Could you perhaps graph these out so I can compare, or tell me why you believe the the AE will blow this one away? It's not too late for me to cancel the order.

I'm definitely going to have to figure what to do to reinforce my door panels. Any ideas? Hehe you're building a ported enclosures right? 25 lbs of driver plus several more pounds in fiberglass on the hinges is what i'd be possibly be concerned about.strengthening the door panels isn't really necessary since the driver is in an enclosure. just make sure you secure the enclosure properly (i'd consider rivnuts and maybe some kind of rubber washer between the enclosure and door). i would still apply cld tiles, butyl rope, mlv, and ccf in the usual manner. obviously the mlv wouldn't need to cover the lower part of the door panel where the enclosure will be. Ok, for sure. I'll try to gather supplies during the wait

Why thank you Monte!!! Haha. Good to see a positive post every once in a while I believe these will suit my needs quite! I was wanting a mid bass driver that can play well up to 1khz. This speakers offers that. The mid bass region is not so crucial for me as I will have cabin gain helping out with that, and well, while demoing, you won't here much of mid bass as the subwoofer will mask most of that sound. It appears that the lack if mid bass specific region is the only downfall of this driver. That is the compromise I was willing to take, and it fits the others bills quite nicely. Well besides weighing in at 25 pounds!!

Stamped steel plated baskets are showing up everywhere now! Lol. Thanks for the share!

Saying 95% of Fi speakers catching fire is due to user error is a pretty bold statement sir.

Are you saying the specs contradict itself or the specs contradict it sounding good? Yeah, it's goona be hefty. Hopefully my fiberglass can come through on this.

Wow, love it!

Um... Lol. Ask for the FOAD leads maybe? Had a local IAK memeber burn his up at 6% volume so..

Wow! He is getting big!

As I begin my adventure in the SQ lanes, I have been doing a lot of research and studying. My general synopsis is, for SPL, in a vehicle, we want the most reflective material possible, such a concrete, or marble, so that there is no loss in energy. Obviously this is not practical, but in this example, it will work. Ok, and for SQ, we want the total opposite, we want complete absorption so that none of the higher frequencies reflect, which can cause interference, overlap, and many other issues. From what I've seen, things such as egg carts, foam, or MLV would be the fix. So what I am asking, what would be the best and most particle material to use in the vehicle for sound quality purposes? Particularly for the dashboard area to prevent reflection from the windshield. From what I've been told, one of the major goals is to get the sound stage to be perceived as front and center, (pointing at the center dash). But once you get the sound up there, there still may be some issues that needed to be ironed out due to sounds reflecting from the windshield. So I guess I'm asking what would be the best dampening material to address said issue? And again, this is all round 1 for me, so if my thinking thus far is flawed, please advise. As a side note, I've noticed the difference first hand. I was giving an demo to a good friend of mine, and he pointed out that I have too much reflection from the dashboard area. We placed a few of my heavy T-shirt/clothing on the dashboard, which is also made out of plastic, which is very reflective, and I immediately heard a sound difference. That sound difference, can anybody explain to me exactly what is going on here? Like, the science behind it or a good description. I was taking a look at this particular site, under "absorption". http://whealy.com/acoustics/behaviour.html

I would highly suggest not to do so. I guess you "could" send you zcon to PSI, then order zv4 softparts, and send that to them as well. But, even still, the measurements might not line up, and could sound like poop. Well my voice coil is all messed up right now on the Zcon,so I'm thinking about an upgrade. I have it running on a 3500 no clipping and not ran below 12 volts I don't know why the coils are going out. One of the coils are reading 20.8 and changing constantly but the other coil is 2.4 a sign that it is also going out I just want something that can handle the power Lol. Installation issue man, not sub. I played my zcon full tilt on my bc5500 for 8 months.

to accommodate port length in tight spaces, you can always use elbows.

whoa! haha. Now I can see what you mean. Hmmm, so essentially, there is no space in my vehicle to properly approach an effective method of reducing high frequency reflection?

Is there any other applicable products that can do a better job to help with high frequency reflections in a vehicle?

Do exactly this.

lol

Ok thanks, I will look into dashmat for my particular vehicle.

awesome
