February 22, 200619 yr Have you seen the old RL-i 8's ?They had a very high roll surround. Much more stroke in the suround than the woofer could actually do. I kinda liked it. Maybe its diferent with subwoofers because they arent on axis with anything....who knows.About the foolish comment....Peformance>looks and you know that
February 23, 200619 yr Off-topic: Heh, the high roll on the original RL-i8 was done in large part due to parts limitation (also the reason why it took so long to get the revamped drivers out) - and as you indicated, it was entirely unecessary for the excursion the driver would create (though yes, it did look pretty freaky cool ).On-topic (kinda): Welcome to the forums Matt and Matlow! These new mids you got comin' out look to be quite the niceness. I'm finally getting around to installing those crossovers you made, Dylan, along with the Dayton reference midwoofer and tweet combo. Can't wait - but as I'm a total slut when it comes to aesthetics.. I am in fact waiting until I get the box finished up proper before I throw 'em in and let 'em wang Since I am such a cam whore, and it seems the people be cryin' for eye candy - here's a little somethin' somethin', genuine OlogyAudio crossovers goin' into my ~0.6 cu ft cabs Best of business to you all!
February 23, 200619 yr A review will follow please. Looks nice and I am sure they will pair nicely with an Rlp or Rls.

I just like my speakers being the best possible Edited February 23, 200619 yr by Matthew_Rich

March 12, 200619 yr Author so these would compare with the arco poly mids no?<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Yes you could compare the two...The Delta's f3 (anechoic -- Obviously you will get some gain in car and the f3s will drop for both...) is almost an octave lower when installed IB... ~54hz vs ~90hz. Needless to say they will have different overall sounds.The AA poly midrange will have a lower f3 in a sealed box smaller than .3cuft when compared to the DeltaThe Delta wins in .3cuft and larger... There is also a peak above Fb ranging from 2-3.2 dB in .3-.6 cuft boxes that gives the effect of some extra slam in the midbass.The Delta has a very shallow mounting depthXmax is the sameBoth have copper sleeve on polePaper vs Poly...The AA is less expensive.That is pretty much the run down... I'd call them comparable, they are both very inexpensive for what you get... It just depends on what your goals are which you want...We traded performance in boxes smaller than .3cuft for more sensitivity and lower f3s IB or in moderate-large sealed boxes
