  1. Did you decide on what you are going to do with them?
  2. i meant argued as in a scientific argument. presenting an explanation consistent with observations Only on SSA. I don't understand how it could be seen any other way without a re-write of ohms law...
  3. There really isn't an argument. Calculate current flow at the switching frequency into the rated inductance of the voice coil.... The whole HF burning the leads is nonsense. Ohms law will help you figure it out...
  4. Roger, then you would be absolutely fine...
  5. Normally, if it is 4-channel 2-ohm stable amp it is only OK to run 2 ohms to each of the 4-channels. It is NOT normally OK to run a 2 ohm load on a set of the channels in bridge mode. Just something to think about...
  6. Wow, that was a while ago. Camaro was a 79', poop brown... I want to say power was a Soundstream D200... Or a Punch 75... Do you remember the Coustic "Bass Pump" around the same time? I was buying Hollywood Sound Lab, McCauley and Pyle drivers back then. Good times...
  7. Meh. I do understand the burnt ties though. I was screwed over pretty bad in 2007 with an Adire Audio deal that went south due to Dan Wiggins not being straight forward with me. It took me a few years not to be pissed off whenever I thought about it. It was simply caused by poor business practice. I won't defend any wrong doing, but as far as current product, I don't see the problem with PSI.
  8. You just made my day with that picture, BTW...
  9. LOL, I had bought a pair of those in the early 90s... Were those the Isobaric or Trisobaric ones? They went into the rear deck of Camaro Berlinetta, lol...
  10. I also don't understand all the PSI bashing. Especially since it is from people who have never actually used the equipment. If you bought one of the drivers during RE's glory days, it was likely you have a driver made by David Moore. I think he knows what he is doing.
  11. I had a K2, well 2 of them, back in the day. They were like $1K each though, iirc, lol... A buddy has them running a pair Tumults now... Still (amps and subs) working great about 8 years later...
  12. Obviously, there is also a point of diminishing return...
  13. No, it will be lower than if you tuned the larger box correctly. It's physics.
  14. Nope. 99.9999999% of the time, smaller = lower efficiency and more compression. Your score goes up because of other reasons (shift in resonance) not because of smaller size. The trick is to use the larger volume to increase your enclosure peak by manipulating tuning. By simply making a box smaller with the same tuning will cause output to be lower overall, all of the time... One of the biggest miss-conceptions in car audio...
  15. Here is the deal man, you are asking in the manufacturer's forum. We aren't going to give you advice that would steer away from FI's advice here.
  16. Maybe they will chime in on this, but my best guess is that they will advise against it if they are much different.
  17. Got it, missed that... More capacity now!
  18. I thought you were running 16+V?
  19. An 8" PVC pipe is a big ass vent. Will probably be fine...
  20. The manufacturer is going to tell you that you should not mix drivers.
  21. Wait, that used to be the Sweet Pickles van, right???
  22. The T/S specs will tell you more than anything else...
  23. Jesus Christ, you guys kill me. My only point was it isn't the dual connector that made the difference, it was that 2x copper in the DC power cable run. Run a single 4/0 into a reducer and you will have even less loss and more power. Goddamn, seriously... Nobody was being cynical about your test...
