While we're at it, anybody have experience with the $40 SBA option?
From Ohm website:
The SubBass Activator is an electrical circuit which extends the deepest bass when the music calls for it, reduces the distortion for cleaner sound, increases the dynamic range for greater impact, and uses a self-resetting protection circuit to reduce the chance of damaging the speakers.
Is it just an in-line capacitor arrangement? Do others use something similar?
I upgraded my Ohm I subwoofers with replacements from Ohm, they included the SBA option. I can tell you the bass is tight, no complaints. Because I swapped old woofers for new including the SBA I Can't really compare just the woofers with and without SBA.
I am happy with Ohm and their support, I can understand that as long as they are supporting these ancient speakers they are hesitant to share schematics and sell individual parts. The 12 inch woofers were around $200 each (including mentioned SBA), not sure I could buy aftermarket woofers for that price that can handle 1000 watts.
