I'd even be willing to pay for a little help. I'd even consider paying for services. I'm sure someone around here has some mad photoshop and illustrator skills. I am wanting to go with a simple industrialized look. Nothing fancy, clean and well presented, but kinda give off a rough simple approach. I guess the best way to explain it would be facebook's approach simple clean recognizable.

help me out. I want something like the Mc Donald arches..Somthing that when seen you KNOW its Direct sound solutions. I can build a hell of a box but my artistic abilty is lacking. It' sbeen over a decade since I delt with visual arts

You can scratch no. 6 off the list. That is all horseshit. It that was the case evey single driver which is at least tens of thousands that has been driven by a IA or Sundown amp would have burnt up. It's just too much power plain and simple. The only other option to try is to use an encapsulant that can help wick away heat. As that joint is covered in CA glue to keep it from slapping and MAY hold excess heat as it's not being cooled like the rest if the coil. The lead is actually rated for more power than the 19 gauge wire is. So technically it should the the magnet wire failing and not the lead wire.

Spent a little time today on a possible 10" and 12" driver for the folks with limited mounting depth. Any possibility of building this driver will depend on the cost of manufacturing. It would use a 8 layer alluminum coil. Be around 600 watts rms. And has motor breaking on both the outward and inward stroke. By looking at the model you can see the motor does not have any outter assembly. No outside top plate or magnets. It uses the flux path of the inner neo magnets alone to create the flux gap that the coils rides in. This use of the magnets also creates the motor breaking. This allows me to put the entire motor inside the basket and attach the spider to the bottom of the coil. Xmax on this sub should be ~23mm one way. Mounting depth is limited to a 12 spoke 10'' and 12'' frame plus about 5mm.

I like different stuff and I like to see new people try stuff they've never attempted. I've built plenty if just about everything. Doesn't mean I know much. Just because you do something for a while doesn't mean your doing it right. I'm sure this thread will turn into another pissing match but maybe it won't and maybe a few will help. I'll do my part others can add their helpful info too if they wish. Per Vance Dickason (the way I interpreted it) states acoustic stuffing is to be used only in a transmission line after testing and to adjust system clue. Although not really sure how much that joker really knows. Or maybe I read wrong. If your interested in a bit more of his teachings I recommend purchasing a copy of his "Loudspeaker Cookbook".

No other size baskets have been ordered. There will be 18 baskets ordered after Chinese New Year making a 18 avaliable for the end of year holidays. No other sizes will be avaliable till then as I have to bulk order at least 100 at a time from china and that is a 4 to 6 month turn around. A 10 has been asked about several times. I have a couple 10 frames an parts so I'll build one. I can tell you now it will not be musically pleasing. At least not like the Ethos. It is just too much motor force. I'll build one and have it tested. If there is enough interest for something like that then I'll sell it.

edited for you. This is why it's not locked. I have a bad habit of forgetting the details.

Right now I'm working on getting all info in one place and get it pinned and locked so there is no confusion on specs. pricing, ect.

$345 shipped for the 12 and $355 shipped for the 15. This however will change starting the first 2/15/14. My bean counters don't like having shipping already in the pricing as it adds uncertainty to profit margin due to the change in shipping depending on where you are located. Right now the shipping included in the price is an average of each of a zip code of each of the 48 con. states. When the pricing structure takes effect depending on where you are located it can change the pricing plus of minus ~$10.

Yea they disappeared. I will have the 15 back up and I finally have 12 results as well.

Ethos 15 recommended enclosures FOR REFERENCE THE WARM LARGE PARAMETERS ARE USED. THE GRAPHS CORRESPOND TO THESE PARAMETERS

Yes the Ethos 15 uses 3 stuff and one soft spider.

Waiting on sample for it. The initial Primo driver is being assembled now.

The spiders are stackable as the Ethos uses four however being a true progressive spider they have a conture that keeps them from sandwiching without effort. It takes a bit of compression to get them sandwiched tightly The baskets are prepped. They aren't ground down to the bare metal just as the top coat isn't ground down to the steel in a car to make it hold. It's just not needed. And if any glue joint did cone unglued it would be covered under the 3 year warranty.

uploaded just for Sean........................

Depending on how slow this front moves through we may get 6 inches or so that'll stick.

The DSS adds about 25 deebeezz but yea I have/ can have others.

Ethos coil pricing added to top

Give me till tomorrow and I'll PM a total with shipping. Do you mind if I roll it up to fit in the smallest USPS box as possible to save shipping? If you are happy with pricing I'll send over a paypal invoice.

Sean I just might need to borrow a sled for tomorrow

This cold front coming through is starting another migraine. And I'm plum out of imatrex.

Honestly not sure. I've never had a TI basket in my hands. The 18 gaskets fit the 6 spoke 18'' frames.

Which Protank? 1, 2, or 3? I have a 2 and 3 and like the 2 better. I was frying coils in my PT3 every 2 days or so. But the PT2 is solid. Very nice. Not trying to bury your thunder... But I have amazing vape mail coming tomorrow. I am super stoked. I have a Nemesis arriving, an Aqua Atomizer, a Kayfun clone which is similar to my Russian, and a few batteries. The Nemesis is a HUGE deal. They build them only 2 or 3 times a year and if you are lucky, you can snag one within a few hour window. There are currently (after this run) less than 1000 built in total, not just this run. It's a big deal. That's what you get for running Korean. If it was Chinese built you wouldn't fry ur coils. Smokin all that dirty power is bad for you.
