Posted May 23, 200520 yr Not sure if this has been released yet, but, how is the inductance. I loved my XXX, but I got rid of it, for the fact that, even in a sealed enclosure it had little output above 60 hz. Is this Proto or RL-S going to be able to have a little more extension in the upper bass range?

Now Mid-bass in meant to play what you are looking for. I would think that your best bet would be to get a better front stage speakers to blend better with the sub you purchase.
May 23, 200520 yr Indeed, inductance will not affect the performance of our subwoofers much if at all. However that said, it is looking like the inductance on the new RL-s drivers will be around 1.6 - 2 mH.. though this is a tentative remark as the initial proto's were up around 6 mH Only time will tell ... but in the interests of keeping the most minds at ease, we will try to keep the inductance as low as possible.
May 23, 200520 yr Mike whatever you do, please don't make performance hindering allowances just to appease a few who are worried about xy or z parameters. Screw the numbers so long as it is a monster which from your descriptions it sounds like it will be. I know I personally trust in you to come up with a monster without adding my 2 cents on x parameter, even if I knew what the damn parameters meant.....
May 24, 200520 yr Psycho, believe me - this driver will be a monster. We're hoping (and truly believing) that these will be amongst the most capable woofers ever available worldwide. Virtually zero distortion, coupled with incredible output at reasonable power handling, and available for an honest price. Of course, we do have to consider the marketing of the product, which is why we will also try to tweak various parameters to appear more appealing to the average consumer (even if in truth, they don't make much of a difference). Nonetheless, you may rest assured that we will NOT compromise the functionality of the driver in order to attain every marketing goal. The quality of the product always comes first!
