JJ, I'm glad that you are excited about things and very passionate about speakers, I too was once like that at your age, but here's the thing. I've got close to a thousand emails to answer as I've had near next to no time to do any emails in weeks due to people being out sick, hurt, etc. I don't have time to answer hundreds of your questions a day, you have to take some initiative and read around the internet and educate yourself as I have told you numerous times. This is the do it yourself or "DIY" market where many things you have to read and figure out on your own. The information is out there and free for you to consult, you just have to google for it. If you keep sending the same email over, and over, and over, and over, and over it only makes the pile of email that I have to go through next week even bigger provided I'm not out sick with the plague that is going around the shop. My focus is on machining, building, and making things go out the door right now. Whether it be one handed, sick, hurt or whatever it is that has to be done. Filling orders takes priority over answering the hundreds of questions you have, I'm sorry I am not able to do that. Search around the internet...there's tens of thousands of hours of material for you to read.

Power needed to move the cone to xmax in a particular alignment is RMS power rating. The following is an example. Subwoofer A uses a 8 layer 80mm long coil that weighs 400 grams (total MMs). This sub takes 6,500 watts to hit 35mm in a 5 cubic foot box tuned to 32 hertz. Subwoofer B has the same T/S parameters but uses a 4 layer 80mm long coil that weighs 200 grams (total Mms). Due to the lighter weight this sub only needs 3,200 watts to hit xmax in a 5 cubic foot box tuned to 32 hertz. Couple this with the fact inductance will double with subwoofer A than sub B above 35-40 hertz. Sub B is not only as loud as sub A with 3,000 less watts it will be 2-4 DB louder above 40 hertz due to inductance. This means Sub A would actually need 12,000 watts to be as loud as Sub B on 3,200.

Making 3 threads on more or less the same topic isn't going to help you, if your emails to Fi were valued at all to them they would/will reply.

This is what I am using the sealed Evil box for. These sub are old school subs. 12w0 12ohm.

This is a forum it is for making threads. Just read the noob guidelines (links in my sig) and follow them when you do. Search first, then ask.

I doubt your questions are "stupid", however constantly bombarding someone will end the willingness to help pretty quick. I'm sure most of your questions are like the many we have seen before from someone who's new to the hobby like you. You say you joined the forum so you could talk to Fi, well while they're some of the best and most knowledgable people I've talked to they are very busy AND there are plenty of us on here who can also answer questions. Collectively the members of this forum carry some of the best, most accurate, and well rounded knowledge you'll find anywhere on the Internet. I can guarantee that pretty much any search for information you do on google will have results that include this forum. To that end you can save yourself a lot of trouble sifting through the search engine results and just use the search function that's built into the forum. Please remember that when you do go to ask a question on the forum, be sure to put some thought into what you're asking. Include as much information as possible in your post and you'll get all the help you could ever ask for here. Make sure they're worthwhile and you'll learn more than you could imagine in a shorter period of time than you'll ever believe. There's almost nothing though that's not been pondered, wondered or already asked though so the search should keep you busy for awhile. Be sure to check out the chat room as well, it's amazing what you can ask and learn in real time in there. Welcome to the forum and the hobby.

Jimmy Fallon nails it

I can rate something at a million watts if you want to buy it

wtf did i just watch!

Awesome! I need to post my pics of this system in my build log.

Did you see how old that thread was?

We haven't released them yet, email us your order number we should be able to accommodate you.

I totally agree ! those btl's are sooo loud on this Mmats amp ! But I don't understand why people want to use amps at 0.5 Ohm for daily. Get another amp to play at 2 Ohms, or link 2 smaller amps to achieve a 2 Ohms load. It will be cheaper : less electrical upgrades, les batts to buy, cleaner signal,... More power is not the best or easier way to get louder. I learnt that from my own experience. I gained 4 dbs by changing enclosure. Doubling power was not as effective. So, I took back my original amp, sold the big one, and I 'm wayyyy louder now !!! How are you, bro ?! I need to come back to SXM soon ! I'll let you know !

Night and day. The Evil loves to breath and I should have been slapped for putting it in a sealed box.

If my box was tuned at 35Hz and I was playing 23-24 Hz, I'd be scared too, scared that I was about to piss away a bunch of money.

This is the sort of noob propaganda that has people confused into buying useless things like the DD-1. Some days I really hate the internet.

Whoop de fucking doo. Wow it can take power. Again, completely USELESS spec. Overpriced hype that some will buy into.

Good looking picture means nothing. Hell the Skar stuff generally looks okay and well, you know.

Amazing in what way? Appeal to the stupidity crowd? Power handling is a pointless specification. Stupidest name ever for a woofer as well.

Just showed your immaturity. If you can't follow forum rules pretty sure they aren't going to be interested in hiring you....even I'd you worked for free
