Simply adding more power is a very bad way to increase SPL. If you want to get as loud as you can, start buying MDF and experiment. It'll gain you a lot more than just dumping more power into a bad design will.

I prefer them sealed, but that's just me.

I'd order it with a dual 2, I'd be very skeptical of the half ohm rating...

Turn it down?

Why do you want to run more power?

Stossel maybe took that a bit too far, but unless nobody lives in those 4 blocks I agree with the premise.

I heard a dB Drive Platinum 12"... Hated it. Really non-musical to me.

Considering most people are horrible judges of distortion, I don't think that would work. I think you're confused about this...there's nothing that says SQ has to be quiet. Why do you think line arrays and horns that take up people's empty rooms are around Reproducing a full orchestra, for example, takes an assload of efficiency to get to those levels without distortion. That's not what compromises the sound. Where you start running into compromises is when there's a bloated, peaky substage that was never there in the first place...or speaker placements that ruin any chance of a coherent image...

I know of an 8" that'll go from 55Hz to well over 10K, that's under $200, but to get that bottom number you're talking about some big boxes

Laws? What are those? Those damn things that get in the way of enjoying the fun you had...

Still have these 3'ers that I have no plans for...

Or find someone with an old console radio and rip the amp/speakers out of it.

I need to find something to do with these 1 cubic foot boxes I have laying around. Need to find like an 8" full range, just to fart around with...

Actually had a somewhat productive day today. Frightening.

I think there are laws about PIITB in public though.

OK, really loud annoying laughing girl is getting on my nerves...

I have a single 12" in a cabin that's most likely bigger than his...

That's what it said...

Impossible to answer without knowing your musical preferences, or knowing some other setups you've heard and liked...

I'm sure that's what Scottie Johnson got out of it

Not sure how many of you can listen to baroque, but Czech Radio released Bach's complete Brandenburg Concertos in FLAC, which I thought was pretty cool. They also put out the MP3 versions for those not yet enlightened. http://www.rozhlas.cz/d-dur/download_eng

We got the link already...

She's gone from suck to blow...

Very interesting.
