ive followed the posts,and for less than 50 bucks the tang bands really impress me with i think 13mm of excursion in a 6.5. i think im going to get some now also..correct me if im wrong is a .707 qtc supposed to be the flattest response you can get and for sq isnt that what you are after just wondering.

Yepper... I love those Tang-Bands! If you can get 'em into a door (They're REALLY deep) they are a super driver for the money. I DIDN'T say they were the best thing going out there, but I did specify "for the money"... <grin>

.5 is "transient perfect"

.707 is "max flat"

1.1 is "max power"

A Q.5 will tend to sound "lean" to many people, but to me, I simply LOVE the ver slow roll-off provided, and I recommended this alignment for him, as we will be actively crossing his system over, and he will be able to adjust the output of the woofers, specifically, while maintaining extension, and response capabilites. The curves look nice, too! Setting Up Front Imaging - Page 7 -- posted image.

A Q.707 provides for the OVERALL flattest response, at the MINOR expense of transient capability and extension.

A Q1.1 is the "humpy" or occasionally "peaky" sound, providing the least extension, but best overall output, and best power handling - i.e. "you can beat the CRAP out of 'em". Most manufaturers products found in the "Big Box Stores" are aimed toward the 1.1 end of the spectrum, if in a sealed alignment.

It all reminds me of something that Molière once said to Guy de Maupassant at a café in Vienna: "That's nice. You should write it down."

I took the daytons and stuck them in a prefab suv box so I could hear them. I have to say I'm freakin impressed by 'em and cant wait to get that huge ass enclosure built so they'll really drop! I think they're in a little over 1cuft each right now... I cant even imagine what the 3.3 is going to sound like! I've got them wired on a kenwood amp with about 300 rms to each sub... I'm going to wire in the HK1000D and see where that takes 'em!

What happens to the power handling with that big a box? I like the low frequency response of a large box too, but I've gone too big and over-powered the subs in times past. The good thing about too big is you can always add some Styrofoam or something to make it smaller!

According to JBL Speakershop, the power handling is just fine, even with extension like that.

So.... what's the word? Did you get those EQ/crossovers?

I got the 4xs, but you already knew that! I'm stoked!

I got some progress on the door pods done. I got the tweeter and mid rings mounted and wraped to take care of sealing them. after a couple layers of glass I'll mount the 6.5 ring and wrap the pods again. After everything is cured and ready for paint I'll cut the back for the TB and the rest will stay sealed. I'll post pics on fiberglassforum tonight.
