Magico's First Subwoofers
Both subs feature pairs of high-excursion drivers (18" in diameter for the QSub-18 and 15" for the QSub-15), 6000 watts of onboard power, and an active digital crossover that can be bypassed. The cabinet of each sub includes a 2"-thick aluminum front baffle. The all-aluminum cabinet is said to very effectively address any warping of the enclosure created by the sub's huge output capabilities, doing this much better than MDF or resin-based materials. The cabinet also helps explain each model's weight: 570 pounds for the QSub-18 and 350 pounds for the QSub-15. Both subwoofers can be ordered in Magico's M-CAST range
of satin colors or the company's standard hard black anodized finish. |
