I don't think there are any SPL companies. There are a few SQ/daily companies though.

We had a thread about them a while ago, but I can't seem to find it right now.

It shure would be nice if an SPL oriented company came along. There just might not be enough business around here to make it worthwhile though.

Nope... Inhumans are done.

Don is now the Canadian distributor for RE.

Yeah, I love my Inhumans. Finding recones for them is a bit tough right now, but I think I might have just gotten that solved.

Right now they're kinda the wrong size for the class I want (I have 2 12's but would prefer 2 10's). I might see if I can get different baskets so I can turn these in to 10's

He stopped making them for a number of reasons. The biggest of which is probably just that he wasn't making enough money to keep going with it.

Back when he closed up shop the exchange rates from US/Canada were pretty crappy. He was also having problems getting parts.

These are just things that I've heard. If you want 100% accurate info you'd have to talk to the man himself [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

Sorry... didn't see that 2nd post before I posted.

The battery is great. I haven't compated it straight-up against a 1700. Jon @ CGA (who sells the 1700's) has seen my system at a few comps and seems to be pretty impressed with it.

I'm going to do some testing either tonight or tomorrow. I'll try to remember to find out how low my voltage drops with my D2.

As for the plate on the box. Well no, I never tried 3 ports. It actually wouldn't fit under the sub.

I accidentally cut the ports vertically instead of horizontally. I didn't have the time to cut a whole new piece of wood so I just covered up that extra hole [img]graemlins/thumb.gif[/img]

it's pretty hard to get if u are canadian, only very few have got it.

if u are in the street class, forget it.
If you're in street, I definately wouldn't say forget about it... I started in Street Class 4 years ago and got offered a sponsorship. That sponsorship turned into an offer to turn my car into a demo car which also later on offered me a job with the distribution company. I was really really really lucky with that, but hey, you can't say it NEVER happens because it happened to me. [img]graemlins/headbang.gif[/img]
