The Great 15" Challenge

[Lakota 5,000+ posts]

It sounds like an interesting test. I would love to test a bunch of 15's, and will probably never have the chance to do something like this. I see why you want to do it, but I can also see a lot of bashing on the results. A lot of the people on this forum have nothing better to do than coming on here and bashing what people do. I can also understand why some companies do not want to give drivers. Good luck with it, and I hope you get more drivers.

Yeah but unless they were there for the test and to hear and see the results they cant bash cause they don't know.

You just cant let people like that get to you. Who knows what will happen but I know Matt will try his best to provide fair results for every sub that is tested.

If I were to test that many subs, I would keep all the results to myself

Looks like EVO, DC, Sundown are all pending atm.

Looks like I got a HDC3 (aluminum) that will be tested along with a DD 9515G

Flame away sir //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif..you won't hurt my feelings a bit. It isn't "Backing Out", It's not getting into it in the first place. I respectfully declined and wished him the best of luck.

As stated, been there, did that...got nothing to hide, and will never do it again. Because after the 8 challenge, and 12 challenge, we found that at the end of the day outside of the exact conditions that everything is in the results are pretty much worthless. So unless you are the person that has the car that is being tested in the scenario..every single piece of data that you gather from it need not apply.

If you really want to get picky and see what subs REALLY do we can always throw them on our laser measurement system that we've developed...but that's got those weird things called physics and spectral vibrometry involved.

I already know what ours do...

I think you're putting too much stock into one SPL number.

I think it has more to do with a company appearing to be backing down from the challenge. Trying and falling short will be seen as better than not trying at all. Just IMO at least.

No disrespect to anyone who is declining (Jacob maybe, and Nick/Scott), I only even agreed to do this because of 1 certain piece of info.
