Hey there! I have this awesome little subwoofer that i have barely used more than a few hours - and the surround in a small area is comming up from the landing. i heard chuffing in a sealed box with the grommet and thought there was an air leak. upon further inspection i came to notice that the surround was not fully adhered to the basket surround landing! this is a project for a customer of mine, and i have already sent an email into you via your web support contact form - but this is kind of an emergency, as i am supposed to be finishing the fiberglass box for him this weekend - i am about 50% done with it and i am going to push forward with the baffle and port still - but i need to know what you recommend to fix the problem. i do have some bob smith industries IC-2000 ca glue that i could use to re-glue this area - but i did not want to start putting glue down without express permission from you guys because i do not want to be liable for any warranty items - just in case. i have plenty of expierence at putting speakers together, i just want to make sure its not an issue. also, you may want to put an addition to your website about the specs of the overall diameter of the speakers WITH the gasket... i added 1\4" to the OD of the speaker when i made my flush baffle, and it does not fit with the gasket on - its real close, but im not about to jam it down there. maybe just add a line "overall speaker diameter with mounting gasket 8.5" or something. just food for thought. cheers- andy

ok, now is it OK for me to apply this glue without any reprocussions to the warrantyfailure of this speaker? because i will repair it to the best of my abilities - but i do not want to be responsable if the glue fails. thanks for getting back to me so quickly

and why not IC-2000? http://www.bsi-inc.com/Pages/hobby/ca.html

nick, driver sounds amazing. no 15's though? i was thinking a pair IB would be fantastic. i have some IDQ15's as it stands and 1kw for them... but as i was reading i was thinking a pair of mags wouild be real nice. is IB even an option? and why no 15s?

so. no midbass then

looking damn good tom. i was gonna say, i didnt know where the engine went lol im sure you can fix that. im not a big engine person, im more of a body\interior kinda guy myself. i just never had a car that i could work on. if i lived round ya id defintaly give ya a hand. good stuff man. cant wait to see where this goes. are you just restoring it - or do you have further plans for her?

thanks mike exactally what i needed to know

buddy of mine is looking at the RLp 18, or a pair of RLp15's. he is worried about upper frequency extension, i planned on building a box with a swappable\pluggable port. i was wondering what people are using for box sizes, and what the best volume would be for a sealed and ported box. any recommendations\expierences would be greatly appriciated. thanks a bunch

i dont know about you. but my idqs can play well over 100hz. i dont have the crossover set that high, but its got a low slope. but 99% of people arent purists. they want the subs to play a bit of upper frequencies. most people dont want to spend $300 on their front stage. thats life. nevermind i even asked. i was just curious about people who owned the 18 and had expierence with box types.

thanks guys i didnt ask for oppinions about his midbass setup. he will be getting a sufficent frontstage. i asked about what box volumes would yield a smooth frequency extension above 50hz. so, for people who have expierence with the rlp18, what kinds of boxes have you put it in, and what sounded the best. i know what midbass is guys. i dont have personal expierence with the rlp 18, i was asking for advice on what box volmues and port tuning\size would be a good start.

80-100 low mid bass

i want a replacement for the IDQ8. make it play from 50hz to 1.5~2khz. make it about 3" deep if possible make it available in 2ohm SVC lets see the sensitivity stay above 88ish db, as high as possible make it suitible for IB off axis doors thats what i want out of a new driver. if all the requirements cant be met, then oh well. but another 8" sub can be made quite easily for a few bucks, i know theres a market hole for a good midbass 8" 2ohm speaker for car audio - theres tons of 8ohm high efficency\frequency range midbass' out there, but it does not help when all we have for them is like 30w and they are like 5" deep. lets see what you can do. i will definatly buy a pair.

eaither or any comments?

that is just incredible. so thats a ribbon tweeter on there? do these come in 8" sizes hahah!!

how about the speed demon?

as the topic states, i have the two subs in a glassed enclosure atm, but my mom threw away my boxes. so i lost the spec sheets. does anyone have the manual that came with the sub, im pretty sure they are all listed in there. thanks

thanks i had all the pdf's at my old job, but i didnt save my email when i left. *sigh*

you are nooo helllllp at allll evnin bumparoo.

if he goes, take a picture of captain canada and post it!

ive used radioshack, walmart, and high quality stingers. and ive never heard\noticed a difference... care to elaborate...

there is no way in hell you used 5 gallons of resin on that single box, and theres no way in hell it comes anywhere near 150lbs dude. and if it does, then its over-engineered like 1000% seiously should only take a gallon or two max of resin, and it should weigh about 35lbs at most when your done... i was going to say, all the wood, id sand all the edges rounded, and all the 90 degree corners like the one in the picture directly to the left of the baffle, id of cut a nice arc into it... that edge is gonna look stupid when its all finished.. could have (cosmetically) looked alot better. but it should perform quite well.

i was gonna say, solder the two wires together (twist first) and if they dont fit, take the soldered end to the grinding wheel

very awesome. the LMT circlejerk has begun! cant wait till its my turn

lol. i can probably fit a 10 back there with a little effort! got a pic of the mounting locations? this gonna be an IB setup?

im looking at doing some non-optimal boxes (smaller) to proove this sub is not for the small install. looking at 1cube, 2cube, and 3cubes all sealed. and possibly a 3 cube tuned low, and high (just for kicks) i should have 800~1kw on tap, relativly low power, if this had of happend last month, id of had a viper2500d to slap on this sucker (as i was going to order an RLS, but i just dont have the $$ anymore) and each box will go on the TL and if the rest of the install is up to snuff, (crossover is back and everything is installed) ill to some SQ testing to see how this compairs. but it should be quite fun i reckon.
