I am the only one who prefers Casino to Goodfellas?

Glad you're ok Jim and my thoughts go to everyone else involved.

Looks good. A well-deadened vehicle is the best starting point for a great stereo.

Good looking shots! I badly want an HDR camera so I can take pictures like this:

This whole CD is great if you like metal: Bury Your Dead - Cover Your Tracks

Same teseract, minus the animation, which really adds so much to the concept. Have you seen the Cube movies?

<jealous>

Much like the ads, it disappears when I log in.

Happy Birthday to a fave poster of mine! Nice new avatar by the way; it looks strikingly familiar

Willing to discuss specifics on the original and new ring design, and how they compare? Can we expect a good drop in inductance, or are we talking about a shorting ring design to simply decrease flux modulation by steering eddy currents back into the gap?

Very nice install; the dust caps are a great added touch.

Yup, Happy Birthday man.

I'm a bit of a beer collector and Red Stripe is not my favourite, but it is great to hold and pound back if you're moving all over the place.

Bad start: I spilled a couple drops of beer on one of my new books: http://www.chapters.indigo.ca/books/item/b...tial+keats'

Time for me to celebrate a good mark in my final. Cheers.

wasn't sure whether to put this in my sig or just clarify that you meant Haha. Touche, sir.

My point was simply that it is very challenging to take a 6" - 8" driver with low inductance and high output down to 50 Hz that allows for a very smooth transition to 4 IDMAX 12's, which is a relatively common style of substage in sq competitions because you need to have the linear displacement to authentically play notes in the 20-25 Hz range with a smooth transition to your midbass. Perhaps simply a difference in opinions on what is required for success, which is perfectly acceptable. Cheers!

These two formulas are the only ones that can be used. So, the question is: how can you possibly have 4 or 5 different possibilities when wiring multiple subs? Well, quite simply: break it down. Let's say there are 4 dvc subs. 2 of them, we will wire in series. The other 2, we will wire in parallel. Then we will wire each sub in the group to the other the same way we wired their voice coils, ie. the first group will be wired to each other in series, the second group will be wired to each other in parallel. Lastly, we will wire the two groups together. You need to calculate each part of the circuit on it's own. To calculate the total resistance, we must know the resistance of each group first. To know the resistance of each group, we must know the resistance of each sub. To know the resistance of each sub, we must know the resistance of voice coil. If you change the way a particular step is wired, then you change the final resistance. edit: That made sense when I first typed it out, though I'm not sure it still does. Please post if you need further clarification.

I've been looking at some of those Hemp designs...I prefer my Fostex Sigmas though, no whizzers I might try a pair of those OB some day though...I'm getting the urge to be openly baffled Every body is: it's the next TL.

I don't know any 6.5" or 7" drivers that can cross over to an adequate substage at 50 Hz with a reasonable top end. The closest I have come across are the Poly's and Extremis, but only in a MTM in the house where I have one or two subs. My suggestions were based off of what would make for a driver capable of performing extremely well, audibly and in competition.

Yup, they've sold a ton of the FR125's and WR125's, both individually and in the Exodus Audio and RAW Acoustics packages. Hemp Acoustics makes a pleasant and efficient full range 6.5" (yes, complete with whizzer cone). In one of the designs from the frugel-horn guys, you can jam pretty good with a tube. Personally, I'm not a huge fan of most whizzer designs and prefer small drivers (ie. CSS's offerings) in rear-loaded horns. I can't wait for some more small driver offerings.

I noticed the board stats don't show that anymore and I loved looking at it everyday.

Ouch, that hurt. Jerk. Just jokes, of course. Glad to see you here.

Hope your truck enjoys the "dp"...lol.
