I know that B) I believe Mike said the initial prototypes had 6mH of inductance. The Custom A (first of the ubers if i'm not mistaken) has 12mH of inductance and it starts rolling off at 50hz, which really isn't all that awful.

Linear motors are used in hard drives, considering they have voice coils too (just trying to be informative). I don't see why inductance is such an issue. The initial prototype has plenty of output up to 60-70hz. Who needs a woofer to play all the way up to 80hz anyway? That's what midbasses are for. The only pitfall of this driver is it sounds soooooooo damn good.

Get a schematic for it and you can start doing resistance and voltage checks.

Honestly Mr. Soundsplinter they can kiss your ass. If they don't like the RL-P too bad. The RL-S will shut em up

Yes, he did say that the RL-S wouldn't be included. Hopefully he changes his mind because that woofer is really going to be something else.

I got this from over at Sound Domain. Ben Milne is getting together a bunch of woofers and testing them. So far SS's RL-P is going to be a part of the lineup. Here's the thread. http://www.icixsound.com/vb/showthread.php...43&page=1&pp=10 Honestly, Ben is saying the upper echelon of subwoofers. The driver to fill the space in such a testing environment should be the LMT enabled RL-S. I really hope that the RL-S gets in the testing and not the RL-P. If Ben decides he won't let it fly because it's not out at this very moment he's going to be missing out on testing something that is sure to be well talked about in the future.

Yes, it can be reconed. Get up with Mike on how to send it in.

Nothing except the basket resembles the proto LM woofer. That woofer has a foam surround and the proto uses a VERY THICK rubber surround. Also, the motor structure doesn't look anything like the protos either. No screws are visible like the one in the auction. Also, the protos use a quadruple stack of magnets, not triple. Refer to the LM Technology white paper for the quad magnet illustration. Ask SDP and he'll give you an answer of what this contraption is.

I would have to say out of all my woofers that basket definitely looks the best. Looks kinda like a tool you would see aliens use on a movie.

Mike slammed his big brother LMT 15" for quite some time with a US Amps 2000X until he traded it to me. The aluminum cones hold up just fine, especially since we've got the originals with 10" spiders and more stroke. The surround on these puppies alone is ungodly. I'd have to say i'll have an RL-S in the future.

what warrants all that extra weight?

mine weighs 43.5 pounds. I'm guessing it'll weigh right around there or a little less.

It's not an uber, far from it. It's my prototype LMT. Notice the quad stack of magnets.

From what I have gathered it is NOT a 3HP, it is a custom tooled motor... They sound very good, the best sounding woofer i've ever heard. Gets DOWN like a mofo too..... If these sound anything like the prototype, you guys are in for a real treat.
