[QUOTE="denim, post: 8514041, member: 545441"] [B]There are a few reasons, but one of the main ones was due to a solid pole (meaning non rear retaliated motor), cooling had to be addressed. I knew people were going to plan to run a lot of power to them, so heat would be a concern. Also, there is a slight drop in moving mass helping with efficiency to keep the high output guys happy.[/B] [B] [/B] [B]Keep in mind there are a number of excellent mid-bass drivers in the same price bracket that have a phase plug. SEAS Prestige, Peerless, Fountek, and Hi-Vi all have great mid-bass drivers with phase plugs. I still have a pair of Ascendant Audio Carbon's in my basement that used a phase plug.[/B] [COLOR=Silver] [/COLOR] [COLOR=Silver][SIZE=8px]---------- Post added at 12:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:38 PM ----------[/SIZE][/COLOR][SIZE=8px][/SIZE] [COLOR=Silver] [/COLOR] [B]Awesome!
