Cone area FTW!

I see a problem with cancellation in the future, but you never know till you try.

Power ratings are based on the coil and cooling of the subwoofer, not cone size.

Seal it with Titebond, MDF is porous and Titebond will actually penetrate the wood. Not just bond the surface.

Welcome to SSA. Your L5 failed for a reason, don't let a Q suffer the same fate. Repost in the Fi section with your equipment list and specifications on your enclosure, and we'll try to show you how to prevent a failure in the future.

Welcome to SSA.

Words of wisdom!

Four 12's will have more motor force, heat dissipation, cone area, but Type-R's suck nuts. Think of something else.

Business relationship? or relationship between the drivers? Let's go with both.

6th order bandpass enclosures are hard to get right, and there are no accurate calculators so you'll have to crunch the math yourself.

That can be done with some math

No lag here. Mark get on the T/S for the XCON!

Awesome Mark! Yet another reason SSA pwns!

Why exactly would that make it better? When they are mounted at right angles, they are very prone to failure due to vibration. When they are mounted straight(or almost ) up, the stress is taken off the legs of the mosfets. That is one very fast way to get an idea for build quality. That's what I was thinking, I just wanted a technical explanation.

That's what I was getting at actually

Why exactly would that make it better?

Use epoxy, always.

Would you tell us the relationship between you and Fi/AA then? It looks like a very nice driver

I doubt your a Q buyer, look at the BL.

I still have NO desire to buy one Although if I was given one I'd love to test your power ratings.

Wow, that was very close actually. When I drove up to Idaho for the weekend, I saw an Audi R8 pulled over in the road. Damn that's a sweet car. My neighbor has one, doesn't drive it in the winter though. It would perform well in the winter, AWD!

Hahahahahahaha! I'll wait for the HP Slate now, they'll probably get that right.
