The mj's and maw's are not flying out the door as fast as expected, but not sweating yet. Only 50 some odd people are coming for Arthurs 1 year party on sunday and our house still has that brand new woofer smell....

I made the coils on my 7" Daytons smell before I left school. I had them pushed to the maximum physical limits, any farther and they were smacking the backplate... It got kinda loud...

I've got way to much chit to do before break is over... In the evening hours I have to replace the EGR valve on my truck, run power/gnd wires, finish work on my woofer box, primer, paint, false floor for the amp/epicenter, see the grandparents, and some other chit. All before sunday.

my son's friends were over last night as i cleaned out the garage some. so, before tossing a few subs, i decided to blow them up (all had cones/surrounds that were torn). man, you should've seen those kids. especially when i sent the first memphis pr to it's grave. scared one kid right off the sidewalk, lol! here's the break down...

15" kicker L7 @ 8ohm..wouldn't die. wired for 2 ohm, it lasted 1:45 (minutes, seconds) i'm impressed!

15" memphis pr @ 2ohm and up firing lasted :45. again, i'm impressed!

15" memphis pr @ 2ohm and cone down on the sidewalk lasted :32. impressed again!

15" jlw0@ 4ohm went pfft. maybe :05. there's quality for ya right there. lasted as long as a jensen 10 i smoked last summer.

one kid called his mom and asked if he could stay over as "Damon's dad is blowing up speakers! it's loud and he's plugging them into the wall. it's cool!" so, i'm sure i'm some kinda town psycho now,lol.

was fun. need to do it again.

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee :slayer:

Much better than those Scans, even though I would have had Adam pull them out had I known you were looking at them. Either way the Kevlar Scans are just reconed versions of their old 18w which are pretty antiquated. I however have wood for those Nextels. You get the Excel motor, but without the Mag cone issues and of some of the fatiguing detail of the cone. Those are supposed to be the bomb. I bought my Excels right before they came out :( Of course the Mag cones/copper phase plug are sexier and will mate nicely with the 1189's for some bookshelves for my office!

I don't think I'd hesitate too much (not that I have heard the NX's). A set are going in the car or truck when the Excels get yanked. The Peerless boner has now worn off on me after visiting Madisound. According to them tymphany has them all screwed up now. Sort of afraid they are going to turn into the DIY eD of home audio. Enough to make me ignore them. That pretty much leaves the Rev's or Nextels as the premiums and at this point the Seas is winning for me.

Eton is going to have a new series of drivers soon. I imagine it will put them back in the running, but of course being German they to will be at quite a premium.

I'd also like to hear those 6.5" Aura's, if they made an 8 I think there would be a diyma boner on them but the specs are still incomplete so perhaps not. Not sure why they don't list a power handling, they look beefy and have that sexy Neo mag too.

well my main goal is good midbass and from what i understand the nextel has set the bar pretty much.

and until today i wasn't seriously considering any of them but the aurum cantus mids i want won't be back in stock till may.
