AlphaDamp

I agree about the terminals. I would have liked to have seen something more rigid to hold up with time. I don't think it will be a huge issue, just something I would like to see upgraded. The screw holes I'm not sure about yet. We will see if there are any issues, but wo be honest I do not see it being much a problem.

I'm sure there is/was a price point to meet with these subs. However if it was me, I would have just went with the direct lead and ditched the terminal all together.

I'm very interested to see how the alphadamp performs. From what we done so far with it, the biggest draw back may be the price. That is something will get to very soon though.

I wouldn't just drop them all together. With in their price position on the market and from what the performance we have seen from them during testing late yesterday I would think they will do ok and match up decently against other drivers of a higher price range.

Not saying they don't leave something to be desired with parts of the build quality. I agree direct lead would be "over kill/a joke" if you will, but they could drop the terminal all together and it would look much better then the thin metal they are mounted to.

I think that we are all accustom to seeing much larger drivers(higher price point) so the smaller ones typically do not interest us and are easy to find things we would like to have altered/changed. We have to remember that all drivers have price points to meet...when that is part of the equation like with anything some things are "scaled back" a bit.

From other drivers in this price point I have tested I would say Cadence is on par or ahead of most of them actually. I will see if I can make some comparisons to others I have tested...not sure if enough time has passed for the other to be discussed yet though.

I will take some measurements tomorrow to see how much room there is from the screw hole to the end of the mounting lip. My sugestion would be to have them centered with in the whole they are already, but instead of making them oval..keep them circle. That should be a quick resolution to that issue.
