Well, its not like there isnt 2938298392 other baskets that china makes, so why use an old design? Maybe no one sees my logic but id want to distance a NEW sub as much as possible from a failed company like TC.....but again, maybe thats just me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

Well, why don't you build subs, with new designed baskets?

Im glad that cleared up my questions.

There aren't that many 18" baskets...

We've have the rights of two of them, the 6 spoke eclipse and 12 spoke frames..

Only ones that are really openly tooled and worth their salt is the Venezuela 6 spoke design. Even with that said it still doesn't have the clearance the 12 spoke does...and the others that are openly tooled and available are not anywhere near as structurally sound as the die cast eclipse basket or the 12 spoke...simply can't support the weight of larger ferrite motors...

After looking at it again to be honest I think I love it. I dont really mind the SMD logo either, Im not a nut hugger but more power to meade, I sure wouldnt mind having my name on it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

here is something scott posted on the SSA forums - i just read it:-----------------

No, we have nothing to do with TC or Audiopulse. My understanding is that TC and Audiopulse are both owned by the same people and that TC doesnt operate in the same capacity it used to. I had purchased the patent and rights to the 6 spoke versions of that basket at auction a few months back and will be using it solely for AA and one other OEM company we build for. We are currently tooling a 6 spoke version of a 10" and 12" as well to fall under our patent. The previous 10" and 12" are under a separate patent for 4 spokes. We had no interest in purchasing that one as we feel that the 6 spoke is far stronger for the larger applications that we will use it for.

In regards to the new SMD Series sub for AA there are a couple of changes being made for production. The main two are the suspension integration and the magnets. While the OD will be the same size, they are actually 6mm taller per magnet (gaining almost 1/2" more height for the pair). Also, the magnet boot has been tooled for this double stack vs the current shorter stack.

The design itself is a natural progression of what we have learned with the BTL and Mayhems. While it does not vastly improve on overall excursion, we have seen that to be far less a concern than increased thermal ability and mechanical power handling. Overall just a tougher package.

Now back to SEMA and dealers

Thanks,

Scott

Yeah thats right. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Steve let me know when you need my address for the 6 free ones you are sending me //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/redface.gif.62fdbfe1a101588a808c4cff71bcb942.gif

I'm glad Scott got a hold of that basket. Say what you like about it, I think it is one of the better long-throw baskets available, and the big limitation in the past was that it was patented by TC (and violated by those overseas). I think it gives Scott some more wiggle room in terms of what kind of drivers they can design...less limitations than the 12 spoke.

Naming a subwoofer after someone is a little silly, unless it was someone important. Either way, I only wish the best for Nick and Scott. The quality of the product won't be debateable, and if it puts money in their pockets, I'm glad to hear it.

Dustcap logo was the first problem now the basket lol. I don't care what people say about it, The sub look tougher and the basket will allow long-throw to the 4" Coil.

Steve, lmk if there's any pre-order pricing. I'll need a pair of 15" at least. Hopefully this time Scott get back to my emails.
