Welcome to the IHoP v.2
Those might be the grossest chips I've ever had. Tried some last night. I am pretty sure it is a southern thang. More like a mid eastern US thing. We don't eat that nasty shit down here.

Welcome to the IHoP v.2
Google "falling numbers". Easy concept to grasp and is biological. Looked it up, sounds perfect, thanks. Basically the number reflects the amount of enzymes in wheat. The enzymes produce food for yeast affecting the rise of bread. You can purchase different flour and test it then bake it to get a visual of the effects. For example bread flour will normally have an optimal falling number around 250 and normal self rising flour a good bit lower. When cut the more optimum bread flour will show more air pockets which is a result of the yeast producing more co2 being it had more food to eat in the bread. More info can be found in USDA FGIS website. And Perten which is the machines we use.

Mid-Bass Driver Selection
Efficiency of over 3% seems a little high. It's Xmax is different also. Says Xmax and coil over hang is 7mm but is less. Coil minus air gap is 8 I think it was / 2 gives it a coil overhang of 4

They may sound good but the specs contradict and it says it weighs 26 pounds. Your gonna have major door hinge problems with that much weight.

THE EPIC MAGNETAR THREAD
Sub has been built into an 18. The gap is way too large for this coil however I'm still sending it for Klippel testing to verify that the BL curve is even. Once Klippel testing is complete it'll be put in use to see if anything needs to be addressed. M As of now I will be... Adding cooling to the motor. This was supposed to be done already but it was overlooked by the factory. Found a little machining on the exterior of the motor to lose a little weight and help the flux path. Have a rubber motor boot made. Have custom terminal built that will allow the leads to fit better and allow 4 gauge wire. As long as the BL curve isn't crazy off. I don't see it being a problem to have the factory to start production by the end of next month. This will have them in and avaliable for end of August or beginning of September.

PSI Subs
I have spoke with him over the phone several times when I was looking for a competent supplier between my dealings with Wiggens and being pushed towards Pat Turnmire by Uta Klippel. Three parts suppliers that I deal with recommended his advise and services, so I wouldn't say he doesn't have a clue what he is doing. As far as his spiders there are only a few suppliers and I'm sure he uses the same stuff as most others use. Maybe there was a bad batch of resien on an order or something but it's HIGHLY unlikely The majority of his product has this issue or he wouldn't be in business as long as he has.

I'll sell you a limited edition with my signature for 2,999.99$

Induction should be slightly better with this coil.

If the port is put in the center it will eat up too much volume. The box would need to be a tad bigger.

DSS Tridents and Twisted Sounds S-10. Road to 166dBs
I can't remember the name maybe you can google for it. It is a hydrocarbon that begins with a T. They use it in out lab. I have used it to clean roofing tar off my hands.

WINisd modeling of final 3?
with the same power on all set ups its probably pretty accurate. One 18 has roughly the same sd as 3 12's and they all have about the same xmax.

The Sub is based on two definitions of the word. First, the Meaning of the word is character, and is used to express how music affects the soul. The second is Aristotle's usage in his means of persuasion.

Large signal parameters will extrapolated once the production run comes in.

Welcome to the IHoP v.2
Go on Zatarains.com and order a pack of their crab boil. The powder not the liquid. It has everything including salt. The crab will absorb flavor as it cools. So the soak time will determine flavor.

What's the next sub you want?
It'll be a sq sub with 55-60mm one way Xmax.

What's the next sub you want?
shallows are in the line up, just don't have samples on them yet. As of right now this is what my year is looking like. 1. Magnetar to be available in beta version (open tooled parts) within 5 to 6 months. 2. In a few weeks Enrique Stiles will begin working on engineering soft parts that will allow ~60mm one way usable throw. These parts are to be available for this fall. 3. Once soft part engineering is complete a NEO MMAG driver will be developed by Enrique using a 3.5 inch coil with edge wound windings inside and outside the coil former. (Think super high efficiency like in Pro Audio). The goal of this driver is to be the highest displacement 15 inch subwoofer ever developed, by a long shot. we are hoping to have this available for this fall under $1,000 MAP. The sub should weigh in the neighborhood of 25-30 pounds. 4. By then I should have the Primo production ready for sale and have the prototypes for the shallow mounts complete. 5. Once the prototypes are complete and nothing needs to be tooled then they will be put into production. 6. After that we will look into less expensive drivers under the $200 range. What I s the neo mmag sub going to be similar too? Like the magnetar or ethos or what?The Neo MMAG will look similar to the critical mass UL driver. The pole consists of the magnet and top plates and the exterior of the motor acts like the pole. We could go with ferrite but it would weight around 70 pounds and not be Too much cheaper to manufacture. Unlike the other ways Neo is used the way it is used in MMAG is very efficient and much less is needed. If I can find a source here in the states that can produce an auto claved cone body and cap I will go that route. If not I'll use a hybrid paper cone body. The cheap carbon fiber stuff from china isn't auto claved and is not structurally sound.

Welcome to the IHoP v.2
So do I on my own property. It doesn't mean it's more or less healthy especially if it's a smaller farm that outsources their feed. If it's in pellet form it's been made from spoiled or sample grade grain. It's not profitable to make it from anything else. Even if they have been fed sillage the mycotoxin content is gonna be high. The commodities industry is a business even if it's farmer joe raising a few heffers and steers. Just like everything else in the US people aren't willing to pay premiums so something somewhere in the chain is going to be "unhealthy".

Welcome to the IHoP v.2
Doesn't matter what or where you buy it. At some point in the chain it has been given GMO some type of artificial fertilizer. If it's grain fed it has been given a fish based emulsifier to limit food intake. It's it 100 percent organic you can bet the organic fertilizer that was used was covered in salmonella or ecoli. And if it's been purchased in a store it's been through several heat and cooling cycles before it hits your shopping cart.

THE EPIC MAGNETAR THREAD
This sample will have holes drilled into the basket but it will not be needed in the production run due to the cooling built into the motor.
