    Welcome to the IHoP

    I moronically dropped mine after nearly 10 years. Cracked one lens. $60 later they had two new lenses, a new hinge and a new nose pad. The latter two they just notice and replaced, not my request.

    Their warranty, service, and return policy was enough for me. Only time you can find an 'approved' deal is when they are out of production models. I've never ever even seen a sale otherwise. Not saying that's definitive, but if there was I'd buy more.
  3. Box is too big. And it was the boxes fault that your L7 sounded bad, mine doesn't have that issue. You'll also gain more output changing the box or could if you chose that as your compromise. As for the PWK designed, that is a bit laughable. A simple 4th order ported enclosure takes the math capability of a 7th grade Algebra C student. Laying out a "box" in wood is about 7th grade shop intro work. And for pretty much all the drivers you listed, the math on the enclosure is a fail. There are ways to get louder, but if your budget is $200 then it's time to address the box. Don't expect miracles though.

    BMW convertible enclosure ideas

    He may not want to hear this, but building a box around drivers already owned in that car is not a good idea. Unless of course his are ideal for said box.

    This is almost the only reason to build a 4th order BP. Hopefully he'll let you beef up the midbass situation to buy some depth in the passband.

    Compared multi-lens colors as well. You already know my choice. Currently limited to only 2 pairs of glasses and it's in both. My next will be gray though, but not until I buy a new fishing boat.

    No and their return policy is tits. I ordered something like 8 pairs and only kept 1, lol I really wanted a couple more, but they looked like shit on me.

    Different gauge inductors will have different R values.

    So I ended up tightening it back up. Another issue though on the Zaph page it has a crossover component list and the crossover schematic has 2 resistors that aren't on the list. Are they not needed? I do have a .1 resistor (that I was going to series with a 3.9 to make the 4.0) but I defitiely don't have the .75. Small values by an inductor? If so, then measure your inductor. If it's off because you bought something different than he was using you can compensate by adding what you need.

    Same here. Likewise. Only exception is something to help me breathe once in a blue moon. Everything else pretty much fixes itself.

    The uncertainty on them is pretty broad, a little unwind only changes things a little but the real question is how close was it in the first place and do you care. Considering you are building a kit it won't be like the original anyways...so no, not a huge worry.

  18. If it's custom, posting the t/s parameters would REALLY help your cause.

    You didn't just build it up without the case? Desktop pc for the win, literally. lol

    BL 15 application questions

    Putting the R in a low ported box is not it's forte. Most likely that is your "lows" problem. I am pretty sure that if he is "hard on stuff" he'll be more than happy with a BL. Could also run a Zcon though.
