No stroker

 

well as for the Tru sub it was never the stroker 2...it was designed by John Fairchild who used to work at Cerwin Vega (not sure if he did anything on the original stroker though) and now works for Tru...he took the idea to CV, they turned it down and so Tru started to build it...why did they turn it down? who knows, maybe they already had this woofer designed and it was a sweet woofer. or maybe they realised that they would make NO money on Johns design since the original stroker used REALLY cheap parts and was good so it sold for alot and Johns design uses REALLY expensive parts so if they wanted to make the same type of markup on it then they will have to charge a rediculous amount for it and if they did that none would sell. Either way I have been hearing myths about this new stroker for the last 3 years so hopefully this time they are actually telling the truth rather then just saying it is coming out and then not delivering as usual

 

Personally, I got the impression he meant cheap as in inexpensive, not crappy. (mainly because he said it was a good sub)

 

Stroker II, sweet

(mainly because he said it was a good sub) </font>[/QUOTE]yeah they were made from inexpensive parts...look at the motor, only one magnet, small top plate, not a huge amount of detailed machining on the back plate, cheap spiders, cheap cone...but put all that together and it made one heck of a good woofer, I don't deny that! I would love to get my hands on a pair of dual 2ohm 12" strokers they wer sweet!

Haha, you were the one that said they were Dual 2 ohm at first. You just quoted yourself as someone else.

As far as cheap materials used, why would it be cheap materials? It's just a different process in manufacturing the sub. Paper isn't a "cheap" material in terms of when it has to be processed in to the shape of a speaker cone, one that is tougher than poly. Hey if it was inexpensive, that's great.

Single stack magnet is cheap? Who cares? lol Seriously, I've begun to believe that a double/triple stack magnet hasn't got much ado with the performance of the sub. Big magnets lose deep bass and are less efficient. Mmmmm stroker deep.

I have an SVC 15 still around, but no-one can have it.
