Agreed,it is pretty bad!! I wonder why the 21SW150 was updated so quickly? Were there reliability issues does anyone know?

Barry on here (BP) has a load of 21's and a load of 2 x 18's. No comparison, the 21's just sit and growl/rumble. The 2x18's do it all. Both cabs are refex, Cray 21, Opus 2 x18. 21's are PD, 18's Beyma G40.
2 x 18 all the way. 21's as an added extra to 18's or 15's maybe...

This is what I would have thought but apparently the B&C 21's are much punchier than the old PD's..

If you go for 21" then you've got the added bonus of the "look at the size of that badboy" factor! Everybody has thought about it, but I think the fact is that
2x18" will play very low anyway, a lot higher and be more punchey, I don't think theres much comparison.

I would imagine in an install, 4x 1x21" reflex cabs, would be slight upgrade on 4x 1x18 cabs reflex.
Would be very interesting hearing 2x 4ohm 21s per side of a VZ5, in 2ohm stereo. |

its not allways about how bug it is but how you use it, f121 anyone? bit off topic from a ported perspective but wth neo magnets geting stronger a 21" doesnt necisarily have to be slow and earth rumbling if implimented right. with the right 21" tuned right you aught to be able to design a cab with the same f3 with lower group delay if the rest of the T/s are up to it or am i missing something vital?

You're a big man, but you're in bad shape. With me it's a full time job. Now behave yourself.

That's what I would have thought.Modern 21's with neo motors and lighter cones are much better than the early ones and with a monster modern amp they should be able to punch as well as 18's.By the looks of things,all you loose out on is SPL compared to 2x18's
Not getting into the F121 discussion as that's been done to death but there's no shortage of speed (or spl)from that box!
Have been looking into this as i'm about to build some new subs.As far as cost goes,a 1x21 is roughly the same as a 2x18. Still undecided tho
