Neo is great but it is expensive. Because China has put a choke hold on exports(they have one of the only supplies in the world) some prices have gone up 300 percent since last year. Plus neo is heat sensitive, it loses its magnetic force when extreme amounts of power is used Also our sub uses an 11 inch diameter, 44mm thick steel top plate bot to mention a massive steel 4 inch polepiece and 11 inch diameter backplate. So even if neo was used the amount of steel in the motor would defeat the purpose. The 2 inch thick 11 inch diameter ferrite magnet we are using produces plenty enough force, coupled with the fact it is xbl^2 enabled. Retained about 95% of its BL (about 34.5) all the way to 20-22mm it should be a nasty driver.

If soundstream's specs are accurate. Our motor is projected to have 130% more motor force than the xxx 15 and 19% more motor force than their 18. This is with a 4 inch daily use coil (we will be recruiting the help of some seasoned competitors for spl specific recones). I only know of two subs that might have more motor force in the market today.

Just got another update from my designer. Final softpart samples on the Genesis and initial samples for the divine high output woofer will be here in about 15 days.

I aint heard Juvi in a long time.

We're not talking about a trained government official going for a kill shot. For someone wanting personal protection I gaurantee a shot of 410 birdshot to the face, 2 or 3 45 magnums to the chest will do the job. ^^^ Ill take a shot gun shell to a single slug anyday.

I will never have an automatic for personal protection. I keep a taurus 3" judge with 3/0 buckshot in the cupholder in my DD. A American Darenger 38 special in my back pocket(when I'm not working). And my old lady keeps a lady's 38 special in her dd, and a 2" judge in her purse.

enclosure for 6 Kicker cvx 15's 24 cubic feet net tuned to 35 hertz with two 12" ports with custom made flares. Double baffle plus a third layer for flush mount, with a ton of interior bracing. Wrapped in tan vinyl with black suede inlays. Pictures are just a general layout and do not show flares or internal bracing. (It would take me damn near as long to draw them as it will to build them. LOL)

Nope, you got to read the fine print on the tube. It states "nominal" 12 inch. I don't understand why they are off that much either.

did a little work on the mold for the flares

It'll be a week or two before I am able to do the build. You will be looking at 305 plus shipping for flushed baffle, kerfed port inlayed with suede. If you would like the enclosure wrapped in suede or vinyl it will be 400 plus shipping. I would fire the subs up with a centered kerf port firing forward.

I need to know the orientation of the enclosure. I assume 48" wide. Below the window line? If so what is the max height? Regular charcoal carpet or something fancy? Regular port, kerffed port? Single baffle, double baffle? Subs flushed?

Going to be shipped in a wooden crate to Memphis. Actually shipping wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be

Is the total length 17 or just the pipe? Don't forget half of each flares' radius adds to the effective port length.

Well, I was going to recomend doing a Rane AC 225 active crossover for your processing, but that'll put you a tad over budget.

I assume you are going 3 way? (didn't read all 3 pages) Are you trying to pinch pennies?

Who gives a flying fart what it's going to sound like. The only way to keep the industry alive is people like you enjoying the hobby. It sounds like y'all are having fun playing around with a new setup and wanted to share with everyone. I dont know why anyone would want to scoff at that. And any one mature enough should realize this and be encouraging.

I know scion makes a car with a Subaru boxer engine

For the people trying to bunp on a budget I will be offering new affordable enclosures. each will have the following features built from lightweight birch to save on shipping one pair of flushed terminal bolts baffle bracing to handle heavier drivers wrapped in charcoal or black trunk liner ALL ENCLOSURE WILL SHIP OUT WITHIN SEVEN (7) BUSINESS DAYS FROM PAYMENT. NO EXCEPTIONS. If I am backed up with orders I will put you on a waiting list and keep you informed when I am ready for your build. I do not collect funds untill I start your build. DUAL 10" 2.5 cubic feet tuned to 32 hertz with 35 square inches of port $145 plus shipping DUAL 12" 3.6 cubic feet tuned to 32 hertz with 50.75 square inches of port $170 plus shipping SINGLE 12 1.8 cubic feet tuned to 32 hertz with 24 square inches of port $130 plus shipping SINGLE 15" 3.25 cubic feet tuned to 32 hertz with 42 square inches of port $155 plus shipping I will have other sizes with pricing posted as soon as I have them worked up.

Using 6 in ports each one needs to be 15" long if you have 7 cubes net.

That unit should automatically play when you insert the disk. Try it in your home DVD player and make sure it works.

500 non clamped (calculated using sub impedance and amp voltage with 50 hertz test tone) with Hifonics Brutus amp song played is Mr. Magic "I Smoke, I drink"

The softparts on the one pictured are the same exact parts you would find on other US companies' subs.

Even though the cones and spiders I recieved were not correct I was able to come up with a little something to test the coil and motor I will be using. You can see from the pictures the OD of the surround is a little to close to the mounting holes. The spider was also a little large so that had to be trimmed a bit. So far I am happy with the coil. 250-500 watts is all that will be needed for daily listening. Any more power really didn't result in much more output on the TL that would justify more power for daily listening. I ran a Bass Mechanic cd on it full tilt for 30 min straight with apprx. 980 watts clamped and the "Coil Bonder" glue smelled a little but the coil looked and functioned properly. So far I have put about 30 hours of play on it and it looks and sounds fine.

The surround is overkill, it's 32mm (I think), we are going with a rubber 25 wide x 25 tall surround on the 15 and a 24 wide x 24 tall surround on the 10 and 12. With a slightly lighter cone and an aluminum dustcap.
