You mean it is not beefy enough already?

Quite an elaborate enclosure. Looking great!

Very nice.

Excellent post Brad. As explained above, there is too many factors to pin point a set frequency range across the board for everyone. I have had mid-bass drivers in prior installs that had to be cut off (slope varied) as high as 70~80hz. Where as another more recent install, where I had a larger rear cavity for the drivers, lower frequency capabilities, and substantially more deadening/dampening, I was able to run down to 40~45hz with ease. If you can, and your drivers are able to, aim to get them to cross over as low as they can. This will help bring the lower frequencies forward as part of the front stage (if in system with no rear "stage"), and lessen the range of frequencies the sub woofer has to cover. As always, it takes testing and adjustments, because you don't want a harsh separation between where the mid-bass's roll off and where the sub woofer comes in (meaning dialing out any sharp peaks in output when the sub woofer come in).

Thank you for the edit catch KU40.

Thank you bromo.

Really happy you like it. Staggering is the upgrade.

They are not actually duplicates, the software repeated a string of them a while ago and I have not gone back in yet to mess with it and figure out why.

There is a group buy going on for a lesser expensive db meter.

You are not annoying at all. I just want to make sure you only have to recone once. You got PM.

Love that part that is highlighted above. As mentioned, it will take testing and adjustment to find out what you are doing in terms of output.

The second one seems to be very close to failure, and I would suggest reconing both. For us to never have had a thermal failure before under normal conditions on an Xcon, even thumper that beats the living snot out of every driver he uses, has not made an Xcon reach thermal failure, there has to have been something in terms of the gains or signal clipping in there somewhere. Not to mention, to get a driver with such a heavy duty suspension to reach mechanical failure, it is surprising. No big deal, just have to adjust settings and they will be fine. Part of the reason the Xcon has outsold our Icon 4-to-1 is due to the sheer amount of abuse it can take under normal conditions. I did not get back to your PM yesterday as I was away from a computer all day and on the road a bunch, and I cannot answer emails on my phone while driving in the state of MD anymore due to the new texting and talking laws against cell phones while driving. But I am still doing my damnedest to answer messages and emails 7days a week. In the reply I just sent, I explain about the warranty issue with the end user doing the recone.

Welcome, I don't know that name.

I did an interview with Alma a few years back for Momentum.

RF amp parts are on eBay all the time.

The older Colbalt amps were decent amps, nothing fancey but good.
