I think the combination of SH46 and Skram is just simply a great pairing sound and power wise. The horn loaded upper bandwidth of the Skram really compliments the sound character of the SH46, together they sound very clean with well defined impact, some would describe it as having "fast bass". For an example, If there is a genre of music that I've heard sound shit on a lot of sound systems, its psytrance. Something about those fast upper bass notes just seem to show the warts on many sound systems. The Sh46 Skram combo sounds better on psytrance than anything else I've ever heard, F1, Void, Turbo etc etc. On top of that, one of my biggest rental clients is a long standing local crew that specializes in bass music, dubstep, drum and bass etc. They like the Skrams so much they are now building their own. For reference, this same crew was previously a heavy renter of PK sound, which some people say is the yard stick for bass music subwoofer's. So yeah, the Skram is an exceptionally flexible cabinet, it really can do all the things well.
To your original question, I would add that when my 6 Skram's start touching limiting, the Sh46's still have a few db of headroom to go. Personally I'd say the appropriate sub to sh46 ratio would be 6 to 7 skrams per pair of sh46. I've got another pair of SH46 on the way, with a couple more Skrams in the cnc cue, if I have another successful summer next year maybe Ill cut up another 4.
Th118 vs Skram, I think Josh would be a better person to answer that one... they must be fairly close in output overall, but I'm just speculating
Hey Jay,
I was wondering if your CNC guy would be interested in cutting another 8 of these cabs? I have Tannoy VQ60 boxes (2 active, 3 passive...138 dB, 144 dB) and am looking for some stands for them, lol! I'm not in the SR biz, but was considering renting some of this gear out locally as I won't be building the big shop that will be getting some of this stuff for awhile.
I'm a little south of you in Montana...my mom (RIP 4.20.20) was born in Edmonton and most of my family still lives in AB and BC to this day. I get up to within 50 miles of AB every couple months and could detour north for the right reasons. 😁
