Lots of uses for Kevlar. Tensile strength is the best property of Kevlar fiber. It has zero inherent stiffness. It won't tear easily (which is why it's great in multiple layers for ballistic vests) but it isn't anything special in terms of cone material because it is a limp strand of polymer until it is resined in some way. At that point the weight and the stiffness of the resin is more important than the presence of Kevlar fiber. I'd much rather have a carbon fiber cone because it adds about the same to the structure as Kevlar and weighs much less.

Adassa Audio would like to repsond to the comments made by Snoop Dan earlier in this post. As you know there are always two sides to to a story. Snoop Dan was introduced to me by a friend of mine in the U.S. I spoke to Dan and he said that he wanted to run Adassa Audio in his jeep. He said that he would do all the promotional work in the U.S.A such as magz, videos, etc. He sent us an email detailing what he was going to do and we thought it was a good idea to work wth him. So we sent him 2 Adassa Warlords and we said to him that the amps still belong to Adassa and once the season has ended he could then buy the amps if he wanted to or return them. He even agreed to pay the shipping costs which he never did and we did not bother asking him for it. He was supposed to do DB Drag, which he did not take part in, (once again which was AGREED!) he was supposed to return the amps as he has not decided to buy them, which again he has not done. As you are all aware he was also helped by TC Sounds who were also taken for a ride by this guy. He kept blowing up the TC Sounds subs everytime and boasting that "he just blew up another one", and at the same time laughing about this. I was speaking to the owner of TC Sounds today and they are all aware of Snoop Dan and what he's tryinig to do. We feel that this is a highly disrespectful thing to do and is not fair on the honest competitors who wish to be GENUINELY sponsored by a car audio company. Of all our amplifiers we have sold Snoop Dan is the only and I quote "ONLY" person to have ever blown these amps (x2) which clearly demonstrates his inexperience. So we arranged to repair one of the amps including the shipping back to the US. and he arranged to get the other amp repaired by someone in the US so we also arranged for the parts to be shipped to the US. The repaired amp was throughly tested before being sent out to Dan. He went to a Meca event and the amp was playing fine until he played a sweep and went below tuning which shorted the subs then blew the amp. He then said to me what am I going to do about it i said to him he will have to pay for repairs as according to our terms and conditions this is deemed as 'customer misuse'. He threatened the company saying that he will no longer run Adassa Audio and when people ask him why, he will tell them the truth which he clearly has not done. We gave Dan full support and we are very disappointed that he is reacting this way because he is not getting 'what he wants'! We are aware of what Dan is trying to do and so are TC sounds and we think that this is a very cheap shot by someone who claims to be a top class competitor. As for Adassa Audio owing Meca money, Adassa Audio has never had anything to do with Meca. Be very careful before you make accusations like that as slander is a very dangerous thing.

I know your from England, so could you please speak in English. A paragraph isn't a bad thing ya know?

Agreed. Well put. I found it to be a farce in the 80's and it still is today.

Its amazing that the few people that still manage to get a sponsorship would screw it up. In todays car audio world, they are VERY rare, and this is the EXACT reason for that.

Can I ask you a question bud(adassa audio), why did you decide to run 2 slugs on the 12 and 4 slugs on the 15? I think the subs look very nice, and should do quite weil in the SPL arena! Congrats on the new product. Let us know some drop in test results in your car based on other drivers that you have run. We have heard quite good things from some of our associates in the UK about your products!

umm. wow.

So adassa did you ever figure out is Kevlar subs louder?
