So i gues that rules out the possibility of a Level 6 8 huh.

How about a logo on the spokes like this Uploaded with ImageShack.us

hahahaha. this reminds me of something else. How about a field replaceable spider/cone/surround? It would be cool to be able to swap my lvl 5s from 18's to 12s or w/e and back without having to completely recone and junk whatever it was. is something like that even remotely feasible? that's how the SoloX is.

Man, I am getting super stoked on these 8's right now. I may just have to wait on my rebuild of my truck until these go into production and throw 2 or 4 8's in my single cab. That being said, I am all for a 2" coil and a tall surround with the XL cooling. even a 2.5" seems like a little bit of overkill on an 8" sub, at least to me. But then again I don't build subs for a living. Edit: also the logo on the basket spokes looks really fucking good man.

If you woulda read my post, which you clearly fucking did not, I clearly said "not like it matters" And I THINK I said, in my option, but reading is hard, so I forgive you.

ha ha .. umm ha

Lol.....lvl 6 8. I'd love to see that mounted. Personally I don't see a reason for anything bigger then 2". As stated 8s are commonly used in limited space applications. If there's room for a monster step it up to the Xl 10 lol. But we need something for here damn trucks and small hybrid smart cars

The 2" coil has proven to be able to handle 600w or more with ease.(i mean who listens to manufacture power ratings anyway.....) For the guys buying 8s, not too many are trying to throw 2k to 1 8 anyway. For most people that are going to buy the 8s, they are building a small setup in a trunk or any vehicle with space constraints and they dont want to dump alot of money into electrical upgrades to be able to run alot of power. 2 8s and a 1.2k are a great combo.

haha yes we did. See all of those random questions I ask do stick with me. I might not know exactly what you mean at the time, but its times like this when that light comes on and it all makes sense. Cant wait to get out there and learn as much as I can in the few days that I have! Who knows, maybe something big will happen in the next few weeks and there will be a huge amount of orders that need to be built

I think we hit reply at almost the same time lol

Be on the lookout for "You Have Been Warned - Turning It Up To 11" - Should air any day now, somewhere. Go to the video, leave them a comment, demand they show it in the USA!

I have a feeling these will be so different We may leave them out of the Levels, It will probly be called "the 8m3" or something like that

Interesting exchange. Guys, the 6-mic array and the associated hardware are utilized to provide the nth degree in performance from a well designed good sounding audio system and they can easily point the tuner in the direction of addressing minor problems before any equalization is done - IE frequency response issues caused by phasing issues at crossover points between speakers, improper time alignment settings, etc. The process of equalization itself is one of personal preference. As Steve points out, "flat" typically sounds dull and lifeless - especially as we grow older and our hearing "tops out" at 16 Khz . . . or lower. The old saying, "the one who equalizes least equalizes best" really rings true in this area. The process of equalizing should be to remove peaks and dips in the response and have a somewhat smooth response from octave to octave. This is something that only a handful of people I've encountered since the 80s can do by ear - Mark Fukuda and Terry Soohoo are the two standouts that were able to demonstrate this to me personally. For the rest of us, having tools such as these at our disposal can help to get us there. FWIW, my mustang underwent the 6-mic array when I was employed at Rockford in like 2006. Mark Fukuda and I got it pretty close by ear and then Mike Cozza took it from there with the 6-mic array. He made several very slight changes to the equalization over a period of several hours. The results were amazing to my ears - so amazing that I've never touched it since. It's unbelievable. Steve, be sure and save a back-up of that file and document the gains of each amplifier by voltage at a set volume setting should you ever be required to swap an amp down the road.

yes NEO!!!! or free shipping to australia..

i don't "need" 2 guys from RF to come do a tune up. I know how to use the software. Its easy. Tuning is a pain for anyone serious about it, but the software is not a pain. also, i don't own a 6 array mic setup. It was a privilege and an honor for them to fly out just to help me get it sounding as good as we can get it though.

Go away.....

Ya no componets just yet. im sure one day I will do it but not right now. i have too much fun with the subwoofers

oh you mean product. component sets would sell like mad.

short bus

That would work on the prototypes but on production with the pole mods the dust cap would get knocked right off and/or a hole punched in it

WOWWWWWW! It is funny that those surrounds are referenced to the Holee from Earthquake becuase those subs remind me of these. HUGE-NOURMOUS!
