Kicker Guy

Hey Scott, I need a question answered that just seems to never go away... I found this, its a quote from Dan Wiggins about power handling when running 1 coil on a DVC sub "Lastly, power handling isn't compromised by a factor of 2; it's usually decreased 10-25%. The reason is that rarely are you current-limited by the gauge of the wire, and voice coils are wound concentrically so you still have the entire thermal mass working for you. Just that now all the power is dissipated in a single voice coil (typically two of four layers) so you may end up with an inert, non-conducting thermal mass insulating one side of the voice coil. This does not halve power handling, but can reduce it somewhat." Personally it sounds right to me but you are a designer what do you say? Also man I love the SSD and BL's I ordered, I love how great they are and how cheap you sell them... you guys freakin rock! Thanks, Matt

When I had questions before I placed my order Nick was very helpful and replied always within 24 hours (which was a big help so thx Nick!) And when I had order questions Scott always answered back within a 10 hour period. For a smaller company I would say they do a great job!

Well I don't know anything about the V-max either, but I will say that I went from a Kicker CVR 12 to a SSD 12 and it is louder and so much more accuate than the kicker I will never go back. When I got my SSD I didn't expect much from a $189 sub, but all I can say is WoW was I ever wrong.

no that must be someone else

Well I just got my 2 BL 18s and my SSD 12.... They look great... well 2 of um do but UPS threw the one 18 around a little too much and broke the box and scratched the sub grrrrr!. But wow they do look pretty good I will get pics up soon my g/f has my cam so when I get it back I will post. THANKS FI!!!
