Good to know, thanks Ryan

Heh... Good point!

Thanks but... I am asking because he actually wasn't sure about the exact date when he will be receiving the new parts. Told me sometime in october and I wanted to know whether some of you guyz on the forum knew about anything.

Ohh ok... Sweet. Means I can use my amp at 2 ohm load without any problem? I have 1.1 cu/ft to play with. The amp is underated, I have seen on a forum that the Ground Zero GZUA 1.1600 D was putting out something like 750W@4ohm and 1150W@2ohm. Would that be too much to send 575W to each RL-i8?

Dear all, This is the first time, am sending a post so this is similar to a test. I am interested in buying the lil' monsters RL-i8s. Would it be possible to wire 1 Dual 4 ohm to a Single 4 ohm woofer? To make like a 3 ohm load or something I know it is stupid since the specs aren't the same for the two versions but you never know. Thanx a lot guyz. Kelvin

I am not disagreeing with you but... I do know that you need an amp with "ultra high" damping factor for an infinite baffle setup. Meaning that class D designs are out of question. I have a friend competing in IASCA shows for a year now and when discussing about damping factor with other competitors, it seems that it is useless when having a low Q design (eg. sealed) however it does make a difference in SQ when using it with ported designs and IB ones. Even thought it is really useless, my mind will always think "hmm... sounds better now" lol I have a Milbert tube amp for the front stage, and I have read the whole explanation about damping factor on their web site. That is why I said that it might be a myth: http://milbert.com/articles/DampingFactor.bdc

Ohh yes, sorry, I will be using a Ground Zero GZUA 1.1600 D Class D amplifier's damping factor is not as great as AB class ones. I am going with class D coz I have a car where it is impossible to find a HO alternator.

I know that damping factor is important. Some think about it as a myth, but I do believe in it. * Having more power going to the woofers on a 3 ohm load instead of 4 ohm load * and not losing half the daming factor by going with the 3ohm load over the 2 ohm one Hope it is clear, my primary language is french so... lol

All good. I tought so... Thanx Ohh well, I'll stick with the Dual 4 then. Cheers mate
