Hehe OMGS

thats cuz dd uses some podunk cones. The full size cf dustcap is supposed to help some. You could switch to a kevlar cone one, or if u talk nice to somebody from another company maybe they could make you a recone with a cone that wont do that. I know of 2 off hand

Nicks email never works, I believe he needs a yahoo address for that very purpose

the room name is actually caraudio

hopefully the sub comes with a chill pill /thread

Just an FYI I waited 2 months for my 1508s from DD. 11 days is nothing to complain about

Ok I promised a tuturial on how to package a heavy item so here it is. I recently had a pair of Shocker Sig Motors ( 80lbs Each) shipped to me. I explained to the shipper my technique and once again it worked flawlessly. Motors before shipment First thing you need to do is locate a box that is around 2-3 inches larger than the item you are packaging all the way around. Then you stuff the bottom of that box with a layer of foam pool floats (yes the kind like this) after stuffing the bottom full of noodles sit the item you are shipping in the box and fill the sides with pieces of foam. After that you need to put a layer of foam on top inside that box. You want this box to fit extremely tight so the foam compresses and keeps the item from moving. Next you need to find a box that is around 4-5 inches larger than the other box all the way around. You must line the bottom of this with foam also. Then set that box inside like you sat your original item in the 1st box. again line the top of this box with more foam and once again u want it to be a very tight fit. if you have odd shapes you need to fill in these, like if your shipping a sub and the basket is much larger diameter than the motor you can fill the large voids with LARGE bubble wrap. The smaller bubbles dont do much in the way of protecting heavy items. Another useful matieral for shipping items with a lot of 90 degree angles is insulating foam you can find at lowes. This comes by the sheet and is around 8 dollars for a 2x8' peice of foam i usually go by the rule 1" of foam for every 15 lbs but this is by no means perfect. remember your package should withstand a 4' drop. here is the kinetik 2400 getting the foam treatment 2" on each side on the inner box then for the outer box i used about 2 inchs of packing peanuts all the way around with cardboard spacers in there to keep the box from moving around

Power update - 16v dcr .35 rising to 1.25 4200 watts and a broke mt and a few more clicks on the volume knob to go

Here is a tutural on how to properly package heavy items I wrote http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=9695

Here is another method of shipping motors that follows the same technique, but doesnt use foam pool toys inner box filled with 2 layers of pink insulation foam from lowes ( same as the blue ) inner box inside of outer box with 2 layers on all sides top layers outer box

Another note on shipping large subwoofers Fi seems to have that type of shipping down pat, but i still dont trust it 100%. They use a crate made out of 2x4s and 1/4" wood along with foam. I have never been a fan of these crates, but as long as you properly use foam and other materials to brace it should be fine. Your best bet when shipping is to double box and always use OEM packaging along with extra for added security. I find good packaging to be a much better investment than insurance.

MTX 9500s will die on that power, BTL's with full cooling should be fine with that amount of power as long as your not anidiot with the volume knob

how about some more power numbers input voltage 16.8 dropping to 16.0 Volts | amps | power | actual impedence 76.8 | 55.6 | 4270.08 | 1.381294964 still has more power to give i just need a sub that can handle it the mt 12 didnt like gettign 4200 watts dropped on it

another note, the sub ran out of voicecoil before the amp ran out of juice, theres much more in there

Id like to do one on a SSA sub

i got 2500 watts @ 2.5 ohms on 16v out of mine

Not much else to say here. Look for a full review up in the coming week. Level 4 12 D2 ohm coils Very nice packaging Vinyl graphic included always a plus 2" thick cardboard Sexy Dustcap Close up of raised lettering

ill try and get something close to 12v test for you tomor. Along with 16v numbers

Flatwind coil shot Spider landing

I played with 2 of em yesterday, couldnt find my clamp meter to get power readings. Look for an update in teh future

too bad the owner of wmd is a blatant liar

i wish you wouldve came to the show today loser
