Im making ludacris assumptions? What facts are you basing your knowledge of my experience on? *laff* Ive owned Image Dynamics drivers since before you knew the company existed.
Your continual regurgitation of the arguement 'it blew with rated power' when people try to discuss slightly more complex topics like efficiency just tell me you really have no idea what you are talking about. You made the comment what good is efficiency if the driver wont handle rated power... again speaking when you should be reading and learning. For example, read up on Hoffman's Iron Law, maybe you'll figure out what efficiency can and cannot do for a speaker. For another example, if you truely understand even the fundamentals of how a speaker creates sound as an electromagnetic transducer, you would understand it doesn't matter if the driver reaches full potential at 1000 watts, 1 million watts, or 1 watt. Oh Im sure you thnk you understand, and probably fundamentally you understand what Im talking about here... but you cannot seem to apply that logic to this situation. Keep trying, we'll wait.
Also, where have you even told us how the speaker 'blew'? For all we know, your moronic *** built the wrong box and 'blew' it mechanically. Or let the sub unload, or ran the bassboost and would never admit it now, etc etc.
Secondly, omfg you just might have gotten one defective driver! *gasp* You even said so yourself. Lets not have a heart attack jumping to conclusions (or as you put it, ludacris assumptions). It happens.
Lastly, to be frank, Im not at all confident you really know enough to set your gains properly, using a DMM or not. Im not about to make the ludacris assumption you have a clue. Whine and snivel your sub died all you want, the IDMax has lasted the test of time. Im sorry yours didn't last the test of your intelligence. Luckily your new XXX is so inefficient, it has one huge idiot-buffer. Now run along and make a post telling everyone how superior your sub is due to power handling.
