What iv found is the bass is more controled and has more linear, sound,slight more quality. A Fane XB600 on Steroids. 
 
Compared to the PD186 which just chucks buckets loads of bass at you and sound that bit sweeter on the bottom end. i will be interesting the new PD186 driver coming soon. which will have improved cooling and plating issues .
 
Overall the XB1000 can take masses of power , yet it remains sensible. Abit Pricey on the whole.
 
id give it 7.5/10

So Champion, does the Fane 18-1000 come close to/ better than the turbomaxx 1000i in your opinion?

It no way near the Turbomax, it keeps its classic XB sound but having more power handling and better dottom end. Should be interesting in narrow or small chamber scoops, i.e Super scooper. The new Fanes also have a Xmax of 12.75mm compared to the 600XB which has 7.2mm !
 
Still testing

Marvin i have tested and heard the Celestion FTR 18" driver, they are not as good as the Fane ones.  I can do the New Fane 1000's at a good price.

Just to let everyone know..Fane have developed a NEW 1200 version, which is in the same leauge as PD.1850, Void vs.1200 /1000, Turbomax 1200......From what iv heard it out performs the PD.1850 in quality and power.
 
I shall have them next...best part is they cost now where near the 1850, void and turbomax.
 
And to set the record straight it is not a rip off design of the turbomax technology.
 
At a first glance alot of peolples thoughts about the Fane 1000 driver is a copy of the Turbomax 900. But its not in the same group as them.
 
Lev this should be interesting...!!!   Get your mini ice-creams ready

If it's approx same depth as 1850, and similiar parms to 18B, I'll know Mark took what I said to him seriously. Wink

Fane seems to be spitting them out quickly ummm. I have one here myself but haven't gotten around to testing it though. Cooling seems very similar to turbo but need to put some signal through it and see what its saying.
