informational videos on YT . Can You explain, how did you attenuate signal from amplifier to your scope?

L18

Super subwoofer sound !!!

Would the nexo p12 or p15 be an upgrade from l-acoustics 12xt?

Can you guys test a rotary sub against a regular sub ?

The Reason for the sustain in the frequency cycle is due to the eq applied . To make sure that there is no phase shifting , they use linear phase on the eq . Non Linear Phase Eqs change the phase of a frequency wich could cause trouble when setting subs up . Linear Phase Eqs need some delay and pre ringing on order to reproduce the sine wave phase accurately.

Tu this videos make me sick)

The differences between electrical an acoustical response simply comes from the fact that the loudspeaker itself is a bandpass = combination of highpass and lowpass (filter), so it adds its own phase and frequency responses to the electrical response of the amp signal! This is all about filter theory, does not matter whether the filters are of electrical or acoustical/mechanical source, they simply sum up…

Had no idea that modern equipment has advanced protection circuits. Wow that really protects

Alot of really intelligent comments on this video

Nice comparison. It seems the old one struggles with less real sensitivity at 36Hz, with amp pushing like +7dB into an impedance minimum. That is a log of heat in the excursion minimum. Not that I do better, but that's why I like the speaker cone do the job with large displacement 21" even in small volume tuned lower, so the port only serves as ventilation and cone movement protection, while riding the impedance peak. Gonna stick to that.

What is the software you are using in these speakers testing videos and demonstration videos? I wanna try them out on my subwoofers/speakers/monitors! ( i don't wanna pay for the softwares )

Both sound pretty renk

What makes you think we all used an iphone lol

I love rat sound

Exelente prueba pero xfabor traducelo en español latinoamericana.. Para enterderte mejor ya 😃

Thanx for the great video! :)

Wouldn't it be a real comparison by switching off the EQs? Low and high cut is necessary, of course, but the EQ kind of faking it... with a DSP you get Sound out of any single transducer box.

Interesting video. Writing this comment three minutes into the video.

These 18" woofer cabinets by Nexo must be for Pro Audio concert type applications due to the drop off below 40hz.

When I build subwoofer boxes I prefer to use drivers and cabinet alignments that hit as low as possible. Currently have (3) 4.6cu foot boxes tuned to 21hz with 12" drivers.

(2) of the 4.6cu foot boxes have Infinity Reference 12" 1262W.
(1) of the 4.6cu foot boxes has an Alpine Type R 12".

All (3) boxes are -3db at 19hz. The Alpine puts out a few dbs more across the band then the Infinity References.

The Infinities were only $60 when I bought them like 9 years ago. The Alpine type R was almost $300 and has triple the power handling.

I have a Crown XLS2000 with a Rolls Pro Match MB15B off the LFE out from our Costco Denon receiver driving (1) Infinity 12" and (1) Alpine type R in our main home theater.

Upstairs I have (1) Infinity 12" on a Crown XLS1002 with a Rolls Pro Match MB15B off a Sony DH790.

Regardless, vides like this are fun to watch. I am curious by that spl curve though. It appears to roll off well above any home theater sub application. I am guessing this must be a Pro audio woofer setup.

all i got car stereo to match this up to. alternators wiring battery/caps amps subs. if out put from the deck is good. then you can to some conclusion there is something else going on. in my opinion amps and subs. given power from the wall is good and the wire is capable.

Can you do a L20 vs S118 in the new 4x4 mk II amp?

L18 only bass s118 Mix music sound also

Try to get band-pass subwoofers to sound good challenge: impossible.

Could you do those tests with the MSub18, too? Would you say the MSub18 is basically half of an RS18? Seems to be the same speaker chassis inside…

Btw one important thing to remember about this kind of test is that the air noise through the ports is almost always masked by the total sound of the mid and high cabinets in the rest of the system. Very, very rarely are subwoofers like this in a situation where their particular artifactual noises are on display so clearly, with no other sounds in the environment. In a live sound setting, you have the stage volume, the audience, the rest of the PA system, etc. Both of these subwoofers are much "quieter" than most subs in their same category that are capable of producing similar overall SPL levels.
