snafu Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 So . . . who can guess the size of the woofer in the photo atop my CD player? 30" EV That's exactly what it is. I'm guessing you blew up the photo enough to see the logo on the dustcap . . . Quote Tony Candela - SMD Sales & Marketing Email me at [email protected] to learn about becoming an SMD Partner!

Wicks Posted July 2, 2014 Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 So . . . who can guess the size of the woofer in the photo atop my CD player? 30" EV That's exactly what it is. I'm guessing you blew up the photo enough to see the logo on the dustcap . . . Nope, no manipulation with the photo. I knew it was bigger then a 24", but wasn't quite a 32". Did a little investigating and found a pic that looked identical to what you were holding. Although...I should have known what it was initially...

snafu Posted July 2, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2014 I traded that to a guy for a Porter Cable 7518 production router (that I no longer have). He built the factory recommended 76 cubic foot vented enclosure for it and it was unbelievable - that thing was moving the roof in the shop ten bays down! Unfortunately, he was running 4x the power to it that it was rated (60 watts) and blew it up in about 30 seconds. I kept telling him . . . dude, easy on the power . . .

snafu Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 I'm listening to some OLD Black Sabbath currently. With meter peaks of 3 watts per channel on either amp it's gettin' it done. So, who can tell me how much an MC2300 weighs? Quote Tony Candela - SMD Sales & Marketing Email me at [email protected] to learn about becoming an SMD Partner!

Krakin Posted July 3, 2014 Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 (edited) 128 lbs You find a place to put it and you don't move it. lol Edited July 3, 2014 by Krakin Quote Krakin's Home Dipole Project http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/186153-krakins-dipole-project-new-reciever-in-rockford-science/#entry2772370 Krakin, are you some sort of mad scientist? I would have replied earlier, but I was measuring the output of my amp with a yardstick . . . What you hear is not the air pressure variation in itself but what has drawn your attention in the two streams of superimposed air pressure variations at your eardrums An acoustic event has dimensions of Time, Tone, Loudness and Space Everyone learns to render the 3-dimensional localization of sound based on the individual shape of their ears, thus no formula can achieve a definite effect for every listener.

snafu Posted July 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2014 Yep. Home audio and car audio can be similar. In this case, they're quite different. LONG Ago, McIntosh earned a patent for the bifilar wound output transformer that they call the "Autoformer". McIntosh used them in all tube amplifier designs and achieved far lower distortion than any other manufacturer of the time. When McIntosh engineered their first solid state products, they kept the Autoformers as their engineers had the designs down. Most solid state McIntosh amplifiers have a 2.3 Ohm output impedance and use the Autoformers to perfectly match that to any load. The MC2300 can make it's rated power when operated in STEREO at .5 Ohms, 1 Ohms, 2 Ohms, 4 Ohms, 8 Ohms, or even 16 Ohms. So, it has a C (Common) and each of the listed outputs on the rear. You just choose the one you need. When using the MC2300 in mono, you don't bridge it you "strap" it or connect it in "Mono Parallel". So, if you want to run the amp at .25 Ohms mono, no problem - you just connect the Common terminals together and to the negative side of the load and then you connect the .5 Ohm terminals together and connect the load to them. Done. Keep in mind, the MC2300 was introduced in 1971. Many of them were used to modulate sonar in submarines, battleships, etc. via a special output Autoformer McIntosh made for just that purpose. 2 Quote Tony Candela - SMD Sales & Marketing Email me at [email protected] to learn about becoming an SMD Partner!
