July 28, 2007

AUSTIN, Texas — Booming with a 3200-watt peak power output, the new SP FH folded-horn subwoofer from Peavey is engineered for the most demanding low-frequency sound-reinforcement applications.

The Peavey SP-FH will be available Q4 2007 from authorized Peavey retailers.

Ditto for the 30hz part (maybe eight in a corner).

I'm familiar with Peavey drivers, they are tight but you need a load of them to get the presure of pair of Eighteensound's. I've got rid of SP series rather fast

The box in question uses the LowRider 18, a very different animal.

When you get a degree in marketing you are allowed to change the laws of physics by a factor of 10 (either 1:10 or 10:1 as suits your needs).

 
MODEL MX-F18B
GENERAL INFO
System type 2x 18” Folded Horn subwoofer
Frequency response +/- 3db 30-300Hz
Sensitivity (db 1w@1m) 106dB
System impedance 4 ohms / 8 ohms Switchable
System FB 30Hz
Maximum SPL Peak dB 141dB
I have no idea where the second 18 is, nor how it could be either 4 or 8 ohms, nor how less than eight boxes in the corner could be only 3dB down at 30hz, and it would have to be fed with in excess of 3KW (with no woofer compression) to hit 141dB.
