[QUOTE="HiAmplidude, post: 1061706, member: 561470"] 08-12-2005 8:41PM Before getting into physical measurements, I noticed a couple more things I should mention. Some I like, and one I like to be different... Which is the speaker terminals -- Although they are spring-loaded push-terminals (very nice), they are on the opposite side of each other (probably to eliminate new-installer confusion), but makes for a slightly more complicated installation with more dangling cable behind the driver. I'd rather see posts that bind the voice coils in parallel/series configuration at the driver and terminals for the input pair. Not really a big deal, but I thought it was "mentionable". Big plusses go to the rubber "grommet?" completely surrounding the outer mounting plate bottom and top. This can help with imperfect installations, to make for a super-seal plus adds nice looks to the face and some added durability. Weight: Alpine SWX-1242D (Type X): 29.0 pounds without screw-cover trim SoundSplinter RL-P12: 31.0 pounds total Mounting depth (please add for voice coil vent breathing room): Alpine SWX-1242D (Type X): 8.6" SoundSplinter RL-P12: 6-9/16" (excellent for tighter installs!) Mounting hole is about the same 11.0 inches, but the SoundSplinter RL-P12 bolt holes are closer to the inside than the Alpine and some other common drivers, meaning it will not be a direct swap of 12" subwoofers in my enclosure. It is, however, the same as many other 12" drivers, so direct-swap is 50/50 (so far). How 'bout some pic's? More to come... [/QUOTE]
