Supreme Series LMT Prototype Pictures

[SoundSplinter 1]

I know quite a few of you have been houndin' me for pictures of the new drivers -

and I've been hesitant as we continue to refine and play around with different

options from week to week, but I figure you've waited long enough and deserve

an inside look at what these drivers will be lookin' like when they are finally released

this coming summer. However, I will be keepin' ya in suspense on the driver's

excursion for now, but will get some nice pr0n for ya'll in the next couple weeks

Please note that the drivers pictured herein are still slightly different from what the

final production versions will look like - but for the most part, this will definitely

give you a solid idea of what to expect.

So without further ado, feast your eyes on these beasts

The cone:

The driver:

An older prototype that has been scrapped:

The magic:

Various LM coil prototypes:

The cones definetly looks nice, yet simple & the rubber surround is pretty damn massive as well.. me like

Look great! Its probably been mentioned, but what are the reccomended enclosures for these subs?

[Supa_c 1]

Maby if the cone was black with the silver dust cap i would like the looks a bit more.

[Nikuk 1]

I like the cone & cap/heatsink idea

I'm very surprised to see that surround on Your driver

...waiting to exhale.

get off meh nuts! i wanted it!

mike. those are effin' beasts.

could you put a ruler next to the coil and the driver and take a shot maybe? for size refrences? i need to look into where the box is going to be

[Acidburn 10]

looks very very sweet Mike

[psycho72 1]

Freakin great work Mike.

As for the protos I'd only be into them if they were even more extreme then the final which I don't think they are gonna be.

[EFFENDI 0]

Personally, im not all tha fond of the cosmetics. I'm definitely more interested in the specs....

Very exciting stuff though.

[bigger_george 2]

very nice! How's the box size recommendation lookin for it? Small box or large box sealed/ported?

[Impious 1,476]

IIRC the last quoted specs, it had a fairly high Qts and low Fs, which aimed it as being better suited towards a sealed box. Don't know if that has changed at all....

BTW, nice pics

Any chance you going to offer a discounted "initial offering" price once these are first released??

[SoundSplinter 1]

These will be optimized for relatively small boxes. Maybe a tad bit larger than the optimal enclosures for our RL-p series, but comparable nonetheless.

ngsm, I don't think you'll want the driver that was scrapped - it's not a very good driver to tell you the truth. Came out with an absolutely wicked impedance curve .. so wicked in fact, that the Praxis software we were using to measure the T/S param's couldn't even figure the param's out!

squeak, I am not going to offer these at a lower initial price due to concerns from the build house. I already got enough sh

so come out with the vids already mike

What about cosmetics, are we going to see the same "signature" look as the RL-P?

[SoundSplinter 1]

Logo cosmetics have not yet been decided. Squeak, I'd love to do everything my way, but you gotta keep good relations with your partners in crim-- I mean, business. Hell the only crime would be not letting people get ahold of these drivers B)
