I posted this on another forum, but wanted to share my impressions with you all. Notice.......this is a SUBJECTIVE review.......my opinion, my car, my tune, my impressions. I took some measurements with REW and was going to post them, but a good friend reminded me that they would be somewhat useless to anyone else. The graph would be different in their set up, in their car, etc. So, it is subjective only....and I'm alright with that.
I was provided the opportunity to evaluate the performance of one of Illusion Audio's new subwoofers, and I would like to share my impressions with you.
First of all, here is the URL for the sub on the web:
Illusion Audio C12 Subwoofer
Packaging: Excellent job with this - feels 'High End'
This thing is Shallow! Next to a Cafe' Du Monde mug
So Let's get started...........
Equipment List:
Vehicle: 2013 Subaru BRZ
Source: Pioneer DEXP99RS
Supporting Speakers: Audison Thesis 3 way components; Ascendant Audio 12” IB
Amplifier: Mosconi AS100.4 – 2 channels bridged at 4ohm providing roughly 300 watts (for a short time, I ran it off of 2 channels bridged on the AS200.4 at a little over 600 watts).
Subwoofer mounting for the Illusion Audio (IA) C12: The speaker was mounted in a 0.86 cu ft sealed enclosure crafted by Mark Worrell.
Another installer I know stated that he has mounted it in enclosures ranging from 0.85 cu ft to 1.25 cu ft with good results.
