sounds like a very nice idea. and use it not only for mid-bass but also sub-bass. only downside is that it's not small and not light. there aren't many doors that can handle this bugger

i'd get that oem 10. it's not got the infamous cones and the price is VERY attractive.

depending on how good you can strip the paint, you could try to polish it and put a couple clear coats on it if you like the look.

VERY nice pics Mike1

That statement cannot be categorically made. There are a ton of excellent amps out there that are/were painted or powdercoated. Most of the US made amps in the late 80's early 90's were painted. For mass production, annodizing is easier to get consistent and cheaper. Ok, than let me rephrase my previous statement. Painting your amp can change its thermal dissipation, so make sure that you ventilate it adequately. you're not going to put 15 coats on it, so you shouldn't worry about 1-2 coats

i see april 13th.

Mike usually recommends bigger enclosures compared to the optimal enclosures calculated by a program. go with his recommendations. .5 cf sounds good. if you don't like the sound, you can always add some fill to compensate for the small airspace.

? detail please. as far as i know, dcr is lower than the actual impedance. too bad the drawings i made for VJ dissapeared during the data loss... makes sense to me Neil. i always have hard times explaining these things

now that is going to be heavy

time to watch some looney tunes and then it's off to bed bye !

should've done my project this vacation. i don't think i'll ever do it

i think i have a buyer for my old speakers. hopefully he'll bite. i even switched to sub amp to stereo and wired the speakers on it to show him how loud they can get

leaving winamp on shuffle means late night tip always plays when dad is sleeping.

Ryan2, sorry i didn't tell you earlier, but i've dropped the cx2310 idea. i think i'll try to do it right from the get-go. right as in a dcx2496 EDIT : wtf, i've written later instead of earlier...

you've learned how to cook. i don't think learning how to make drinks is more difficult.

good choice on the mids. i'm curious to see how the ca18's mix with the 27tffn.

Happy Birthday !!!

Good job man !

:woot: that's a good looking circle compared to your previous work

i can get both for about the same price. i know the 8053 can run an active 2-way + sub. anyone know what sort of crossovers the alpine has ? which one to get ? i honestly don't have a clue as to which to choose...

did you ever recover the one that "disapeared"
