I walked in to the local memphis audio dealer today, and on the shelf were two subwoofers with pot leaves on the cones. They are  from a company known as chronic audio, they make several lines of subs including a 15" 4000w sub, Anyone hear of these? They have a website WWW.CHRONICAUDIO.COM. They looked cool but I still bought the memphis subs.

Looks interesting, not a whole lot of specs on the speakers, i'm curious if any installers have used/heard them looks like higher end stuff though, deffinatly interested in see how this one turns out.

I know a little about Chronic Audio, I am an ex-shop owner.  I have met the owner many years ago as he was a representative of a few lines in the industry.  I still keep in touch with the owner and expressed my opinion about the leaf logo.  My opinion put a sticker in the box or something not every one wants to open there trunk and flash the green or you might have a hard time convincing mom the subs are really great subs.  Anyway,  he took my advice and the VALUE SERIES no longer has the "LEAF" logo.  His take on the theme of the line is simple, he wanted to grab some attention and he did.  Put the leaf logo aside and read his mission statement for this line.  When you get a chance, go listen to these speakers, pick one up and take a close look at it and compare it to others. 

VALUE SERIES - Have not heard them but was told that they don't break, very good product for entry level speaker.   Ask your dealer to play them.

PROFESSIONAL - Your getting into a very good product becuase this is a US Manufactured sub that had designed many other fine speakers over the past 50 years. (YES, they were rockin hard back then.)  If you want to drive a pair of subs with a 400-500 watt 4ohm mono load on a pair of dual voice coils these are great becuase you don't have the expense of larger amps,wire,caps, etc...

COMP - This is my favorite line because of the upgraded motor structure. (Tinsel leads are woven into spider so they won't snap like other speakers)  If you are realy into banging and I mean banging these subs are designed to stay smooth and handle plenty of power.  VERY VERY NICE

SPL - I will tell you one thing this is a true winner for SPL period.  This product is the creme of the crop(no pun intended).  Non other compares as I have carried all Hi-End manufactures products and the owner has spared no mercy wtih this sub.  I dare you to compare this sub side by side to any other sub available and I mean that.

I have never heard of them and probably for good reason (lol). Glad you went with the memphis subs, they are great and won't let you down!

I dont know about thier speakers and such but I have used some of thier Platnum RCA cables before and I think they rank up there with some of the better ones. Thanks for the LINK Anthony

I just checked out the site. Those are some pretty high prices on those SPL subs. Did I read correctly that they have QUAD 2 ohm coils? These could only be wired in series for most amps right?

After going to get a new memphis amp for my new subs I thaught I would hear the chronic audio subs since they are so arguable. The guy walked me out to the parking lot to a hatchback car with a giant weed leaf on the back of it and inside were four fifteen inch subs. they were right behind the driver and ported between the two front seats. after talkinfg for a while he turned on the subs to a snoop dogg song and DAMMN!!! I heard car alarms go off for two blocks around us, the subs were so loud that they hurt my chest even standing three feet from the car and I had to stand back even further away. I would say they have some damn good excursion to. I might have to look into some of these subs in the future.

Go to kindergarten a$$hole and learn how to spell. I have competed in every major competition except the Eurasia and i have never even seen those there. I agree with auex on what he said, and by the way, i bet that 24 1/2 '' subwoofer (notice how i spelled it right), couldn't even stand to a JBL GTI 15'' . Get some help, any one in this forum could tell you that you need it.

It looks like you missed a word in your sig. Shouldn't it read " I just love watching crap explode"?

lol @ heavilymedicate
and
lol @ this whole second page

i dont think anyone should judge the speakers, even if they do have a gimmick, before actually hearing them.

i just finished looking at their lineup of subs, and the subs dont impress me a great deal, the pot leaf doesnt really stick out like its an eye-sore, just another damn logo. the way they setup the list of 'features' for each series, kind of left me hanging. they really dont show very many specs for any sub on there. and their SPL series is only rated with a 4000watt burst? im assuming that is equal to Max, which really doesnt say anything tbh. i'd look at these guys with a skeptical eye until i actually hear them, otherwise just another company trying to sell something.
