Some speaker porn!!

This mornings fun. I started over with new birch plywood for my .8 cu enclosures. As the last wood was leftover scraps that was deemed unfit. I'm much happier with this batch. Although the Lowes birch was shit, so far from perfect. Good enough for the girls I live with anyways! All the biscuit joints plunged in!! Now time to bust out Mikey!s router and blast some holes!!

Funny, a youtube video of some FI's brought me here.

Thanks for the awesome home and sound equipment buddy!!! I am in love with my ICON's. Crazy I have been here 9 years already. lol #SSAFamily

Yes, the steady flow and the #SSAFamily (i've tagged it haha) keeps this forum going. Keep in mind, SSA is the only place that has a real store (in NY), a real online store, a massive forum (17 years old now), an actual brand, a FB page, twitter, IG etc. No one else has the all encompassing approach we do that I know of.

There is a big explosion of 4th orders and 6th orders as of late. Much of it is coming from cone area needs and the goal of having a hard peak in a small window (or bandpass). Many of these guys are doing it for demos. Some though are doing mega numbers as they are reaching different levels we did when we were doing this 20 years ago. With many magnitudes more motor force and 10x the power with ease, they are pushing limits I wasn't close to reaching. So a few guys I know are doing it also for a physical loading wall to help mechanical handling as thermal capacity of subs today are worlds greater than what they used to be. We had a guy out of Illinois/Florida, do a 6th order with 6 Zcon 15's. I was very impressed by the range of the enclosure. Yes, it was over 157db I think when full tilt, but the sound and smoothness in transition was better than the 4th orders at that same show.

Happy VD boys!
