Xmax isn't everything. nG

I agree, from experience. nG

Hmmmsss... more shots of it from all angles? Sweets. nG

If you know how to properly use it, it's quick, simple, and accurate. Only use it to determine port length, that's it. I still do all the calculations on paper, and check my port length in winISD. nG

My fully loaded BTL15 loved my Kicker ZX2500.1 @1ohm... ~3000rms. When my new BTL 15 comes in, it'll be power by a Memphis 4kw @1ohm as well. With 4 Optima G31's and a 220amp alternator. nG

What amplifier do you have, exact model? What is the VoiceCoil config of the speakers? nG

You don't need to select a driver in winISD to design a box... all it does is influence the graph... which is completely inaccurate anway. http://www.caraudio.com/forum/showthread.php?t=215849 nG

Has anyone burnt a BTL coil? What wattage and what scenario would you EXPECT a BTL to burn up the voice coil? Maybe. At the Great12 Challenge, a BTL12 took a clamped 10kw for a bit before destroying itself mechanically. It reached mechanical failure... before anything happened to the coil... coil was fine. This was in a ported box, well below tuning as well. Yes, clipping is sending a bad signal to your subwoofer. It heats up the coil much faster when sending a clipped signal. The problem with playing below tuning is, you risk letting the coil dance on the bottom plate. You don't want your subwoofer to bottom out, as it can damage the coil/former. Typically, in a ported box... you're subwoofer will be able to control itself down to a half an octave below tuning... those this isn't always the case. It is still dependent on box size, overall tuning, and power. nG

Because... Real World > winISD nG

Scott is great. Was great hanging out with him at World Finals. We need MORE vids... and numbers. I wanna know what FLAMMING did in BassRace... nG

They are not completely broken in however they are not straight off of the assembly line. nG

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE!!!! Go here... www.bcae1.com To the dopey... nG

Yeah, I'd look into some SSD's with Flatwind... or some BL's. nG

Where is this, pick me up one? nG

As stated above, a dual 4ohm really isn't needed. The dual 1ohm and dual 2ohm versions cover all necessary +12v impedances. nG

Link to thread on ROE if possible? nG

Oh, top plate. Lol. I don't understand what he's talking about either then? He's getting a new basket... so he shouldn't have to worry about the motor at all except the debris in the gap . nG

Well. Basket. Spider and Surround landing smartie... nG

It'll run @1ohm daily, but it'll occasionally kick into protect for a split second and then come back... when the coils are cold. nG

I usually sand it down the a grinding wheel or DA with coarse snadpaper. nG

Nazis. . nG

As I said Nicky-Poo, I agree with the first two posts being made disappeared, but the third post where I said: Just trying the HELP people HELP themselves, so they learn something . And THAT was deleted. I understand this forum is a medium for the customers and Reps/Company to communicate with eachother... BUT... no need to turn into Adire on siN. . nG I'M the one that asked the question, and I prefer Nicks attitude to yours. Please Jizm, feel free to NOT help me help myself! Nick Shawn, Scott, Jake.....and everyone else.....this DOES NOT include you...I need all the help I can get. And I truly appreciate all the time you guys put into this board. Ok, continue to be an ignoramus. . nG
