{{Comparing L1 Pro Power Stands to Subs}}
 
=== L1 Pro8 Power Stand compared to Sub1 ===
Both use the 7"x13" Racetrack transducer
 
The L1 Pro8 base is 31 pounds. The Sub1 is 35.5.
 
The L1 Pro8 base is slightly smaller than the Sub1.
 
The L1 Pro8 bass amp is 240 watts RMS. The Sub1 is 480 watts RMS.
 
The L1 Pro8 is 112 dB SPL continuous. The Sub1 is 118 dB SPL continuous.
 
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 ===
Both use the 10"x18" Racetrack transducer
 
The L1 Pro16 base is 41.4 pounds. The Sub2 is 52.
 
The L1 Pro16 base is slightly smaller than the Sub2.
 
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 123 dB SPL continuous.
 
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).
 
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.
