iAlexx Posted January 12, 2010 Report Share Posted January 12, 2010 These will be the 2 new amplifiers that will recplace the PPI.As you can see, they are from JL Audio. The reason why? Simple, all the topdesigners from PPI work now at JL Audio. 2 years ago I’ve spoken with Jeff Scoon, the topdesigner of PPI. And I must say, from then on, it was in my mind of using JL amps someday. The other option was the Focal Duo Monitor, but he has been for sale a couple of years now. Cause this was only a 2-way amp, I had to buy one more to feed the subs. A good friend of mine, Iwan Vinck (ARC deurne) has tested the JL edition, and was seriously impressed of what these things can do, and how they sound. If someone like that is impressed, there’s no need to doubt, and you just have to GO FOR IT. The HD600/4 gives 4x150, but in my case, I’m going to bridge it to 2x300 on the front speakers. The HD750/1 gives 1x750 watt, and this will be used for the subs. In the meanwhile, I’ve lifted the PPI from it’s case, and put it in nicely into my cupboard. Don’t think I’ll sell this, you won’t get anything for that now a days. Then I rather mount it in my golf I drive daily. Im just wondering why are you using JL audio amps ? Are they really giving nice sound quality ? i know they are pretty powerful for the size and the specs are pretty good too.. But never had the chance to herd one of those ! but still .. in my head focal is way beyond jl audio in sound quality. why didn't you buyed some audison ? LRx series are aaaamaaasing ! (im french so sorry about the mistakes oh and i love your work it makes my jaw drop every time loll) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robola 46 Posted January 15, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 15, 2010 Here you see the JL Audio's lying in the aluminum box. As you can see, these are pretty small amps. The job now is to flow them nice into the box. I find this logo of JL super beautiful, not sure if I'm going to use this anywhere... The design departement is doing over time at the moment, but still not finished their job. It has to be more cooler, more nice and more WOW then it was with the PPI. That's a job that will not be easy, it'll be hard, but I'm taking the challenge. I've got time to work something out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robola 46 Posted January 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2010 The works on the new amplifierbox are on hold for the moment. Wich doesn’t mean I didn’t do anything this week, but now I have to wait for some stuff from over the water. Too bad this can take a couple of weeks, but that’s the way it is now. And because I can’t sit still, I searched for something to keep me occupied. In fact, this has nothing to do with the ICE, but think some of you will find this cool. I’ve decided to make me my own set of aluminum pedals, cause I’ve looked everywhere for some descent ones, but didn’t find it. First of all, I made some models in MDF wood. Once I had this, I copied this in 8mm thick aluminum. Then I milled in some sloths of 20mm and 6mm deep. This is the foot-rest on the left side. Since there’s a rounding in the plastic where this comes against to, I had to make this on the backside of the aluminum too. So it connects lovely on the side. This will be the brake-pedal Gas Brake Foot-rest What you see here, are many hours of work. And it’ still not finished. I still have to do my magic trick still Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if question was posted already my interent is too slow to open all pagesin less than an hour lol Drop a BTL on his head i think DC lvl 2's beat the infamous jackhammer... The formulas that you used to predict this enclosure's behavior can't predict turbulence since turbulence is, by definition, chaotic. You can't predict chaos.
