HDC3. sorry. Should have specified.

What bolts are needed to secure the basket to the motor? Thread, pitch, grade....

With your dedication I'm sure you will get a 54 out of it, but I think you already know you are going to have to revisit one of the previous changes you made to your car.

When you think its tight wiggle the wire side to side, then tighten again. Keep doing this till you can't tighten it anymore. (about 3-4 times) These terminals are the devil.

I might be wrong, but isn't the SD the actual cone area? Just wondering how much more cone there is with the skinnier surround.

Nice. Whats the Sd compared to the regular 10's?

Manufacturer recommended spl boxes might be large because they still want the box to be safe for the guy who build it to get loud at a comp then assumes it would be safe to pound on it all day since it was so loud. They're not going to recommend a box that will blow the sub playing it daily. From what I've been learning in spl, smaller boxes generally work well, but the smaller you go the more power you need to get the sub moving and pressurize everything. There's always a trade off. Right now I have a 2.4 cube box for a 15" on 4400 rms watts. I want to try a little bigger to leave some more room for the port to breath. Best way to tune is throw out all the calculation programs. Build a medium sized box with some external aero ports, and just start the longest you have and keep working down till you find the sweet spot. I think I'm tuned about 5hz above my peak on my current box. Never actually calculated it.

My poor AQ. Just cause it's sold doesn't mean you can treat it like a wh*re. lol.

I wouldn't worry about it to much. I've been running mine for 2 season in a spl only setup and haven't had a problem yet. I'm just under 5k for power.

Does anyone know the displacement of this woofer? Only reference I found was on the preorder page which mention 0.16 which seems low. Thanks.

How much more power do you need them to take. I haven't heard of to many getting damaged due to power. Would be fun to see a high power wall built with mach5's

yes they have the logos

I powered mine up for the first time today and am really pleased with it. Box is .86 tuned to 38 with 2 3" pvc pipes. Going to finish sealing the box next week now that I know it sounds good. Very happy with my ixl10.

I don't want to put spl10 in the title and get peoples hopes up. Is there a possibility of a spl10 coming out? If not is the motor to big to be convenient to make a custom one? (motor larger than sub would be)

Not too hard to calculate. If it's a 12" cylinder it's 1/2 radius * 1/2 radius * 3.14 (Pi) * the length. We'll say 12" 6*6*3.14*12 = 1356.48 Divide that number by 1728 and you get 0.785 cubic feet.
