IIRC the rainbow SLCs use some small very inexpensive (electrolytic caps and very small wire awg inductors... I saw a pic of one that melted nicely) parts... So the people would rather us use small parts than higher quality parts? Or somewhere in between? ~18 awg inductors and mylars?

i edited it <{POST_SNAPBACK}> A midwoofer with no LPF... I'm not a fan of this idea particularly for a car environment... Problems with beaming and getting good integration upon install... Some loss of sound quality... It would be small and very inexpensive, but not a good system of tradeoffs if you ask me unless you are dealing with a more limited bandwidth driver that is very well behaved or are trying to make a set of coax speakers under $50/pair.

You guys crack me up Lets make them pink for extra WAF

CEO's of large companies shouldn't be arguing back if they were any more mature than a teenager. John <{POST_SNAPBACK}> He didn't argue, he presented pure factual information. In turn this completely and utterly showed the kid's lack of knowledge... and he completely owned him. End of story. nG <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I don't think I would go so far as to say 'pure factual' they were both spinning the hell out of information in a very bias way... Dan just has more background and experience Edit: The hex former is the only thing that Dan spun I feel has any impact on me directly and I have no interest in picking his posts apart and applying my own spin... I guess that is just a personality trait.

Trying to correct things is immature when you don't understand the whole story... Matt should have never commented in that thread... Not only did he not know all the details about the design in question, he can

Yea I told matt to stay off the forums. I'll have a better idea of when a production piece will be ready for him this weekend I hope... There have been so many set backs I'm starting to get used to it... I'm just glad we decided that taking preorders earlier was a bad idea

Well the prices are back up in the air, they could drift down from what they used to be, now that we are casting the baskets in house as well. We are going to use the LPG tweeters: http://www.madisound.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi...6.11528&pid=635 http://www.madisound.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi...6.11528&pid=637 We are working on a tweeter but it will not be out in time for the component sets... The LPG tweeters are rather nice for now.

lol he is good at handling the build and has some good ideas to add... not so good at PR and has a low tolerance for being jerked around (what started us looking at the idea of going in house) -- We have both learned an insane amount through this whole process... Both of us are very interested in research and we are interested in the same fields. This is an evolutionary stage of the company; in 1-2 years I expect things to look very, very different.

http://www.caraudioforum.com/vbb3/showpost...8&postcount=142 Finally got on <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Matt disappeared from that thread when I found out that he was running his mouth and acting very unprofessional. In short I suggested that he shut up. I wasn't making comment since I'll be getting an omega to npdang to clear all this crap up with hard independent measurements... Zaph/Jim will also be at the top of the list. I'm not sure as to the source of the graph anomalies, I would guess that the roughness in the curve would result from nonlinearities in the suspension when the surround ran into some basket spokes (this frame was hand welded after all to help speed up the design process)

Sorry, it kind of slipped my mind to ask him about it when he was on earlier... I was too distracted by distributors and keeping everything rolling in the right direction for production...

Just wait for the webpage or beg Matt to take more... It seems like he hates taking pictures though I have a picture of a previous assembly with a normal surround instead of inverted if people are curious about what the cone looks like... If you look closely you can see the cone in the pics though...

sorry i think im bling but whats the power handling? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Sry there were a lot of specs posted it was hard to make sure it all was up there 90w of power handling (A conservative rating)

Now THAT will be very usefull actually here in a few months... Thanks for the offer we will keep it in mind for sure. Drop me a PM with how much time costs.

2.6" deep 6.5" with 11.5mm one way 6.5" midbass/midrange good untill 7khz. The 4 ohm has an f3 of 53hz IB. .4-.7cuft suggested for kicks The 8 ohm extends to 40hz in a ported alignment 1.4 cuft tuned to 38hz. Or to 58hz in a ported alignment 0.6 cuft tuned to 50hz While this is a very exceptional midbass, the Omega is superior both in terms of midrange quality and output full range. This design was created since we realize not everyone can fit the omega... This mid also has a black paper cone Aluminum former (non hexy) Very high temp 10 layer coil (250C, 300C max wire with 600C adhesive) The Delta also comes in both a 4 and 8 ohm variety and is self shielded for use in home audio or car audio. The 8 ohm version has an aluminum phase plug. Fs = 44.49 Hz Qms = 3 Vas = 44.54 liters Cms = 1.6 mm/N Mms = 8 g Rms = 0.745 kg/s Xmax = 11.5 mm P-Dia = 133.5 mm Sd = 140 sq.cm P-Vd = 0.161 liters Qes = 0.744 Re = 3.2 ohms Le = .06mH BL = 3.1 N/A Qts = 0.596 1-W SPL = 89.26 dB These are the t/s for the 8 ohm version: Fs = 39.79 Hz Qms = 3.02 Vas = 44.54 liters Cms = 1.6 mm/N Mms = 10 g Rms = 0.828 kg/s Xmax = 11.5 mm P-Dia = 133.5 mm Sd = 140 sq.cm P-Vd = 0.161 liters Qes = 0.417 Re = 6 ohms Le = .11 mH Z = 8 ohms BL = 6 N/A Qts = 0.366 1-W SPL = 90.32 dB The 4 ohm is $72/ea The 8 ohm is $75/ea These prices are for the preorder only, which will begin when the webpage is updated.

