Baccus, Where have you been? You disappeared for months?

TL son.

you need nightshades!

So I cracked open some Knukonceptz Krystal 4channel RCA cables that I just took out of my car(replaced with my own I made ). and as I suspected, quadruple shielding my ass! None of the shields are grounded, I looked on both ends all look the same 2 wire conductor per rca. I cut that black heat wrap off on all of them. 1 side: other side: close up: they all look the same as this just different color conductor wires. here is another shot of the Knu where the pants meets actual cable insulator Looking for shielded RCAs? dont buy those...

mr.taxi, Knu is misleading the consumer in saying it is shielded 4 times. A shield is worthless unless its grounded somehow IMO. its not about if the cable will get rid of noise or not..for the most part at least, its more about the marketing. Just like you have strong feelings again Bose or even Monster for that matter. yes there are downsides to grounding the shield. I could list them myself too, but i think in this situation it would be a good thing for them to grounded at least on one end.

yes it still has a shield, but it is not functional! for that cable it needs to be grounded atleast once for it to work. its merely looks. I love how Knu's lawyers worded their site: no mention if its a functioning shield or not...cant sue sorry.

Will Chad be testing it?

I got some new wire the other day, Found a pretty sick deal on wire(RCA cable). I ordered mine last friday as an impulse buy, it came in today. Looks fine to me. Plenty skinny and flexible. Only thing I dont like is it doesnt have a wire going down the shield like a foil shield would have, just personal preference, this braid should do a better job shielding than the foil would. The actual conductor looks about a 24 gauge. Color doesnt matter to me I end up dressing mine in Techflex anyway so its whatever. http://cgi.ebay.com/TIFF-TCI-1000-100-FT-S...1742.m153.l1262 Check out the sellers other items, he always has good chit going on. pics of the wire I took:

I am sorry there is no warranty, no matter which options you get. That is the risk you took when purchasing the BTL. Should have bought a pair BLs if you wanted warranty. Recones run about ~$100(give or take) plus shipping if i remember correctly.

i bought the wire from here: http://www.redco.com/shopexd.asp?id=656 connectors off eBay

I did mess up a quite a bit, i didnt take the necessary precautions i was suppose to when using gold connectors, and i used too much solder.

I am a little confused. So a bandpass enclosure(gearing more at 4th orders on up) basically just acts as a Mechanical Filter? Isnt it just meant to play that bandwidth solid so its not like a roller coaster peak and valleys in that bandwidth range....like the octaves you mention would mean there is no set 1 note tuning you could essentially play different notes as long as it falls in that octave.

what happened to the forum last night(well this morning around 2am central)? It was down, i thought ssa was gone for good

i was quoted $60

TTB was charging $40 per design. Then they stopped, and now Pete(Hexabase) went solo and now charges $60 a design! Even more obsurd

this reminded me when me, justin, and doug walled the DDs.

they are $75 now at stores I saw at Frys. However im not a complainer too much on price, as you already know i spend a ton of money on jeans as is lol. btw i posted a review on Audiojunkies a few weeks ago on them, I didnt give it a perfect score because it did/does have some faults. I also discovered(after i wrote review) that Vmoda intentionally made them not to play real high because it would fatigue your ears quickly

this sub will go great with that new Critical Mass 5 channel amp

hmm 1k seems like a lot of power if i get it im still going to throw maybe only 300-600 i hope it lives like a champ.

please tell jacob to get rid of the bling basket. Is this going in the fit?

yeah thats why i was thinking on a pair to compensate power loss

Nick, do you think it will do well in an IB alignment? i was/am considering doing a pair...
