Posted May 15, 200520 yr How much could these handle for burps, and are they comparable to an SX for SPL?I have been offered a trade on my SXs for his Claw basket Mags. 2 12" for 2 12"Also I am burping with 6000w+
May 15, 200520 yr How much could these handle for burps, and are they comparable to an SX for SPL?I have been offered a trade on my SXs for his Claw basket Mags. 2 12" for 2 12"Also I am burping with 6000w+<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Mags do have some major SPL but they are more of an LSQ driver. As far as burps with that amount of power, I can't comment. However I deliver 1400 daily to mine and shows no sign of fatigue.
May 15, 200520 yr a little birddie told me about possibly using them in an extreme 1 - 2 car<{POST_SNAPBACK}>extreme 1-2???got a link to something that explains the different classes. I have not been to a comp in a couple of years. I did however take 2nd in 601+ Pro one time with my first attempt.(LSQ). but I have not had my new car comp ready yet. This lady totaled my old maxima which had a completely custom built trunk with plexi amp rack and three 12w3s. it was kick ass, along with MB Quarts Qs up front and refs in the back.
May 15, 200520 yr Results from the previous drivers can be found on our home page at www.stereointegrity.comNo comments can be made with the new drivers as they are not publicly available yet.
May 15, 200520 yr Author Its the original claw basket.Could it handle that amount of power for burps though?
May 15, 200520 yr If the RE's could handle it, the Claws will. HAve you plotted impedance rise on your enclosure?I have heard that the SXs get nasty loud though and the Magnums were never designed to be SPL oriented drivers.

May 15, 200520 yr thanks I will check it out. It has been a while since I have been to a comp. I need to head over to one just to see what mine is doing now.

May 15, 200520 yr Well, when Dustin (rangerman) had the claw baskets in his ranger...he used a PH-d2 on each one for competitions. Also, Nick used to talk about he plugged one into a wall socket right out of the box and it didn't phase the sub at all...NGEDIT: PS...they're AMAZING subs...tough choice...but for SPL I'd probably take the SX's...

We actually hit it about 5 times, and it was a fresh driver too - no break-in period. The drivers can handle their own, but if you don't listen to music / care about the fidelity to a great degree then there are drivers out there that can be louder than the new Mag's. I haven't heard the SX's so I can't comment about their SQ.

May 16, 200520 yr With the proto 15 being about 50% of its potential, I doubt it'll turn heads in the SPL area. The bad pole/backplate is doing serious damage to the drivers performance.

The bad pole/backplate is doing serious damage to the drivers performance. <{POST_SNAPBACK}>The proto will not but I am sure the production drivers will turn some heads. I was impressed with it even though I know it has more in it than the proto will do.

The bad pole/backplate is doing serious damage to the drivers performance. when i show it off to james, i'll make sure i mention that..i mean hell, think about it...if it's impressive with chrome where it doesn't belong..what's it going to be like when it is 100%?anyway, i look forward to testing it...and like mentioned elsewhere, maybe i'll get lucky enough to get my hands on a production 12 to run head to head with the rl-p..wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

May 17, 200520 yr that's the attitude I am talking about. It's all for fun!!!yeah, till u pull in the lanes..lol...and aaron, u got a good point..except that kevin and james don't really have a ton of money in their stuff...of course they been sponsored by someone for quite some time and they are about to pick up another..lol...but i say go for it ..lol..it could and can be fun...look at what i'm doing..hehewheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
May 18, 200520 yr if you are saying that competing in any way or form is not fun and it is only fun if you pull off the big numbers/records than too bad. I use to take my previous car and setup to comps and enter in various classes. I never won out right, nor did I post huge numbers. but I had a freakin blast every time I went out and just hangin around checkin out others' setups and putting my through the ringer.so yeah, I will keep that attitude and you will soon see me at a comp with my Mag and a smile no matter what the score.and oh yeah, you don't want to talk SQ, I am in the process of building a sq machine. Of course that is what I love more.
May 18, 200520 yr if you are saying that competing in any way or form is not fun and it is only fun if you pull off the big numbers/records than too bad. and oh yeah, you don't want to talk SQ, I am in the process of building a sq machine. Of course that is what I love more.no, i'm not trying to infer that...however, i'm super competitive, in everything. i too just enjoy going and seeing what numbers are brought down..but when it's my turn, when i pull into the lane, then the fun stops for just a bit and the competitior comes roaring out.afterwards, well, i'm just there for the hell of it. i'm either mad at my score or happy with it, but i know i had fun trying.and sq, well, it's such a flash show. i mean, as long as u can throw up a good spl number and ur install is super flashy, u can actually score enough points to beat a ride that is basic but actually sounds better. and i don't see the word "show" in sound quality..but that's just me. good luck in ur endeavor, i hope u do well.wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
May 18, 200520 yr Admin Kent I am super competitive also, but there are a few cases when I know I need to realize my standing and accept it and learn from it
May 19, 200520 yr Kent I am super competitive also, but there are a few cases when I know I need to realize my standing and accept it and learn from it lol, i never do...my number one biggest problem...patience, or the lack of, is a very close second..wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
June 6, 200520 yr everyone can call them what you want SQ LSQ SPL aall i know is that i have had real results with them in SPL i am running a MA5082HX on a pair of 15s adn i wouldnt be a bit afread to put 4000 or more to each VC for burps i was in a deathmatch (small little local thing ) they had a new TL i played soem jay-z for 2 min straight as loud as my car would get it and i carried a 144.3 adn thats with takeing DB for breaks in bass and voltage drops so on so forth. moral of the story they can and will take whatever you can dish out ask nick about my track record with audio equiptment ( i can tear up an anvil with a sponge lol) and same subs ive had for about a year just hit a 155.3 on a new TL on the windsheild.
