Is it ever loud enough?
To begin with...

I was going to compete USACi street beat this year, but then I enlisted.

The original scheduled ship date was in August.

So I sold what equipment I did have... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

They pushed it to the end of this year possibly early next year due to the program that I am in.

So... I decided to splurge. One of the main reasons why I wanted to try this... I was told that this sub would make the 18" ssx's and 9500's look bad.

I plan on doing a comparison vs a 18" treo ssx that a dealer/friend of mine has and am gonna see about a buddy of mine that has a 9518.

Testing would be done on a TL with similar power and on 30 secs of music.

(no expert by any means... but I just felt like doing it.) //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

SO YEAH....

Came in yesterday.

I was gonna wait until I got my amp. Which I am pretty sure you guys would be interested to see. (it's a small footprint with a good amount of output. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif )

okay well... time for pics. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif:yumyum://content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif

Thanks Egg for putting up with me and for being so fast at getting them to me. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

The box for this is 8 cubes tuned to 30 Hz. Double baffled. Slot ported. and braced with 1/4" all thread on x and y planes.

Before you say it... yes i am sure it will take 8 cubes fine. I talked to the man who developed these for over an hour. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Some pics of the box before it was finished (testing the fit //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif )

First impressions...

-It is only a 2 spider setup. However, the spiders are very stiff. Good luck moving the cone very much it with just a few fingers and some decent pressure.

-I need to see what the coils sit at but it is a D2 sub and speaking to the engineer about for so long I was told that they sit at around 1.8 and typically in a 7 cube net box the rise isn't past 1 ohm too much.

-This is a beastly sub... makes my last sub (18" Treo SSX) look small... which isn't an easy thing to do for a nearly 50 lbs speaker.
