Phil,
You are simply upset that you aren't building boxes for Paul anymore and that he decided to trade those 21s in to me instead of sell them to you... go chill out before you make yourself look silly AGAIN like you did in my for sale thread.
If you think he "blows" 1-3 woofers per burp you are wrong -- get your facts straight. Paul went to NUMEROUS shows without so much as hurting a single woofer playing music quite a bit. More than he can say for the other drivers he had in the Jeep. And you KNOW as well as I do that Paul is harder on drivers than almost anyone.
For that matter -- the new setup is more reliable than any of his others at this output level and the only damage he has done to any SA-12 is from over excursion (separating triple joint glue from the cone) as his peak frequency of 35 hz required a TON of throw.
Breaking this joint is also now nearly impossible on the newer revision drivers - I've put 4kw on bursts through the new models with the update to this joint... and for that matter out of several hundred SA-12s sold Paul is one of the VERY few to have damaged one at any power level -- anyone that has done so has been using them for SPL applications with very high power and/or extremely low frequencies like Paul.
As for the woofers I state as blowing per burp, I'm just going by what paul told me, lol. 48Hz isn't exactly a low freq either, but seeing as his resonance freq is 35 like we were building for, why were you tuning his boxes in the 40's? Especially knowing he does DB? And I'm not upset about not building his stuff anymore, at least your getting paid in one form or another. But the fact is, Paul never paid off the 21's he gave them to you for credit but they were not his, Call Nick at incriminator and ask him what Phil in VA has bought from him and guess what, he'll say a pair of 21" DP's and a set of recones.... Also, It was you who I am aware of melted the coil's in your DB MECA run, and chris gregory and another guy he built for both had nightshade 18 spiders detach from the basket on burps, and neither were using what I consider to be to much power for that sub on a burp. And as for my posting in your other thread, Paul told me shortly after the post went up that you were simply selling them for him and the proceeds did in fact go to me so, seems like theres a few things you need to get straight with Paul as well, unless you simply dont care to help someone screw someone else? lol. 35Hz requires even more throw to reach output with when your enclosure is tuned to 46Hz, his new flat spot by the way is 48-52Hz with the 4th order wall thing you guys built him. He did manage a 155 though, @ 48Hz. Not wthout loosing at least 1 coil, he said 1 was dead and 3 were acting funny? He is wanting to switch to RD by the way... or maybe thats just what he was telling me trying to get me to help him again, who knows...
How are the triple joints seperating from the cones without the coils bottoming out, and seeing that he now has 7200rms of woofers I'd imagine it is more reliable since he's not even running them at 2x rms, he's making constant trips to see ya, was just there tuesday I believe, for the woofer failure at the MECA show in clinics (if he's telling me the truth which I tend to believe him on that one)
I'm not the one looking silly anymore, saleing them to me.... ask Sound_Around whos' 21's those were... You'll find no exaggerations in anything I have said if you take the time to ask around instead of jumping to conclusions and taking one person's word over the other instead of doing a little research. Ant the most reliable set he had was the Orion HCCA 12.2's, not a single failure running 5600 per, 151.7 @ 38Hz with the pair in 11cubes @ 37Hz
