Partheon or whatever???

I thought it was carbon-fiber coated balsa???(balsa-strongest/lightest)

I don't think it will play up that high flat. It does have a decent inductance due to the two sets of coils. It's pretty much good for about 70 Hz and down. But the down part is the impressive part as it will play frequencies that will make other subs cry.


First of all the designers of that sub are far from idiots. They thought the design through very thoroughly, enough to not use a 1" MDF sheet for the cone. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif Instead they used a 1/4" thick piece of aerospace composite that was very expensive. For those who have held it, they know it is very light but very strong.

Whoa, whoa, wait. I thought the whole point was you send the driver, the buyer attaches their own cone, and that's that. This was my entire assumption about Partheons. To me, talking about how you "can attach up to a 48x48.." meant you could change the size of the cone at will. Therefore, you send out the driver with a sheet of 24"^2 material, owner thinks "Let's go bigger!" and buys MDF for a new driver, and has a 70 pound cone. Okay, this really clears things up. I was told 200 and UP, not the other way around. Gah, who needs to go that high anyway, I'd be uber-happy having it play 50hz and down. Sorry if you thought I called you an idiot. I meant no such thing, I just have trouble putting what I want to say in type.

Kudos for being understanding.

EDIT: Just to mention, I changed my name from Scarenius to Raven. My own reasons. Sorry for the mixup.
