Yep, I liked those 2nd gen ones the best too. Nice woofer it was.

yea... the only real reason to go isobaric is if your driver won't get to full exursion without exceeding thermal limits in a given size box.....

Umm, actually the reason is that the box can be smaller. [/QUOTE]same diff... [/QUOTE]when you say same difference, i hope you mean that they 2 statements are totally different

I guess I gotta explain.. lol

bottom line is if you have a small box and your woof aint getting to Xmax with rated power and you want it louder... thats when you either build a larger box, or go iso....

or if you know your box is too small to begin with... go iso...

You are essentially doubling the thermal powerhandeling of a single driver...

so if i understand, if you build your box bigger it will go louder? interesting. so taking 2 woofer and going iso will yeild more output than 1 woofer in a small box, am i understanding you? how does going isobarik double the thermal power handling of a single speaker?

man I put a pair of 2nd gen Blue Thunder 12s ISO in a vented bandpass in a B2000 with a blow through. it was sweet.

You had to go ISO back then - those 12s wanted 3cuft each vented [img]graemlins/freak.gif[/img]

Larger boxes are (generally) more effecient then a smaller box - less power is required to reach a given Xmax-

iso doubles thermal power handeling because you have 2 woofers being used as one...

you said it doubles the power handling of a single driver and i didnt quite see how you came to that conclusion, the above explenation is more accurate than the first one
