    I'm waiting on pricing on the current iteration of a 1,000 watt line with 20mm xmax. The parameters on the sub will be very similar to the Ethos and will use the same exact high quality softparts. Mounting on the 12 inch version will be 5 7/8 inches and due to the motor venting machined at 45 degree angles in the backplate no spacing will be required between the backplate and enclosure for ventilation. As long as pricing is right the below iteration will be available around August.

    Pulled one sub out to use it to test some amplifiers and one of the terminals read 6.2ohms.. So, measured the lead, 1.56ohms. Measured right under the heatshrink where it goes to the terminal, still 1.56ohms. So, i started pushing up and down on the terminal spring and it dropped to 3.0ohms. Did it some more, 2.1ohms. Did it some more, 1.7ohms. Will not go any lower than that. What could be causing this? It will be a while before i have time to test the rest but i may have to tie the main supply wire to the terminal and to the lead after cutting off heat shrink to ensure i get lowest impedance possible.

    Title should read "How does this "Blow-Thru" type box look? 2 12" Ethos. So I wasn't sure if I just wanted to take my rear seat out and do like a half wall with more cone area or not. I came across this idea though before I would do that. I wanna take out the 40 back part of the seat of the 40/60 seats that fold down and then have a long external port from my box come through there and then lay down a board to block the open area so it's sealed off from the trunk. If you don't understand I have pics below to show what I mean. Would this work good though? It would be like porting through the ski-hole armrest in the back seat, but just a larger opening. The external par…

  7. The below are the Large Signal Parameters tested per a klippel analyzer performed by Patrick Turnmire with Redrock Acoustics. For those who do not know what large signal parameters are, they are Thiele Small Parameters of the driver with a large enough signal to excite the cone to normal operating conditions. These are used instead of typical small T/S parameters because they more accurately represent the driver. When the driver is under power at large excursions the parameters can shift a great deal making small signal parameters not an accurate representation of the true nature of the transducer. Later when I get time I will also post small signal parameters to comp…

    Future products will have the option to monitor coil temperature in real time. This may be a desirable feature for people in comps running tons of power. Temperature sensing will be done with a tyke K thermocouple imbedded into the topplate a couple millimeters away from the coil. This can be used with any Type K thermometer.

  13. 1st motor will be a 3inch four layer flat copper coil with 12mm of xmax 2nd motor will be a 3inch four layer flat copper coil with 20.25mm of xmax 3rd motor is a fairly large motor: top and bottom plates are 260mm OD and 50mm thick magnet is 270mm OD and 50 mm thick the first test coil will be 3inch eight layered flat alluminum coil 100mm long (gives around 35 xmax) my magnetics modeler was dead on compared to Klippel results on the Ethos so I can safely say that this motor will be around 34BL with a 1.75 Re giving a motor force factor of 660 All three of these samples will be coming along with the production run of the Ethos which I expect to be in for tax time.
