this 8" news may just be the last straw for myself and car audio.

Yes I do. But I've found that it can eaily be too much output for incar subbass.

I have already... as well as replied to an older email. -Nick

...and why can't I PM Mike?

spam fest starting the 24th... hee hee seriously though kent, if You are in the islands and thinking of anything other then the sun, beer, and Your wife... then I will have disown You! Enjoy it amigo... You deserve the hell out of it

Take it easy on that li'l 2 inch coil, will ya?!! On the whole, I'm very happy to hear your experience thus far has been quite positive They are indeed some beefy little 8's, that's for sure.. unfortunately they may fall out of the public's hands for a short while after the current inventory is gone, which will be explained in an update thread I'm about to make. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You've got to be kidding,....

we will be holding a memiorial service every night you're away <{POST_SNAPBACK}> You'd better buy ALOT more wax then....

I'm going to go ahead and say that that id the best part of this whole thread. SQ is subjective.

interesting.. thanks Kent!

it sucks to be all of us... .why? Cause we spend too much time on the internet... there is life to lead... there are clouds to look at, ballgames to play, people to laugh with....................................................

<{POST_SNAPBACK}> but in Upstate NY as well as over the internet... I know that the three of us sounds cheesy offering ourselves up, but In reality, what better way is there to get the products out on the 'net market'? Granted, the internet is probably a 5% slice of the general demographic... but where do most companies (Car Audio and the like) start out? Look at RE & Kicker for two examples. Now, look at how 'mainstream' kicker is. Just for an example... ... for a better example, look at Stereo Integrity. Where are the boards built? Why did he buy this company? as in is there a plan to grow it in the next 2-5 years, or simply clean it up and sell it for more? Competition. SQ shows & SPL shows. These are the second largest trophy for this kind of company (behind getting picked up by the corporate chains). We don't need to know specifics about the equipment obviously... but more along the lines of is he going to focus on a line of SQ or SPL oriented models; thereby trying to climb to the top of those industries -or- simply supply 'better then average' car audio equip. Any plans on approaching the in home audio market? Any plans on authorzed dealer? Internet or brick & mortor. More specifically, is the plan going to be get mainstream attn (Circuit City, Best Buy, Pep Boys) -or- to be a revered "internet brand" such as Kicker, Adire, Team Rockford, etc (the brands that You may find in upscale car audio independants, but are much more prevelant in the sub-culture of the internet & competitor circles). Marketing.... there is not much paper & ink marketing out there for an amplifier co. unless he is going to take on a new idea and approach auto performance mags & sport compact type mags. THere is almost NO radio or televised marketing ground. Simply put: internet, word of mouth, and dealers are the key to marketing this type of equipment. I'm going to stop now, before I compose a 12 page paper. Keep us informed... oh, and You should know that You wont get the "get us free stuff!" repsonses over here.... -Nick

I'd never seen this kind of "install" before..

My local guy, Jim apparently made it into a mag...? BEFORE CLICKING THE LINK... BEWARE OF THE ANNOYING MUSIC THAT YOU CANNOT TURN OFF, also, the site is pretty damned lame. I don't visit very often, LoL http://www.autogoboom.com/ Anyone get the mag? I cannot find anything on google... I remember that car well.. LoL, "Team Wicked" locally.. anyhow, Happy worked on that Civ for about a year. eh Nick

...that is all. -Nick

Agreed. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> agreed... I say we take Steve's model... PM 10-15 members from each forum that You think would like it here, or contribute, or whatever.... ?

I sincerely hope those two statements are not related....

See if You can get Nick in here. NDMStang... he's the current acoustic's nut ...and smart. Otherwise... If You search around the dBDrag site, You'll see a few competitors using BIG ac / condensor / humidifier type units... Cold air is denser, therefore will be 'heavier' when compressed by the pistonic motions and waves. at least thats the theory as i remember it. That doesnt answer much for You, I'm sorry, but the root's technical side of this is outta my league & experience. Are You see gains or losses?

:giggle: For the record... The cone is only folded like that because of how I shoved it into the shipping box. It was a 12", D0.7, 4 spider. Wattage? Alot. Sqaure wave. I didn't assemble this one... it came to me built as You see it. Though, alot of Your other comments make better sense now I sold bofe um. umm... <shrug> -Nick
