The intention was to over build the Xcon a great deal. But people are still pushing them way past their limits, that is to be expected regardless of the driver.

Of the two initially asked about, I would choose the Havoc as it is an excellent all around driver. But that is me, you need to provide more info.

We could aways buy a little trailer, and Mark could just tow Ernie.

Awesome.

hey on the FI Q how low should i set the subsonic level?? and exacly what is subsonic level mean?? i got sealed box 2.3cf The sub-sonic filter removes bass frequencies that are too low to be heard by the human ear, hence the term sub-sonic, the main purpose of a SSF is to cut out low freq. to prevent damage to your sub when in a ported enclosure. If you enclosure is tuned to...say 32Hz...this means you are producing 32Hz at 0dB...as the scale drops below 0dB the sub has the potential of reaching an over excursion limit (cone will move more than it is made to) and in result you will damage you sub. The enclosure can not supply enough back pressure to support the suspension of the sub below its tuning freq. For sealed box, it is not so important, but for basreflex boxes it is, because speaker excursion goes rapidly up under vent tuning frequency. So you can blow your 1000W speaker with 200 Watts easily without smoke. The voice coil can hit the backplate of magnetic assembly or speaker cone can leave the basket and fly somewhere...; so if you want to have 30Hz in your music, you should tune your bassreflex box to 30-35Hz and cut it somewhere around 30Hz, because if 20Hz tone come, your speaker is going to crash when fully powered.

I would just send it in and let the pros do it. That, and warranty purposes, as in once re-coned by anyone but SSA/SSA build house, the warranty goes poof.

Unreal!

I spoke to Mike recently, and he is in the process of updating the website.

They are supposed to be decent as the company was started by original PG engineers. But I have never tested them to know for sure myself.

Craigslist.

is that official?? You organized the meet, people respect you, Mark and I are no where near, and I am sure there are more meets in the future. If people want to do SSA like stuff in the Texas area, that can be all you.

Big John is now in charge of SSA Texas.

2.9 cubes it looks like. Glad you are liking it sealed and got cargo space back. But be careful on the ssf, 20hz is probably too low. Just test it and see how the woofer reacts, and adjust from there. Very little music is reaching down to 20hz as it is, so going lower then 25hz is probably not worth it.

Maybe make a Fi background topic in the Fi section.

Yes.

A T-5 swap will help.

Shame, as I drove by twice over the weekend.

Looks like a great time, shame it is so far away.
