First speaker question on the new forum!!!!!!!! Subwoofers

[Incognito]

yeah I use RCF312a's, awesome, so nothing beats the Yorkville's in my price range?

The Yorkville is a real good option, another consideration if you can expand your budget a little more would be the JBL PRX618SXLF http://www.audiomaster.cz/download/k...rx618s-xlf.pdf this would outperform the Yorkville.

For i think around the same price $1000US you can pick up a JBL PRX618S-XLF which is a really really nice subwoofer for its price.

Are those the tops you have? If so they have a built in HPF so you can get away with the Yorkville LS720p which lacks a true crossover.

Hmmm...unless they're different than the four 312a speakers I bought last summer they don't actually have a built-in HPF, just an XLR in/out, a mic/line switch, and a volume knob. The HPF is built in to the RCF subs instead and then fed to the RCF tops. So you'd need a separate crossover or a sub with high-pass outs.

so the PRX618S-XLF outperforms the LS720p dramatically?
but then since the XLF is around 1000 shouldnt I be asking how is the XLF against the yorkville ls800p?

Hmm, you could be right since I am going off of memory here & never bothered to look up the actual spec.

Yes the PRX618sXLF outperforms the LS720P while the LS800p would is more in the league of the JBL it however doesn't sound as good as the JBL (though Yorkville will still bring a smile to your face). SPL wise they're in the same ball park, frequency wise the JBL goes 6hz deeper (39hz vs 45hz) but if weight is a factor the the Yorkville come in weighing less (62 lbs vs 81 lbs), you pick what's important to you & make your decision.

sound>weight. Maybe if I didn't hit the gym so often I would care about weight . In the long run I'm going to double up on subwoofers might as well get the best bang for the buck. +1 rep incog

I seRiouSLy doubt the XLF can hang with the Yorkville LS800P in terms of loud and booming bass. I would guess that as far as low-end extension and sub-like sound quality, the XLF probably goes lower and seems more musical with the bass tones.

I own the previous model (PRX 718s) and it rocks!!!

Hey OP, I have a source that can hook you up with the LS801p for about what you're looking to spend (upper end of your budget). It's a great subwoofer, lots of power, and really an amazing bang for your buck!! Send me a PM and we'll talk.
