imma genius. so **** it!
the weak triple joint actually has very little to do with the cone being flat...the sub looks sexy as hell...but Id be nervous sending any sort of really serious power through a flat cone...
the joint weakness has been shown many times...
hell, I like ed, but I wouldnt trust that sub with serious power on it.. hell, Ben even said itd make a nice "conversation piece" lol
the flat cones were weak themselves. look at the first revision of the eduh flat cones, they came back with a metal plate behind the cone for rigidity, due to nearly all of the original cones being broken either during play or in shipping. the honeycomb nomex material was strong, but when applied to a flat piston type application it oculdnt stand up to the forces.
eduh is notorious for breaking themselves, lying to the public, stealing, hiding the truth (like their absurdly high failure rates), and also coming out with horrible ideas that they think are great (like making a woofer with a magnet so big it has to be inverse mounted //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif )
