[QUOTE="Phil Lewandowski, post: 74785, member: 44"] Re: SRX718 to 'what powered/active sub?' Unfortunately I got rid of my Growlers too soon as I was planning to directly measure (again) the SRX718 and Growler to hopefully put the "half-space/whole-space" thing to rest. When I did directly measure them back doing the distortion tests a couple years back with the same input voltage I got nearly identical sensitivities, which I took to mean either the SRX718 graph wasn't published in 1/2 space or the Growler sensitivity was a little lower than published (Which I didn't think was the case). I really wanted to send an identical signal through Smaart to them and measure them both one after the other without changing anything and see what Smaart came out with. All I can say is the SRX718's move a lot of air for their size and are still the best small value sub I've come across. For 90% of the weddings and bar gigs I do 2 of them stacked to one side is plenty with high energy top 40 dance music they do. (And adding a 3rd has covered all but 2 gigs in 4 years.) It does seem like this was settled above, but the VRX918 is the same sub as the SRX718, just powered. (JBL said that the only difference in the driver was that the 918 has a dual VC instead of a single to suit the power amp module better.) Take Care, Phil [/QUOTE]
