That means you get a little taste first, let you get your feet wet, before you get your hands on full awsomeness.

I have a ton of motors I'm getting samples for. A complete line up for each brand. DSS, which is direct only, will be a bargin banging on a budget brand using oem frames, softparts, and the same size motor for each size driver in their corresponding lines which will be based on xmax. The pinnacle line will start off with oem frames, ect. But will grow into Osd tabbed frames, custom soft parts, faraday rings, ect. Both brands will be targeted to excel in the lower octaves. The market is turning from the old school driver with high 30's f3 and letting cabin gain compensate for output, to drivers with very low f3's to get more of the "LOWS" emphasized. And I'll through in an unnecessary driver for marketing like the MMAG with a motor force factor of 3,000 or the Trident which will more than likely weigh 150 pounds. Below is another line which will be more useful to the everyday joe. It uses and 8 layer copper coil, 30mm pole vent, and massive amounts of chamfering to eliminate mechanical compression. Also just like this model all MMAG sub used for daily applications will have copper faraday rings throughout the entire stroke of the coil, all the way from the frame down to the back plate. They are shown in the below density model.

The large BL you are thinking about is a different driver that is coming along with the Ethos order. It has a Motor force factor of nearly 3,000 (don't remember the exact number) You only need a certain amount of motor force to drive a particular moving mass. That figure is enough for the moving mass for this driver. It's basically the same as other higher end drivers with the same amount of moving mass but this driver has it spread over nearly 150mm versus only 20 or 30mm. To get this much xmax on a typical overhung motor would be physically impossible due to the massive amount coil mass it would take. And an underhung motor would not work either bc you would not be able to saturate a top plate thick enough to achieve linear BL.

Xmax is 82% BL or 10% harmonic distortion caused by the motor. The 70% BL is an estimate. Il know exactly when it's klippeled. I'm sure you'll drive it past 70% so you'll get the extra 5mm out of 70mm one way your looking for.

maximal nominal electrical input power "PEmax" which is defined as the power delivered by a low impedance source providing the effective voltage urms into a resistor having the same value as the voice coil resistance. In other words maximum power not accounting for the driver's impedance changes. This power rating is for that enclosure only. It just gives me a rough idea how large I need to make the coil.

No, the weight of a 4 inch coil outweighs its advantages. You need a certain amount of motor force to move the moving mass at different alignments. And there just isn't enough "L" increase to compensate for the weight increase.

I'm hoping to have it ready by then end of the year. I've got a lot of stuff brewing. It just depends on how everything falls into place.

I had to make the port big enough so I could crawl in and hook the wires up. It's 5 ply Baltic birch. I buy it from a wholesaler. It's not the cheap shit homedepot sells.

12's are most popular so they will come first. Ill have around 50 grand in tooling in each size driver. Everything from the surround down to the screws that hold the motor to the basket is being designed from scratch specifically for each sized driver.

I haven't calculated it but if I had to guesstimate I'd say 110-120 lbs for the motor.

The dust caps are 6" convex. The factory is having a hard time getting the lettering to come out right due to the high arc on the cap so we are still working on that. The lettering will be either embossed or engraved into the tooling.

15 enclosures have been added to the top. You can see the responses for both 12 and 15 are quite similar. This didn't happen by accident. Everyone now a days are itching for the "LOWS", so I designed these to excel in the mid 20's to mid 30's in reallitively small enclosures.

I'm working on a wall for 4 12's in my matrix. It just depends on when exactly they show up.

Added to top as requested. Also fixed the typo on the enclosures. (had red and green labels backwards)

All parts for the Ethos have been ordered and I'm expecting them to be in around 3 months. ETA will depend on if all of the parts leave China before Chinese New Year. So to be on the safe side I expect them to be in Mid to late March. For this order only 12 inch and 15 inch drivers will be available. Terms of presale are as follows. -prices are shipped to the lower 48 12 driver dual one and dual two $300 15 driver dual one and dual two $310 -preorder sales are refundable. I have already paid for the parts and they have been ordered. This presale is to only gauge interest not to use your money to purchase the parts. Any returns will be subject to a $25 refund fee to cover charges I will have incurred on the purchase. -Items purchased will only be shipped to the verified address attached to the paypal account in which the purchased was placed. -presale pricing will be available until I receive shipment at my door. -if interested send me an email to [email protected] or PM me, and I will send a paypay invoice to your paypal account. If you do not recieve an invoice within 24 hours recontact me. The following are the expected final T/S parameters based on FEA modeling and Klippel testing that was done on the prior sample.

Is this just for one sub or two? I'm under the impression it's for two subs

I've got a lot of interesting stuff on the way. This is going to be an exciting year for me.

The 12" frame I'm working on allows for a 11.25'" OD spider. All softparts are being designed with FineCONE.

I would just leave it sealed. You're not going to gain much output out of those two tiny ports. Port compression is going to be so bad it's just going to act like a leaky sealed box.

Megace is some nasty stuff. I gained a lot of fat from it over the few weeks I was on it. I could eat and eat. Still feel full but still be hungry. Very weird sensation.

Google world of outlaw. Looks like fun but dangerous. I'd never run them. Ill stick to late model. Plus way more money in sprints. My uncle has about 50 grand in just his motor.

What the hell are those things called ? They are sprint cars; that particular variety being World of Outlaws. Pretty much just a several hundred pound chassis with 8-900 horsepower, no trans. They will pull the wheels on dirt doing 100+mph with no effort. Yep nasty little puckers. 800-900 horses on a 1,500 pound car. They use the same type of tremic that I use in my late model car. It's a direct drive trans with no gearing. You have a small spocket for moving around the pits and getting onto the track. Then you just throw it in "gear" to haul ass. Dirt isn't like NASCAR when you're racing you don't change gears because well you only have one. All the gearing is in the rear end which comes out as one assembly. You change them per the track your running. I normally use a 732 gear. On a typical 1/8 mile straight you can get up to about 120 and around 75 in the turns. The sprint cars normally run about 25 mile an hour faster.

I got a couple bottles of Megace I can give you to help u out

I wouldn't see why it would justify price increase. CEA certs are only 300-500 a year per product. I don't see Klippel charging much more. That's nothing spread of 100's of thousands of units.

This is nothing new. Every large manufacturer already implements Klippel R&D and QC. And I don't mean just RF or JL, the actual people like Sonovox in China who are physically building the drivers. It's not only testing for design but quality control on the assembly line testing each and every driver for things like coil offset and rub and buzz. I see two problems that will need to be addressed. 1) the Klippel QC has allowed variances that the user can adjust. And 2) how will Klippel actually regulate and monitor its usage in the field.
