Without further delay... 12 inch test session is OPEN

Hmmmmmm what?

I don't know, just interesting figures.

I wish someone could make a big pdf file with all the pics, graphs, and comments about the listening test. That would make a great reference.

When you say the Durabrand died on 50 watts, was the the only power it saw or did it get more before that?

I have one and have played with it a little bit. First I had it off 150 RMS, then 300, then 600. It took that power just fine, didn't fail and the coils still look fine. I only got to play them for a couple minutes at each power though. This was in a 2.5@32 box.

Maybe there was something wrong with the one you had?

i hooked up the durabrand and basically at less than referance volume it died

Could have been. It died trying to normalize SPL.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/uhoh.gif.c07307dd22ee7e63e22fc8e9c614d1fd.gif

Weird...

Well this weekend I will be able to listen to it a little more and I'll see what I can find out.

Looks like Scott paid these boys a little money under the table to put out good numbers

A lot of the drivers were tested at the limits determined by Loyd, Nick M., myself, Sean, Chad, and others deemed necessary without damaging the drivers. These drivers weren't "ours" so we tested them without blowing them (well, most of them anyway...heheh).
But yes, the graphs you see in SPL per woofer were the SPL results with that woofers RMS rated power. Some woofers had more power, others had less power. And for the most part (chime in Loyd, Sean, etc) RMS was pretty close to mechanical power handling for most of the drivers that withstood the 80 Hz on down ported SPL test.

The Aura wanted at least 800w in it's SPL tests...... //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Poor Aura. It pooped out when I wasn't even there. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif Didn't even make it past 75 Hz sealed. I would have loved to have seen it do better though. I have the 15" version of it and loved it ported. Now I've got four Mag 15's IB in my living room...so no need for the Aura anymore. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Any info on what broke? tinsel or what?

 

[Savstyle 10+ year member]

**** nice results alot were really surprising.

Will there ever be a 15" test session?

 

[Electrodynamic 10+ year member]

Motor seized up to the best of my knowledge. I know next to nothing though, you'll have to ask Loyd. Chad said "it just DIED".
