I'm biased towards the old CV Strokers. Nothing afterwards

The new stuff would probably get loud no doubt, however the old Strokers could be used for SQ and SPL. Heard these in 15" form in Angelo Kanci's BMW and powered off SS Reference amps with AP membranes in the enclosure... UN-BE-LIEVABLE!!!

Accept NO substitutes :p

A decent guy / dealer on TA is selling new ones for £200 each

I would like the new ones better if they would even glue a fake nipple on the cone

So you are a fake nipple lover then???

I just got myself a old CV18D4
It´s an awesome piece of car audio and i really wouldn´t go for a new one. Not even if i get it as a gift

I once ran against a guy in a similar car to mine. He had his 15" Stroker Pro and claimed 3000 watts (from what amp I don't know). He only managed high 140's. I was using my DD 3515 with 2 M1a's strapped pushing 2786wrms (clamped/metered) and got mid 150's.

New Stroker Pro's are crap.

I also beat an 18" SoloBaric that was in like 7 cubes in a Montero with something around 4-5k wrms (claimed). He barely made 145. I think people need help with installs, but maybe it's just the product sucks that bad?

I hardly believe they are crap, I guess that most problems lie within owner/builder. Install vs install may vary lots of db, even though all components are the same...

It's not all about SPL though is it.

The Stroker Pros certainly aren't about SQ, that's for damn sure.

-EDIT-
A note that I thought was rather funny is that my DD 3515 is actually built more for SQ than SPL, yet look how it does on the mic compared to purpose-built SPL subs.

In my opinion, the new Stroker Pro's are crap; get Digital Designs for a similar price and be WAY happier!

Old Strokers? I'd kill for them.

My old Strokers will never do the SQ either, that is for sure...
