Description

The Earthquake Sound SLAPS-M12v2 is a tunable passive bass radiator that significantly increases subwoofer efficiency and ability for ultra-low frequency reproduction without additional amplifier power or enclosure volume. Designed to perfectly complement all good quality long throw woofers on the market, SLAPS add up to +6dB of bass compared to regular sealed and ported enclosures. The benefit of SLAPS being user-tunable is that they can be integrated into virtually any subwoofer/enclosure combination. SLAPS (Symmetrically Loaded Audio Passive System) overcomes the limitations known from the conventional sealed and ported enclosures that tend to limit excursion. As the name indicates, SLAPS is built symmetrically, distinguishing it from traditional or other inferior passive devices on the market today. SLAPS technology integrates a dual structure of identical opposites in its suspension design, resulting in identical properties in both the negative and positive pressure domain. The high efficiency and performance are a result of the pneumatic coupling between SLAPS and an active driver. The unique and patented design of SLAPS allows the active driver compression-free excursion, resulting in a deep, dynamic, and powerful bass response.

  • No more port noise
Style: 12-inch (v2)
I was given am old 12" MK powered sub, with a dead amp. After using it for a while , I really did not like the sound, is was not low enough. So I decide to retrofit the unit by removing the amp, closing the gap and slapping a 12" slap in its place. The result has been tremendous and strong clear bass, it has taken the sub to new levels. You can add weight to tune it to your liking by using washers and nuts. It has a very robust and strong thick rubber surround with a very respectable XMax. The unit is very nicely built, very robust and ready for low bass "abuse". ... show more

  • A nice passive radiator
Style: 12-inch (v2)
I own four of these now. Even talked a few friends into purchasing them as well. Good quality product. Still confused on the version. 12 V3 or the added V3 on the end. I must be blind. I didn't see any difference between the point or version 2 versus version 3. Maybe it's marketing? Maybe it's the manufacturing material but they are quality but I don't agree with the price of them at this time. But the price of everything else has gone up too. But back to the review. These don't appear to make any type of flapping noise they handle. All of the pork pressure frequencies a port would use, but instead they stroke their suspension in and out to create the base wave from that port instead. Thus, they're silent. If you're looking to do a sealed enclosure and it's too small, you might put one of these in there. I've done experiments from using the old Sunfire subwoofer with these to a good high quality car audio f or home audio subwoofer with these as well. Don't think you'll go wrong. Give him a try. They are much better than using ports. ... show more

  • Not enough mounting information. No easy to install.
Style: 8-inch
Sounds great. Paired with a Rockford Fosgate 8 inch subwoofer in a large boombox. Like the ability to tune with the washers. But, this requires a stepped hole to properly mount. This is not mentioned in the manual. Also the required cutout hole is different than what is stated.

  • Good but only modifications.
Style: 8-inch
Got 8inch to replace broken Bass Radiator. I had to spend over 1hr to do modifications. 1. 8 inch port did not fit, I had to re-sand opening. 2. Mount holes did not fit, I had to re-drill everything. After it was complete, it sounded great but again, a lot of work required.

  • Perfect Passive Subwoofer Replacement For Sunfire True Subwoofer Mark IV
Style: 10-inch (v2)
I've been searching for a replacement for the passive subwoofer since my stock one finally cracked from 25+ years of abuse/enjoyment. I read a post online from a Sunfire enthusiast and he had replaced his Mark II with this Earthquake Passive Subwoofer and it was a complete success. Let me tell you, when I installed it in my Mark IV, all I can say is WOW! It performed even better than the original stock passive subwoofer. I experienced some massive excursion and deep deep base on this Earthquake. Highly recommended if you have the same problem with a Sunfire True Subwoofer Mark II or IV. The bolt pattern on the Earthquake is a complete match for the Mark IV enclosure. When you receive the Earthquake, I would be careful to drill out the holes on the Earthquake because it comes with the holes covered by the subwoofer rubber. But once you tap those holes, it is an exact fit. I love the Earthquake so much I will buy another one to replace my second Mark IV since I have a dual subwoofer setup. ... show more

  • SlapsV2
Style: 12-inch (v2)
The media could not be loaded. This version feels more beefier than the V1 for some reason-so quality went up a notch. The cutout is slightly different than the v1 (smaller) so I had to make plates so they fit Over the original v1 hole. The specs (IN Detail) can be found only on the Earthquake EU website-and not the American one for some reason. No big deal. I have them in a 2.4cf box which puts it at 24hz (no mass). They are in the box pictured that housed my V1s. 4 total on 2 15s and WOW. They are loosening bolts all over the car. You may loose a db versus ported but the quality makes up the difference. Definitely worth it. I love the fact that I didn't need to make a box that took up the entire front and back my trunk for these lows. No EQ in the car but do have it on a crossover. Do it right and you'll love it. Make sure your sub has a Qts of .4 or below otherwise you may break something. ... show more

  • These work good but build quality/design is lacking.
Style: 12-inch (v2)
I have 2 12in slaps paired with 1 12in sub running around 1200-1500 watts in a properly designed enclosure for this setup. My initial impressions, I was amazed to achieve the output and sound quality I was able to achieve with these. Fast forward only two weeks and I start hearing what sounds like a loud interior panel rattling. After further inspection, I noticed one of the slaps has a crack on the front side, Starting right below where the weight is mounted internally. So I exchanged it through amazon return thinking i received a bad unit. Not even a week later another crack in roughly the same area. CONCLUSION: these do allow for big deep bass from a smaller sized enclosure but will only last if you’re using them on a low power system, maybe 1000watts max if you use two passives per driver, maybe 500 max if you use 1 passive per driver. ... show more

  • Took my existing dual 12" seal box down to 21 Hz
Style: 12-inch (v2)
I couldn't be happier with the performance gains after installing a pair of these SLAPS M12-V2 passive radiators in my dual 12" box. The 2 Skar SVR-12's are fed with 1,200 watts RMS at 2 Ohms, and sounded great before adding the M12's. Now they hit harder, just about as tight. Most of all, they go way lower, and produce a startling subsonic shock on kick drum bass. Using a tone generator, I have fun showing friends how my car starts to shake apart at 26 and 23 Hz. You can't hear the bass that low, but you can sure feel it! I added a 290g disc of stainless steel to each passive radiator, which tuned my box to about 21 Hz, and used red loctite on the double nuts. ... show more
