Man there are a lot of Canadians hre. Welcome!

I agree with you, on both points. I am surprised, pleasantly so as well. Indeed. That's the only reason I even mentioned it.

Yikes! That's pretty crazy. Arsenals I presume.

I'm not as big on Steve Meade as many are, but I have to give him credit for calling someone on their shit. http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...st&p=336475 http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...st&p=336477 http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...st&p=336539

You would really have to starve the horns and I'm not sure that would make having horns worthwhile. If you did a pair of SDX7's per channel or more, you would be fine. It would become more manageable if you push your high-pass crossover point lower (and increase the slope) but you're running out of bandwidth on those mini's pretty quickly at that point. Honestly, people spend forever looking for a driver that will pair with a horn easily in a car. In pro audio, it's simple because you do a 10"+ efficient driver in a large enclosure and you're good. But it's a lot harder in a vehicle. I'd take a look at some of the drivers people have used before. There are a few pro audio drivers that have been used before and one in particular that Jason Winslow and a few others thought highly of...might have been B&C but I can't remember. If I do, I'll let you know.

The compliance of the high-roll surrounds isn't great either, in my opinion. Of course, it's not really their technology. All the problems they've been through don't matter to me, but when I read the descriptions on their website...my stomach just turns. Not everyone has to be inventive or ingenious, but they do have to be honest....

Bjorked?

The challenge is efficiency. The SDX7's low(er) efficiency (compared to the CD1's) makes it a very poor match at the crossover frequency. While the SDX7's throw makes for a lot of output at low frequenices, the throw is of almost no advantage up top where excursion is very minimal and efficiency really takes over. You would have to dump a ton of power into the SDX7's to approach the output the CD1's are capable of in that range. You could run the SDX7's up there without much of a problem, particularly if you've got some EQ to use if necessary (really necessary for any driver in any car) but they will be a tough match with horns. This is why you typically see 8" high efficiency drivers paired with horns...because they really are an easier match.

I have wanted one since I first saw prototypes a couple years ago. And the name.....

Tough call, Aaron. I'm a fiscal conservative but a social liberal. I like some of the things the Dems have been saying because they're the typical "feel good" bs but I just worry that all they are talking about is throwing a ton of money out the window. On the other hand, I have a hard time consciously accepting many of the Republican candidates. I didn't mind Edwards when he was running but there's still that fiscal problem... It sounds crazy, but people like Ron Paul are almost viable because their wild streaks are easily tamed in the White House when the senate disagrees. At the same time, I don't know if the senate is ready for a President who wants to reshape most of the financial policies. As far as what impacts me here at home, can we get Bush in there again? That's been nothing but great for us up North.

The intial offering will be a 12" with D2 coils only.

I didn't think anything more than 2GB of RAM worked on XP...pretty sure you have to upgrade to Vista to use that extra 1GB. Could be wrong, though.

Jack Johnson - Sleep Through The Static

Explosions in the Sky - How Strange, Innocence

A little Post-Rock to end the evening, I think.

Refused - Songs to Fan the Flames of Discontent

I don't think there's anything wrong with the product, perse, other than that they've pushed the release date back a few times already.

MSRP is $979.99.

Budget? $100-150? http://www.headphone.com/products/headphon...tal-bithead.php Probably a lot more out there...I don't follow the headphone amp crowd too much. Do a search on head-fi...might be some more stuff of interest for you there.

Slow moving in my friends house today, too. I want them to wake their asses up to make me breakfast.

Budget?

You have a girlfriend now, right?

Have you looked into the Epik stuff? www.epiksubwoofers.com Chad Kuypers of Ascendant Audio's new company.

So today I learned that I am clairvoyant.
