IF anything... 12 or 15" SQL type moofers. Neo is doubtful, unless You phoo's gonna bankroll it.

sealed core = more BL in the tween the poles.

sorry, Two MT 12's. The Uber was for a comparo shot.

very, very, very doubtful. I remember Wiggin's knockin Ponte down about the LMT design. Good points too, but I can't see Adire adopting it.

Thats just it... Adire proper was never the AA buildhouse. AA licensed XBL tech from a 3rd party... which happened to have bought the license from Adire. So, again, IMO, Adire had nearly nothing to do with this. Bah... [/]

I've gotta try them sometime... Got them for a steal.. there is a small discrepancy on the coil dcr, but I'm planning on reconing these asap anyhow. If only Marshall would get back to me. Going to need more power.

So... Fedex came today. Two 65lb packages.

*whistles*

I agree with Squeak as far as the timing... there was a good point made about the timing as well. That's neither here nor there though. Ryan... there are some smart folks at RE, there are a few raging dickheads as well to sum that up. They do, however, put out a few nice products in my experience so far. This whole "breakup" thing = soap opera / marketing / who cares. I've used and will use both RE & Adire in the future. AA, I'll prolly not look at again.

pics up in Denims thread.

Yeah, thats bullchit.. though I suppose I could see where that make that up from.

where are You located?

gotcha.

nope If I can find the pic, I'll fwd it. Basically - Assuming You have (2) 12"s for Street B: Two seperate boxes. One on psgr side with woofer up port back, the other on the drvr side with woofer facing the side trim panel and port back. Don't ask me why, but I know of three Explorer competitors that are loudest with this kind of arrangment... and two other SUVs that use the idea.

LMAO... getting a bit ahead aren't we??

I hope this'll help clear a little air: http://hometheatertalk.com/httalk/viewtopic.php?t=12865 Ryan, refer to the above link as to applying my last post to RE. Also, with regards to RE, they make one woofer with XBL motors... out of six(?). My take on AA has been that they picked up the xbl motor (sub-license apparently) and put soft parts on it (obviously more entailed, but You get the idea). I know that RE spends a good portion of time & money on R&D. Bare in mind, I havent follow AA very much at all, where as I've followed Adire rather closely... RE also to an extent. So, I'm biased for the sake of ignorance / lack of info. I do know that in my dealings with Adire and RE reps, employees, I've found them very intelligible but not very personable. From what I've seen of Kupyers posts... other way around. Also, in general, I DONT like RE. I've seen many more posts by Scott (Resonant Engineer) that delve into technical, theoretical, and applied physics then the total number of posts of Chad. $0.02

I disagree. AA was putting out a great product at budget prices. They marketed their drivers very well, and that is why a lot of people are using them. On another note, I would do the same thing. The XBL^2 technology is supposed to be "the best." If the effectiveness of this technology is inferior between who designs/builds motors, why pay money to have "the best" when it's not "the best?" Granted, I do agree with Dan as they are constantly working on this engineering marvel so of course they are going to have the ability to do adjustment instantly when they find something that works better. Therefore, that gives them the potential to have a better product, but I do not feel that was a smart business move for him. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I agree with the opinion that it was a poor business move, considering how much of an OEManufacturer Adire has been / will be. As far as the Adire brand, it seems as if standard posturing... especially with the recent 'refocus' on car audio applications. I think Adire will be fine, Dan Wiggins & His partners have their hands & wallets into alot more projects then selling XBL^2 licensing. As far as AA it self... I was never impressed. I have not used a single one of their products. Granted, their prices and marketing were very much on point. I am just not impressed with the idea that (TO ME) seemed as if they were rebadging & chroming adire motors. Again... JUST MY OPINION.

Not sure yet... need more info first.

sorry...?

TL 157 dash - would take ALOT ofpatience and testing, even then, it'd be a stretch TL 157 in the kick - more possible then above, but still rather hard to do. On the AC? Hell, anythings possible. He could hit 157.8 and then 6 hours later hit 153.7 without changing anything. Seriously. -Nick

LMAO... I'd been reading along the thread in which Wiggin's posted that, hee hee. I though "That's gonna leave a mark" Bah, Ascendant, IMO, is just another bandwagon. More power to Kupyers... but another splash in the 12 spoke / xbl / etc pan.

on the no XBL
