I hope Meade got his posted, here's mine

which is why I am obsessed with making vids even though the system isnt ready yet and the camera sucks... cuz over the years I have listened to bullshit like this thread over and over, and now I have done it, and I am right. Unfortunately I can't prove it with the camera, I'll have to TL/mic it when I get the kinks out.
Fact is, you are wrong. I know what the sub was designed for. that doesn't matter. It does what I expected. It does what I wanted it to.

It has a normal 3" voicecoil. The only reason it's not rated for that power is because it is tested free air. I have emails from Scott himself, not that I needed them. I know better than to think a "free air sub" can't handle power though it has the same parts as other woofers very much like it. It doesn't have a magical "free air" cone on it.
psssssssssst little hint:

i work for Fi.

You would have been much better off going with another woofer. I do not want to condone using an IB woofer in an enclosure. Nor do I want people to think that they can do it and expect good results. That's why we have the other lines specifically designed for the car audio scenario. This is the exact polar opposite of what I want people to think they can do with the speakers.

That sub is made for a house, or an IB install for a car. That's it. That is what it is optimized for.

Edit: Will it work in a car in a box? Sure! Will it work free air? Sure! Will it work if you put a hole in the roof of the car? Sure! Will it work in a sealed box that the motor sits on the back of it? Sure!

Is it optimal? No...not in any way, shape, or form. Is it optimal. You can buy a Lamborghini and take it and stick it in a mud hole. It's not designed for it, but if you've got enough money to do it...then you assuredly can.

There's the difference.

Regards,

This is what happens when you don't accept Christ into your life. I think "Stang" designs subs or something like that right? Didn't AA design a sub for Meade?

 
Let us know when you decide to get creative.
