I was giving you an out. Obviously you were too stubborn to take it. The resistance that is seen in laminar flow is the same resistance to the air moving in a box. It is still not flow and I never said it was flow. Go re-read. You keep taking one phrase out of context in this whole thread. This whole discussion is about the fact that you were recommending NO BRACING which is flat out wrong based on the OP's first post.

I wouldn't give them credit for that even

Or a small full-range instead of a tweet if you can only do a 2 way.

And the weight of those will wreak some havoc on your doors

Depends on the midrange you are using with it. Just because a driver is specified doesn't mean it will play nice. In general though Kicker is pretty good with their specs so it could be made to work. What/how are you going to cross it over?

The best midbass drivers I have heard are generally subs; however, there are a ton of subs that would suck serious ass at midbass.

Don't touch the cone though. Mine might not wear clothes, but they won't be in harms way. Supposedly SUPER fragile cone. Helps them reach.

Ahhh! I want to get some kind of solid idea of what i want to do in college.. And I know I won't grow out of audio what-so-ever so i feel like it's a natural choice to do... Any suggestions? I have a basic understanding of electrical concepts just because my dad is an electrical engineer. But anyways.. I really want to be able to design not only subwoofers but understand deeply into more advanced topics. No money in speakers as an engineer. Although if there is a funded manufacturer here in the US, I've done something with them Well Yeah.. I would take that as a minor or something (Since it's more of an interest)... Maybe I'll just have to go with Electrical engineering? hmmm... I went to a liberal arts college so I had to write my own minor. I've worked in fourier math now since 97. Yikes, getting old. I chose sales though as I am a slut for $

You mean these? by the way, what are your plans with them? You'll see by next week

You mean these? YES! i need to get grills on these pods.. any ideas? i built the pods to work with this grills or i could make my own i suppose Mine are going to be nekkid

Your right, I probably should have just stated surface resistance to the moving air but in this case it is exactly one of the confusing things to Ibanender so I did that on purpose. Just because you are dealing with the requirements to reduce resistance for laminar flow does not describe flow in itself. The point in excessive treatment is just that, to reduce resistance. Why does reducing resistance matter if there isn't flow? Seriously you don't get it? I never said there wasn't air moving, just no flow.

Yes, flow has direction, and if it moves in 1 direction, then quickly changes direction, that's still flow. Flow is not uni-directional, but can only be in 1 direction at a time. Let's say for instance I put something in my port, and I played it for 2 seconds, according to you, whatever I put in my port would be in the same position I placed it, yes? If it's agitated it should be equal movement according to what you're saying. You can't make up definitions. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/flow What you are trying to coin would be instantaneous flow which is also only a term ever used when you add rate to the end of it describing flow. It is directional and has a source. What happens in a box is not flow. laminar flow   –noun Hydraulics, Mechanics . the flow of a viscous fluid in which particles of the fluid move in parallel layers, each of which has a constant velocity but is in motion relative to its neighboring layers. So now SPL boxes are liquid cooled? Smoothing it makes it louder because of liquids in the box? So you're a bridge engineer now? Yes there was a resonance problem, maybe they should have added more bracing... I bet if they had thicker material, the resonance would have been lower and wind wouldn't have matched that. Viscous fluids are regularly gases, not restricted to but usually. You specifically brought up amplifiers not me and unrelated to the modal comments. Who's to say you're gonna have crappy response from the enclosure period? You're making the assumption if you don't make the most epic box ever, it won't sound good. What if you have a 50 hz dip, but your vehicle has a 50 hz peak, now all the sudden it's perfect! Bottom line, your quest for perfection is stupid because no matter how much you try to get it perfect, something will screw with it, or it will be so minute it will be inaudible. I've never stated if you don't make the most epic box ever it won't sound good. Just applying simple science to maximize the goal at hand. "What ifs" are only valuable if you know about them and plan ahead of time. Dumb luck is not science and in answer to the OP's question makes no sense.

hiatus from?

I'm enjoying the AMG 6.3

why not just turn the volume down?

A BL fits your needs better than the Q and conveniently can fit in a slightly smaller ported box.

I need a rack myself as my shits a mess.

Lol. Canadian rednecks?
