Wow. Way to go with the paid house, especially at your age. That would explain the extra flow for sub motors.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Yeah, the beers took me over last night. I should have put that down as a disclaimer so folks could ignore me. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif
Apologies to DJL - nothing personal man, please don't take what I said seriously.

I pretty much respect everyone's point of view, since folks have tested/used products that I have not. So if someone says brand X is better than brand Y, who am I to argue?

The surround stitching thing is real tho. Someone mentioned that another brand had stitching on some 80's models. This would make sense, especially if the cone was poly. We ran into surround issues with the old Energy 22 woofers when they first rolled out - we couldn't find a suitable glue that would hold the poly cone to the rubber surround. Sewing it was the only option.

Nowadays, adhesives have come far and this is no longer an issue (that I'm aware of), other than what I stated. Of course there is the aesthetic value to having a cone that is stitched, if done up properly, it could look quite appealing. Other than that, it is for the most part unnecessary.

So, now you know the background of my post. Just thought I would try to share some of my (old) experiences with you.

Best regards,

Mark

When you've been in this business as long as we have, over 20 years, you get a thick skin and don't let the little digs in life brother you. As far as glues and stiching goes I think we can hold our own in that area.

I do agree with you in that for the most part stiching is unnecessary when using good glue which we use but if stiching makes it even just a little better why not spend a few cents more and be sure.

As to what is necessary, I like to exceed that benchmark when I can.

I do appreciate you sharing your knowledge, and wish you the best of luck in your business. I haven't tested any of your products but from what I've heard and seen on the forums you are well on your way.

Certainly nothing wrong with that. The orient has provided that option at a price point that makes it feasible to do. Just don't put any of those painted baskets in your mouth ok?! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif
