NAFTA doesn't mean much either way, I realize this regularly when I try and bring $700k worth of measurement gear accross the border, it really isn't fun and even though I don't ever leave it there my company has still had to pay import tariffs.
I really can't believe that you guys are having a hard time with this. Mark & Aaron could easily sell the drivers for twice the amount they are and upcharge on the shipping. These are an incredible deal and an outstanding value with absurdly cheap shipping, I know for a fact neither one of them are really gaining anything financially from this and yet in this thread I get the idea that people are complaining about the price. You all need to grow up and realize that in business this isn't how it works and both of these guys and SSA are doing you a favor.

To put things in perspective for most companies a profit margin of 40% is barely acceptable, in their cases it isn't even a percentage of that. If I were you all, I'd hurry up and buy before this dream disappears.

we aren't complaining we just expected it to be less to the dor

i wish ssa and mach5 would up their prices about 50%. Thats where the product belongs and if it would have started there people would be beatin the doors down to get them at the current prices.

and to this quote "we aren't complaining we just expected it to be less to the dor" if saying you expect the price to be less over and over isn't complaining, what is it?

I wish. NAFTA means nothing if the product is produced offshore. This goes for both sides of the border.

Really, that blows. I guess for businesses, it gets more complicated. I've shipped stuff to Canada before without having to deal with duty fees, but it was a personal transaction and we could mess with the "declared value" to avoid extra charges.

wow just got the 15" in yesterday. i love it. im just afraid i might blow it. im running it with a planet audio tt850d (600 watt rms max at 2 ohm) should i be worried about blowing it or can i turn the bass boost up and gain up alittle higher, gain is at about 3/5 and boost is at like 3/4

Perhaps start a new thread so folks know you're on to a different topic. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

set the gains with a DMM to 600 watts. If you want to use a bass boost, which isnt typically recommended, then set the gains and boost using the tone of you boost(probably 45 or 50hz) and a DMM

Try looking around a little. There's a sticky with a gain setting tutorial at the top of the Amplifiers section. Not too difficult to find.
