Made a delivery of a pair of Mariana 24SR subs in black maple right before Christmas. The matching in-wall speakers had a very effective and sweet sounding surround effect, which should get even better with the soon to be added Atmos ceiling speakers. The customer's goal for these subs was accurate, deep bass and measurements show the Mariana 24SR subs don't start dropping until 7 Hz in-room, which is common for all Mariana 24s I've tested in various rooms. Mission accomplished!

So the regular 24" driver I use is on the left and now there is an even beefier driver on the right.  I thought the original 24" driver was big and it is at 90 lbs.  But the beefier driver with larger voice coil and magnet/motor is absolutely a beast at 145 lbs.  I will soon be testing the beefier driver to see how it might fit into the product line.

The neighborhood decided to have movie night last night and the last time they had it they rented a pair of speakers. I put in that I'd bring the stereo system last night. Did an inventory of the cost between speakers, subs, electronics, and cables and realized I brought over $15000 of equipment down (MSRP). The projector and screen were provided by another resident.

We watched Jurassic World and while some complained it might have been too loud, most enjoyed it. I asked the kids if it was too loud and in unison they said no. :)  We didn't have much of a turn out as it started in the low 50s and dropped low 40s by the end of the movie. The bass was strong in my house about 3 houses up from the cul-de-sac and a neighbor 5 houses up said it was clear in his house too. Fun time but a lot of work to move and setup all of the equipment.

Here are a couple pictures of the Mariana 24SR with side table option that I will be taking to T.H.E. Show Newport in Irvine, CA (LA). Hope some of you in the area will come by and give it a listen in room 413...and say hi to us.

Less than a month until T.H.E. SHOW Newport in Irvine, CA, which is held May 29-31. If you're in that region of the country, you should attend the show as it will be amazing. And definitely stop by room 413 to say hi and experience the best home theater subwoofer on the market.

We had a great time at Axpona 2015. We met a lot of great people and received tremendous feedback and energy about our new subwoofers.

There were a few different reactions of people when they came into the room and saw the 24" subs. My favorite was #3.

• Incredulous - I was watching one guy and he had his jaw dropped the whole time he was watching a demo clip. I loved it.
• Ridiculous - This is close to incredulous but these people were just laughing and smiling at each other at the craziness that is a 24" subwoofer.
• Crime against nature - Axpona doesn't have a lot of home theater exhibitors and so many attendees started to come in and realized it was home theater and turned right around. But there were some that came in, had this look of disgust on their face and then left quickly. It was hilarious.

The Deep Sea Sound Mariana 24SR subwoofer playing the Skyfall subway train crash scene.  Volume was about 5 db under reference.  This video may lead some to think those are subwoofer motor noises but there was none to be heard, that is just the phone microphone not being able to handle the loud dynamics of the speakers and subwoofers playing in the room.  This home theater had a pair of Mariana 24SR subwoofers and the effect was incredibly impressive living up to my goals of delivering clean, deep, articulate, and loud subwoofers.

First room with a pair of the Deep Sea Sound Mariana 24SR subwoofers.

Looks like we have plenty of subs and amps ready to build you an outstanding subwoofer.
