thank you for the answer, Ed.

I was looking for an answer like this from somebody because i was certain i was overlooking something. the level 4s have a pretty large pole vent, so i guess it would make sense that it would provide plenty of cooling.

im ready to recone my woofers, but i did not want to do that until i got some answers about the baskets.

but i am still a bit torn. i have one well know woofer builder telling me i shouldnt need to do it, and i have another well known woofer builder telling me to go for it.

tough!

its all DC parts, call and ask rusty. he's the one that did the testing.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

exactly what ed said. think about a desktop computer. if you take the case off it itll overheat. well there is more space for air to get to everything but the air flow isnt doing what it needs to do.

LMFAO.

No, it wont overheat unless the cooling setup inside is so poor that it never should have been put on the market to start with. If you buy junk, you get what you deserve.

Any time you have have a power wire next to your frame put some rubber hosing (or cut up an innertube) around it. The wire is bound to wiggle (due to driving or flex) and the casing will eventually wear through.

The drives in our $12000 servers at work get fucking hot if you run them for extended periods with the case off. They're designed to run with the case panels there for optimal cooling - the fans in them pull air in through the front of the case which draws it over the drives. If you take the side panels off it just pulls air in through the side so there's no airflow over the drives any more.

thats not a desktop computer as is the original example, is it?
