tahoexfixssd Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I got into car audio when i was like 7 years old and i have a bunch of magazines from like 99' and such and i was just thinkin about the old PPI piston woofers. i remember seeing these things back then all over the place inthose mags in SPL vans and such. i remember seeing like 64 of those 8's in a truck. what the hell happened to these?? i kno PPI got bought out but does anyone still use/have any of the original PPI pistons? pics would be great.

gotFI? Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 in 1995-96, i had a choice, either those or the old JL W6's. these took over the JL W5's believe it or not. well i chose the JL's cause the pistons were alittle pricey for a 17 yr old kid at the time. i ran the W6's with a PPI art series 600a.

Forevrbumpn Posted January 1, 2009 Report Share Posted January 1, 2009 I like the concept of a flat piston driver over a cone style woofer any day. Flat radiating surfaces are more efficient due to very slight phase issues with the angle of cones, barley noticeable, but its a good idea. Quote I have a ritual called "terminator". I crouch in the shower in the "naked terminator" pose. With eyes closed I crouch for a minute and visualize either Arnie or the guy from the 2nd movie. I then start to hum the T2 theme. Slowly I rise to a standing position and open my eyes. It helps me get through my day. The only problem is if the shower curtain sticks to my terminator leg. It sorta ruins the fantasy.
