[QUOTE="recon440, post: 8734055, member: 636364"] I've looking at getting a pair of heavy duty 12s and ones that caught my eye were the Resilient Sound Platinum 12s. From a technical standpoint it has quite the attractive package in terms of power handling, huge BL and the inclusion of a shorting ring. Physically, I also like the inclusion of what appears to be a collar on the triple joint and bolted-down spiders but my main concern is the usage of spacers on the motor (10mm from the look of it). [ATTACH type="full" width="485px" alt="Capture.PNG"]26575[/ATTACH] I understand that the inclusion of spacers should improve cooling but my worry is that it seems quite fragile. I am guessing the motor assembly weighs about 50+lbs and it seems like a high-stress point when the woofers are mounted vertically (as most people do). With such a large weight, if the box is to be jarred or dropped it would be an immense amount of force applied through the spacers into the frame and I could foresee the frame cracking. Even when statically sitting there, mounted vertically, it seems like it's suboptimal. I'm purely speculating as this is the first time seeing such a large motor hung off such spacers. Does anybody have any opinion on this or am I just wrongly speculating? Lastly, although not to derail the topic too much: -Does anybody have any opinions on the basket used (or what this styled is commonly named, 4-spoke "ribbed??")? Are there any advantages/disadvantages to this type over the "Ti" basket which many woofers are using. -Any other points of concern regarding this specific woofer (physical or in terms of performance). Thanks. [/QUOTE]
