Maybe I'll become your SoCal rep, I'll drive into every shop with a single 15 ported and tuned to 24Hz powered by a Viper 2500.1 (gained down of course) and while they are wondering what that warm sensation in their undies is, I'll sign them to a 4 year contract.

You do realize that with 2 p's you are talking $550 and with two s's you are talking $1100 right? I voted 2 s's since we are talkin about your money.

I can hardly wait to see the roof pron. I can just see it now, your woofers moves over 3 inchs and your roof over two............

Mike whatever you do, please don't make performance hindering allowances just to appease a few who are worried about xy or z parameters. Screw the numbers so long as it is a monster which from your descriptions it sounds like it will be. I know I personally trust in you to come up with a monster without adding my 2 cents on x parameter, even if I knew what the damn parameters meant.....

Freakin great work Mike. As for the protos I'd only be into them if they were even more extreme then the final which I don't think they are gonna be.

I had planned on getting a caprice but I don't think that is gonna happen any more so I am stuck with my existing car, a 95 Acura Integra. So I plan on getting a new sub but only one. And I want to use my existing amp, a Viper 2500.1 (1500x1@4ohms or 2500x1@2ohms), well because I have it and I don't want it sitting collecting dust. So I am looking for a single sub that will hump like two and take massive amounts of power. And to make it even more difficult, one that will operate at one of the above ohmages. And I do not have a problem setting gains really really low to compensate for a woofer that can't take as much power as I have. New or old.

You ain't the only one brother

My biggest issue with building a ported box for the 10 is that I was planning on a custom fiberglass job and I don't wanna waste time and money on a maybe. But maybe I'll skip the glass for something simpler like a box. How big would the ported box have to be for the 10, just ball park....I know you guys charge for full on plans and I don't wanna mess with your cash so just a ball park so I can do some leg work.

I am 100% sure I want more than the 10 can provide. At a bare minumum I want a lowlowlow playin 12 ported.

I don't ever intend to turn it all the way up. I like to have headroom so that nothing is stressed. I am also trying to keep it at the 1500 range rather than the 2500 range. I had intended this amp for a 9C1 caprice which comes stock with a 150amp alternator and then I was gonna get a nice batt and call it a day. But now I may just shelve the viper til next year and run my boltar for bass. The boltar would give me 700x1@4Ohms. So now the quesiton changes to if you had 700 watts at 4Ohms and a limited space of 3 cube total would you run a single 12 ported or a single 15 sealed? Then with 700 watts, which brand?

I currently have a single JL Audio 10w6 v1 getting about 350 watts and it is not nearly enough. I have heard 2-12" L7's in a teg and that was good but too much upper bass and not enough low low end. Adire Brahma is out for making some guy wait over 6 months for a recone (they should have given him a new one) RE XXX & MT are out because they need too much space and I will only have at most 3 cube total not including port area if I were to even entertain ported, really at this point I am looking at sealed. TC Uber is too hard to find and I was seeing mention of 4-4.5 cube boxes, not to mention the vc config is not right for my needs AA Avalanche is too weak and does not strike me as a whoop 2 with 1 solution, although I have no experience with them they just do not exude confidence, not to mention the fact that I am still awaiting a reply to an email sent several months ago. IA DP...well just seems like I can do better for the money... SI's new mag is a possibility but I am unsure of box req's and for $500 I think I'd rather have an SS RL-s. SS RL-s is definately a possibilty but again box req's have me concerned. SS RL-i 10's or 8's, well I am pretty sure I would need a new amp to run these not to mention quite a few to equal output of a single 15 or 12. Memphis mojo, I'll have to check it out.... H2's have me scared because of that guy at CA.com that has killed like 6 of them. The Crytal Comp is one I have never heard of so I will check it out too. What about older woofs? jugernaut? Shocker? ????

Just like the title says does anyone have any first hand experience with the prototype TC Sounds LMT drivers. What were they like first hand? What size was it and what would you compare it to from your own experience? I am trying to figure out if the SS LMT is gonna really be a viable single woofer solution for me or if I should go with a dual setup of lesser woofers. Thanks Jerry

Yeah no doubt. Hell a Mr 2 with dual 8's must be sumfin because those damn things are smaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllllllll. I likey though.....I just saw one a couple of months ago that looked sweet (the last model not the most recent style) and it sounded like the Cosworth on "Getaway in Stolkholm 2". Hell we were in medium traffic and that thing was like wwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa pssssssssseww wwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa psssssssewwwww WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAa as it took off (I was rushing to catch up and get a better look so I guess he thought I was ricer boy who wanted to race)

I like the silver. Any chance we can get a SoundSplinter logo contest going with a grand prize of a LMT (maybe the final proto)? I know your tired of people calling it an X!! Come'on Mike!

Would you guys say slightly different or so different it is not even the same speaker?

Feel sorry for him if he is flying cattle class. F'n coach sould be outlawed as cruel and unusual!!! It's downright inhumane!!!

I think mrray compared the RL-p to a XXX simply because that is what he had available . Yes a SX would be a better match-up, especially when considering how much more power a XXX can take but you gotta remember mrray did not get paid nor did anyone up the equipment for his comparisson.

Okay I change my vote to Hawaii too........actually I don't care where it's at so long as the LMT is the guest of honor.

I wrote AA off a couple of months ago. I sent Chad an email and have to date not received a response. And then to make things worse their woofers look whimpy with the singe magnets . I can't have something that gay in my car!!! SS....foe-life (insert bumpin smiley here - how the hell can you have a car audio forum with no bumpin smiley......)

If we get to test drive her I vote that we meet in Hanford CA at Jordans House

wow that is one schweet lookin amp.

If your the responsible type then set it up with a VM and you'll be cool, if your irresponsible then don't bother as you'll end up pushin her too far.

trunk?.........I don nee no estinking trunk!!!!

Just from his description alone and what the original LMT proto's look like it'll probably displace 1 cubic foot.....lol.....(yeah I am putting a 10 on it but big as hell should be about right). And it is a 5 stack magnet. I think he mentioned like 14 inch mounting depth. Think of it as a small round waste basket that is under your desk at work.