.03mH Its not rly a dedicated midrange it is indeed a midbass driver. Without any boost or cabin gain the f3 is 70hz IB. IB this driver has more output with 1 watt of input then the extremis with 1 watt from 15hz on up even though it has a higher f3... so with a little bit of bass boost or a linkwitz transform you can make these extend as low as you want. Simply because the xmax is there though doesn't mean you have to use it, just some people like to listen to their music at rather insane levels... Not to mention you can still run it into xmax even with a 2nd order highpass at 50hz IB with its minimum projected max power. We still have to give it a stress test to find out how much power it will take before it blows.

This is the Omega, the most excessive 6.5" midbass/wideband driver we could manage for the target price for now. I stress this is an exceptional driver even for dedicated midrange use and not just a brute of a midbass driver! It does very nicely down to 70hz IB in car and 45hz in a ported floor standing speaker at home. It could also be used effectively as a wideband driver with a supertweeter. It comes in 2, 4, and 8 ohm versions. The 8 ohm version has an aluminum phase plug. Here are the t/s for the 2 ohm: Qes = .537 Qms = 3 Qts = .455 Fs = 54.33 hz Vas = 45.88l Xmax = 22mm Re = 1.6 ohms Le = .05mH Sd = 140 cm^2 Bl = 2.3 Tm 93.4 dB/w/m 100.4 dB/2.83v Here are the t/s for the 4 ohm: Qes = .545 Qms = 3 Vas = 45.85l Xmax=22mm Fs = 54.33 Re = 3.2 ohms Le = .03 mH VERY low due to underhung design and 1mm thick copper on the entire pole. Bl = 3.23 Sd = 140 cm^2 93.34 dB/w/m 97.33 dB/2.83v Here are the t/s for the 8 ohm: Qes = .309 Qms = 3 Qts = .28 Fs = 47.87hz Vas = 42.66l Re = 6.4 ohms Le = .06 mH Bl = 6.46 Tm Sd = 135 cm^2 93.83 dB/w/m 94.81 dB/2.83v Thermal power handling is still untested however 125 watts is a very safe guess... I wouldn't be surprised to see 250 due to this former and high temp vc though. Black paper cone Hex aluminum former (patent pending) for better cooling and lower mms for any given rigidity/strength. 10 layer very high temp voice coil The wire itself is rated for 250C sustained 300C peak, the adhesive used maintains full strength until 600C. 1mm thick copper sleeve on the entire pole .5mm thick sleeve on the top plate ID Both sleeves lower inductance and distortion to an extremely low level 3" OD N42 neo magnet Underhung design with the most xmax of any 6.5" driver Xmag is 23mm Xsus is 22mm where the surround comes to a screeching halt, makes some noise as a warning, and if you push it too far it would be the first thing to break. The surround has very little influence to the kms curve until about 20mm after which it quickly becomes the dominating restoring force. The 5.75" diameter spider will give quite a nice looking kms curve, I suspect the best of any 6.5" or 8" in production at the moment. It sounds *modeless* at least until 4 khz and still sounds quite good full range (good untill between 10-14khz). We will get full FR and distortion measurements in a week or 2 when we get the first production baskets in

Hello everyone! I am Dylan Matlow, co owner of OlogyAudio, LLC. and we are finally coming out with our first products... Two diffrent 6.5" extreme midwoofers and matching component sets. We (Matthew Rich, myself and our staff) are our own build house and are coming into this industry with a DIYer's passion to revolutionize the industry. Our highest priority is to bring some radical new technologies to market as quickly as possible and in the process give people great deals on some rather cool stuff to help fund the tech development I'll talk more about the mids when we have our own forum but here are the t/s on the Omega: Qes = .545 Qms = 3 Vas = 45.85l Xmax=xmech=surround hitting its limits=22mm Fs = 54.33 Re = 3.2 ohms Le = VERY low due to underhung design and 1mm thick copper on the entire pole.
