Just gauging some interests here before goin all out...

http://www.criticalmassaudio.com/sssubs.html

Those that know or have heard these subs know their performance and will Not be dissapointed. Excelent quality products that perform better than they look. Backed by a company with stellar support. A few locals here have had the chance to own/use/play with em and never left em displeased.

Discuss..

 

Ewwww they look ugly!

 

Now did I say that out loaud about your car? No, I kept it to myself !

 

 

that critical mass UL 12 sub sure looks nice...

...the $2000 price tag doesn't

 

Ouch.......

that was teh funny

 

and you are teh ugly

 

C-mass SS82 -

Great sub, gets low and stays accurate with all kinds of music. Not recommended free-air but I used mine that way anyways and they sounded EXCELLENT. I am contemplating another pair.

Anyways, they may not look nice in pics, but in person they are VERY well built and logically built at that. The VC is vented and allows excellent cooling. The cone material is something I've never seen before. It's definately a sweet design. Much more impressive in person -

You can see one of the vents on the basket for the coil here:



the pole is vented as well



super stiff and solid cone



Now this sub is rated at 500rms in an enclosure. I had 550 rms running to each one IB, my guess is that they could easily take 750 - 1000 rms each in 8" trim and do it without a problem in an enclosure of course ONLY if you know what you are doing and how to properly manage/set gains....



Don, I might be willing to step back into them or into possibly a 12", any idea on a pair of the 8's or one 12" gd price?

 

beefy @ss subs, with a good reputation, cant go wrong!

 

So whats the dilly? I know you fockers need/want some subs...

 

Still not as hurt looking as you or your car

 

With the big holes in the bumper !

 

maybe the dustcap design is making people turn away?

 

I suppose its possible. What happened to function over form though?

 

i'm not fond of the cone myself...me likey the plain lookin cones.

people are going to show their system off somehow, guess they want something less..."out there?"

how do they sound anyhow? don't think i've heard of a critical mass perform before...

 

What pricing are we looking at??

 

For their price even at full SRP theyre quite hard to beat. Very musical with sufficent output. Of course the UL12 on the other hand is ... ZomG !

 

That would depend on interest.

 

What big holes in the bumper?



You have failed done!!

 

You must be blind but theres 4 big *** holes in your bumper.

 

He knows but hes stuck in a river in Egypt.

 

How do they compare to, say, ED?

 

lol, nvm

........

 

eD and their subs are no where near these C-mass subs. After a recent conversation I had in regards to how they handle their customers, including people who compete with their products, I will never ever give a dime to eD.

 

Well that's valid reasoning. I've been out of the car audio loop for a few years now and "the new hotness" in car audio seems to change quickly. One brand can be the rage for a year or two and then there will inevitably be something else to take its place. Add to that the fact that any company's quality and/or CS can take a nosedive, and it makes things very confusing if you don't keep up with it.

I hadn't even heard of Critical Mass subs until I stumbled upon this thread!
