i dont understand why people are complaining. if you dont like it, keep your mouth shut and dont buy one.

simple as that, no? i mean i know it must be sooooo difficult for some people to comprehend this theory, but its not that difficult.

you suck but i do pay for that

And these subs suck but i'm not paying for that.

9 lb cone on a 5 lb motor.

... think i should go back and actually read this thread so i can actually know what i'm talking about.

What happened to the Stereo Integrity line? It was pretty big years ago then kinda disappeared. I see by your sig its back in action though is that correct?

Lets keep this civil guys or in grims case gays.

so lets get one thing straight i value being able to ask the guy designing and building the sub why the hell they did this or that. So in that spirit here are my concerns

1. How much of the desinging did you do yourself.

2. why did you use a pole vent in this situation

3. how does that super scientific i listened to it on the way home testing actually apply to the end user.

4. how much profit do you actually turn per sub gross and net.

5. if the sub is rated for 600watts and you adamantly stand behind that rating why would you show the scores it does on a 3500 watt amp.

6. its a "600" watt sub why the stupid high mms

First of all thank you for asking questions.

1) 100%

2) I used a pole vent because the way the cooling operates the pole vent expels air after the basket vents suck clean/cool air in and bring it around the coil and former.

3) I have been in the industry for 11 years and involved in the hobby for 22+ years. I have a good ear and I use it to listen to how the driver(s) perform. And what other better way to relate to end users than to listen to the driver in question installed in a real world situation in an actual daily driven car?

4) I respectfully decline from answering that. I don't ask other companies their profit margins and I do not divulge mine. I assure you it's less than what people elude to.

5) A driver rated for 600 watts usually has 1200+ watts thrown at it all day long. Raring it at a true 600 watts RMS is safe to where the driver will NOT fail if sent 600 watts RMS full tilt for a 2 hour+ time period.

6)18" subwoofer owners want one thing more than any other - TONS of low end. This driver is a low end monster. And if that entails losing 2 dB in efficiency so be it. Power is cheap, so if you want it loud buy a big amp.

2. Really thats how it works huh? Looks more like you and your best buddy knocked off the way fi blocks off the pole vents with the bp power option you know the aluminum hunk on top of the plate that you "borrowed"

3. Well all it really shows is that you like the product you sell which i would hope that you do.

4.im fine with that but its still an honest question because it seems like you all are just trying to make a quick buck.

5. but your using that 3500 watt amp and score to make it seem better than it is, it doesnt matter what i can do above and beyond what its designed for i want to see what it really does where its meant to be used.

6. No a woofer is stupid it does what you tell it that high mms just makes it easier to bring out the low end and increase power handling but with a lower "power" sub i would rather have greater efficency but alas thats a personal choice that would make a customer such as my self buy your product versus another one.

really thats none of your business and if he is trying to "make a quick buck" whats wrong with that...hes in business to MAKE MONEY. hard fuckin concept huh...

ill say this..looks like a quality subs is being made for a great price. keep doing what your doing.

I do apologize for that one i should have worded my question better (sorry lack of sleep) my main issue on that is that with the companys like this (not naming names) i have seen numbers showing somewhere in the neihborhood of 2-300% profit margins for a single amp or sub and that shit just aggravates me. but anywho i do apologize for the aggressive nature of my posts

what huge profit margin does he have selling an 18 for 189? after production costs, materials and time invested theres really not much room for profit so this is more looking to bank off of mass sales at a lower price than less sales at a higher price. def was worded wrong..but even if he were to like said hes in business to make money and its none of anyone elses concern. JL has a 300-400% mark up on some items...but there still in business and nobody questions them...people may say there over priced (which i believe they are as well) but nobody questions them on it ya know

It's still "alive" (not making any products at the moment but the company is still there) meaning that I'm still trying to find a manufacturer that can build the neo radial motors. Once I find one I'll come out with an updated shallow mount.
