Does the world really need another small box super stiff subwoofer?

IMO, how about a nice servo controlled 12 or nice freeair 15?

Well this is our first shot at things and wanted to keep the driver affordable and able to fit into space restricted installs and still have the ablilty to be used when space is available. So it was abit of a happy medium when constructed. But all the feedback is great thanks guys. I will be making notes as we go along in this project for further product development.

Thanks

I would be interested in testing a 12, but I would need a dual 2 to put any power to a single sub.

Id like to test out a 15, but 3.3 cu.ft is too big for me.

x2 Great job Steve!

I do not really like how there is a "super stiff spider" whatever that means.... is it a tripple stiff spider configuration? but that part I dont like about that is how its on a sub with low power handling and Bl specs.

but sure, send a pair of 15s down to edmonton and ill test em out for you

When I say super stiff I mean it has more ridgeness then lets say a non-treated type poly-cotton spider which does not provide much cone control. A couple of the drivers we tested had much left to be desired when it came to suspension and cone control as do alot of inexpensive drivers. So when we decided on everything that was one thing that stuck in my mind over and over was the other drivers we had tried had this issue.

especially if you are leaning more toward the SPL side which it seems like. When can we se these in production? If you want i can test compared to various SPL woofers, for durability aswell as preformance

In a week or so we will have our prototype back from testing and they are putting a small order together as we speak and then we are good to go. The first units will be under our name but we will not likely see logos on dust caps or what have you for abit. And yes like I said once we say ok they are in and good to go we will want lots of feedback and testing done.
