On the second evening of staring at the driver while contemplating my next move I have nothing substantial yet, but a few thoughts.

First, I like the SS logo very much, but I'm not sure about the orange color or its placement on the driver cone. It doesn't bother me, but I'm an anal perfectionist, always looking for "more satisfying to my tastes"... which certainly may not be the same as other folk, and probably are not. I definitely like the no-logo cone. I think that is my favorite. But, manufacturers need to "show their stuff". That being the case, I'd probably appreciate, more, a very simple "SoundSplinter" in SS font on the cone at the bottom middle or top middle. I feel the same way about the Alpine Type X subs. I'm proud of them, certainly, but I think their carbon fiber cone and unique industrial surrounds are enough of a statement that they don't need the silly swooping emblem in the middle of the cone. The ///Alpine name at the bottom is actually quite pleasing. The rest of the logo makeup is kinda' silly.

edit -- I absolutely love that SoundSplinter uses butadiene acrylonitrile (NBR) rubber for their surround material. Thanks Mike for that info'!

Tomorrow, if my family gives me some "play time", I'll probably load up these woofs in the enclosure and git 'er on!...

Also, on the RL-P, I'm not sure still about foam surrounds. Rubber seems to make more of a "quality" statement and it has also lasted longer, for me, in the past. If there is a performance reason, I can certainly stand by using foam surrounds. Otherwise, I'd guess that an increase in cost would be negligible, all things considered. If someone has information as to why foam is used (instead of rubber) on such high-end subwoofers as the W7, XXX, and RL-P, please post to help with the information sharing.

First off, the RL-p ain't usin' no foam surround my man! Our first generation drivers came with santoprene surrounds, unfortunately the santoprene required a special treatment of the cone to adhere properly with the glue we were using (admittedly, this led to but a few driver failures) so we currently use butadiene acrylonitrile (NBR) rubber for our surround material. It does have a more reflective look to it than the traditional santoprene, which may lend it to appear as foam in the proper light, but it is indeed rubber. Additionally, while rubber boasts longevity over foam (and I just downright love the rub! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/yumyum.gif.0556df42231b304b9c995aefd13928a8.gif ), foam can be a viable alternative for certain drivers since it can move with less resistance as opposed to its rubber counterpart.
