Happy, happy Joy, joy *said in my best Stimpy voice -
I guess I'm just comming at this from a different viewpoint than you... I'm more of a home audio guy, so a larger enclosure that I could flatten out behind a couch or beneath a bed would allow me to build a ported enclosure with a still reasonable port size to box ratio. However since most people here are looking at car use, I'd say a slim mount driver that could be built into decent 3 way setup would be very enticing. It just depends on which application you're looking at. For me in that case, I'd use a larger driver then. Do the math and try to tune a .5cuft enclosure to 20hz with enough port area. Your box is all port. Considering that this is the case, I'd expect that as an alternative stepping up to a driver that was optimized for a larger enclosure could actually end up smaller since the port length would be shorter. Of course, I am the kind of guy that wants to move into a house that I can run 4 MJ18's mounted IB for home audio so the 8 for home audio eludes me. edit: by no means am I trying to be antagonistic DIYiT

With a pair you can definitely get some bass, even a single is really respectable. I enjoy mine.

If you are single, I might look for a dog that women find cuter than either of those...

1) Under 4" 2) I don't think shooting for a 2 way setup will be cost effective. Even 600-800hz would be great for a 3 way though as you wouldn't be limited at all by your midrange in LFE then. 3) I apologize for bringing up expensive comparisons, but in my mind going 3 way it is sort of the competition. Obviously the Aura is too expensive and large and the XLS is discontinued so I just see a market hole there. I would argue with the ported requirement as my problem with ported 8's is that the enclosure is smaller than the port. Optimal for in door use or a small sealed box for sub duties.

I love the 3 10's

Email. Or of course call.
Timbre should he is having major issues with his IP provider. Paid up but the site isn't back up.
Madisound had one pair left when I was there as well.
Sunny here....but not so warm. Don't need a jacket anymore though!
Hmm, if we define sub a bit differently. The Peerless XLS 8 has been known to be the best IB midbass in a car door, albeit very upper frequency limited. There is a huge following for it. It is listed as a sub, but in application in vehicles doesn't normally get used that way. Currently it is discontinued and there is no replacement. This driver was originally marketed as a subwoofer, but in auto applications was rarely used that way. Perhaps an XLS replacement would be a good thing to look into. If you could get it to play beyond 300hz it would be another bonus as well. A lot of people would like to run a 3 way front stage but use a dome midrange which can't extend that low. If on the flipside it had a dual purpose as an 8" sub that would make it attack a couple of markets. As for high frequency extension, this Aura is known to have a good response to 1k. Creating an 8 might really fill a niche. http://www.madisound.com/cgi-bin/index.cgi...7818&pid=97 If you make this I will hack up my truck doors quickly to fit in a pair.
I gotta run to a customer site and pound the purchasing agent into giving me an order. I am supposed to start consulting there on Monday for all of next week and need to get paid if I am going to do it.
Good evening Adrian.
Can't find the good link that I have, but here is a start: http://www.tnt-audio.com/clinica/cat5questions_e.html
That is a Minneapolis zip. Pretty much the closest thing to a hood we have to.
It was all about small sealed volume for me. 0.4cuft on the Rli and it was easy to tuck anywhere. I think some might actually prefer some that were a little less power hungry as well. It would make a budget setup easier in that you could easily use a 4chn with the rear two channels powering a substage. Not that big of a concern to some of us that seem to collect amps, but for someone who is starting from scratch it would be helpful. The Rli8 laughs at 300w.
I have a set on the way here as well, but haven't heard them yet. On other sites they are regularly called the poor man's millenium which I have heard. The millenium tweet is outstanding and I wouldn't call it bright at all, even though it is very detailed. I would expect that Matt's mounting had some definite influence on their output but won't really be able to comment until I can listen to mine. I will let you know when I do. edit: from pure speculation I think that would be a great tweeter to start out with.
Funny to see a visionik sub and an IDQ going for about the same money. IDQ in a nicer enclosure as well
3 pairs and one single yesterday alone, but all of them in enclosures.
Speaking of: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewI...p;rd=1&rd=1 I searched, but didn't find. My assumption is that all 8 chn are full range? I hope this doesn't take a ridiculous Ebay last minute bump.
*obviously needs to put more time into work*
