Here is a cool one for everyone who is amazed at the size of an MTX RFL. Here it is compared with a Shocker Sig. One of my favorite pics. And yes, the Shocker is a 12".

I see it! :-) thanks!

Topic speaks for itself. !st of is a Concept sub. Don't quite think it is supposed to stay like that.

Got started on the box on Friday and slowly between chores and other things to do it should be finished today. Hopefully the 1st show will be either a USACi event on the 11th or a Clash show on the 17th.

If I had (4) 6 1/2's and I went to (3) 8's, how much louder would I be?

I agree, that error is so small it will not make any audible difference.

A 144.5 on the TL and a 145 on the AC.

This was my last setup from 2006. I competed in Stock 1 class in IASCA. I will post when I get my 2008 setup done. car: 1998 Saturn SL2 Electrical: stock alt, Big 3, stock battery + Kinetik 2000 Amps: (2) Elemental Design NINe.1's Subs:(4) Elemental Designs EU-700's Box: Ported, roughly 2 cubes after port and sub displacement Mic: TL & AC Tone: 53 Hz Score: Legal on the dash, 144.5 TL and 145 AC

Thanks for the answers, my intent of this post was basically just to say I was competing again after a year off. My last setup was with (4) 6 1/2's and this year it will be (3) 8's.

good score. I really like the looks of the sub!

It is possible I miscalculated something, but I don't think I did.

Also, this was at .5 ohm before box impendance rise and .7 after rise.

In Car measurments with a true RMS DMM and a voltage clamp:) Of course I had a little help froma car jump starter for some additional voltage:) I did not use an Oscope so no telling how nasty the THD was either.

Gotcha

poor petey, giving ben his money.... Thisis the way I see it. The equipment I run does more than what it is supposed to. My NINe.1's bench tested at 1700 RMS on a .7 ohm load and the EU-700's are taking 5 times the amount of power they were designed for. I have had 2 friends have something go wrong with their products, one was an amp and one was a sub. Both were taking care of very promptly. I am aware of the past troubles with ED, such as stories of not standing up for their warranty, taking forever to deliver pre-orders and even sending out defective merchandise. I have never seen any of this personally so I can't say it did or did not happen. I am basing my evaluation on the ED I have seen in the past year or so.

I would buy from them, oh wait, I did If you do like their products the group buy has some great deals going on.

The goal is a 145 on the dash with either the AC-190 or the Termpro. I think she has it in her.

Well, I will warn you, the install is kinda messy at the moment. I am changing boxes and such so often it is not worth cleaning up the mess after each setup:) Once I find a good box I will mend that though and make her look respectable. As of now I compete in IASCA stock 0-160 and have hit 3 shows. The highest with 1 amp was at the Greg Welch World Record event in Marietta, GA and on the AC-190 I did a 141.7. This is with a stock alt and battery. I have also recently joined MEca and will compete in the S5 class. My 1st show is june 4th in Dothan, AL. Recently I have retuned the box and added a 2nd amplifier. Next on the list is a Kinetik 2400. Just ran out of spare money this check. For some strange reason I have a nasty voltage problem now Here are the install. Deck - basic Alpine CDE-9843 Line Driver - the faithful RW Audio LD2.4MS"burp" Subs - (4) Elemental Designs EU-700's Amps - (2) Elemental Designs NINe.1's The pic of the amps was taken recently but the box design has changed slighty. I enlarged the port area and it is right at 78 Sq. in of port.

Sunday the 4th in Dothan I did a 143.8 in the kick at a MECA event on the Termlab. Slowly getting louder. Should be a touch louder with a new battery that I have been waiting for almost 2 weeks now And if anywayone wants a RW line driver give me a shout. He is doing a small limited edition run as long as I can get 10 orders together.

Well, I ordered a Kinetik 2400 to help with the voltage problem and that should arrive Wednesday. Should stabilize things abit. I bought some of the Stinger Xpert series battery terminals that accept dual 0 guage. Very nice. I also changed out some of the wiring to have everything color matched:) Everything should be ready for a MECA show in Dothan next weekend. Will post some pics when everything is installed.

Yeah, I never got those lights. I mean, that is a tough looking driver then they had to add some bling.

Well, I have only used them for SPL purposes so I can't give an accurate review of them as a whole. I can say that the do have quite a bit of excursion and in the right applications can handle quite a bit of power. I would like to compare them to the Mpyre 65X sub. As a value though for $50 a pop so far I think they would do very good for someone looking to get a little thump in their trunk without spending a lot and have a little "wow" factor. Hopefully at the double point IASCA event on the 17th of June I will be in the 145 realm:)

Here is a better picture of one of my other line drivers. It should make it a little easier on the eyes, no squinting required:)

The RW Audio piece lets me burp the system with no need for a remore control or pause button. It has a switch that either let's the audio signal pass to the amps uninterrupted or it can be flipped to cut off signal to the amps so that there is no sound coming from the subs until you push the button.
