  5. Cost of power - then and now. (watts on the dollar)

    in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.

    Posted

    one of my friends from way back posted these pics on his facebook page and i thought it was a pretty interesting topic to bring up here. I see people complaining about "brand X" being too expensive and how they are such a rip off because "brand Y" makes a much cheaper amp.

    Anyway, nowadays, some of these amps are in the 40 - 50 cents per watt range and people STILL bitching about pricing.

    Well let me tell you how it USED TO BE. You saw an amp behind the glass case at your local shop and you WEREN'T getting it. Period. LOL.

    the math on that ^^^ is about $8.50 - $8.75 per watt. HOLY SHIT you say....well we said that too :D

    I personally run T2500.1bd cp amps that MSRP @ $1599.99 and they all have birthsheets over 3300 watts RMS. That is $.048 cents a watt. AT FULL MSRP. Nobody pays that. Lets say you find my amp for $999.99. A RACK for an amp sounds expensive, FUCK THAT you say.....well i say that is .30 cents a watt. In my day, and my buddy Chris too, we would probably cut our own mother's arm off and backhand our grandmother with it to get a deal like that. LOL :D :D

    so anyway, i thought it was an interesting topic. I know we are talking RF here but now use your favorite brand and you might be talking 15-20 cents a watt. Who the hell bitches about that?

    Well I'm young and very new to the audio world so I wouldn't know about "the old days".... but I've learned.....You've gotta pay to play, haha.

  16. DC 18 m1 recone help

    in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!

    Posted · Edited by zack_e89

    So I bought this woofer second hand needing a recone. One Voice coil is not responding. My only problem is, dude I got it from didnt know what series woofer it is. It's an M1 for sure, but I don't know of a way to tell the difference between the models (lvl 2, 3, 4, xl) so that I can order a recone.

    So I guess my real question is this:

    Can I just oreder a recone for a XL sub and it work in the lesser models?

    or

    How do I figure out the actualy model speaker I have?

    A picture would help, I could tell if it's a level 5 or not =D

    @zack...I know you were just trying to help, thanks smile.gif just didn't want this to devolve into another one of those "you don't know what you're doing, it's your fault" threads that I'm so used to seeing on here lol
