== Comparing Power Stands to Subs ==

=== L1 Pro8 Power Stand compared to Sub1 ====

=== L1 Pro8 Power Stand compared to Sub1 ===

Both use the 7"x13" Racetrack transducer

Line 167:

The L1 Pro8 goes down to 45 Hz (-3 dB). The Sub1 goes down to 40 Hz (-3 dB).

=== L1 Pro16 Power Stand compared to Sub2 ====

=== L1 Pro16 Power Stand compared to Sub2 ===

Both use the 10"x18" Racetrack transducer

Line 176:

The L1 Pro16 bass amp is 1000 watts RMS. The Sub2 is 1000 watts RMS.

The L1 Pro16 is 118 dB SPL continuous. The Sub2 is ~~122~~ dB SPL continuous.

The L1 Pro16 is 118 dB SPL continuous. The Sub2 is 123 dB SPL continuous.

The L1 Pro16 goes down to 42 Hz (-3 dB). The Sub2 goes down to 37 Hz (-3 dB).

The L1 Pro16 goes down to 42 Hz (-3 dB). The Sub2 goes down to 37 Hz (-3 dB). The difference is due to the larger physical volume of the Sub2 enclosure.

=== Two Sub1s or Sub2 ===

Two Sub1s have approximately the same membrane surface area (180 square inches).

=== Questions about this article ===

The power difference is negligible (960 watts RMS compared to 1000 watts RMS).

Two Sub1s tightly coupled (stacked or side-by-side) should provide up to +6 dB over a single Sub1 (118 + 6 = 124). The Sub 2 is 123 dB SPL. The difference is negligible.

The Sub1 goes down to 40 Hz. The Sub2 goes down to 37 Hz (-3 dB). The difference is due to the larger physical volume of the Sub2 enclosure. Running two Sub1s does not change the frequency response.
