Type-E 's aren't as weak as you think!

umm... wow..... do yall get that bored at your shop or is it to show your customers?

You guys kill me.  That is funny!Build the box so that it performs well in the worst case scenario and, in return, it will reward you at all times.

when a moron scratches our display subs, or a drill slips,,,oops, , , , , we have fun then sender back for some A#1 alpine warranty 2003 Chevy Avalanche,Eclipse CD7000,Morel Elate 5,Adire Extremis,Alpine PDX-4.150, 15" TC-3000, 2 Alpine PDX-1.1000, 470Amp HO Alt.

wow... can we say major BORDOM!!! i wish i could own a shop to do stupid stuff like that.... is there like a way to see how many watts the was getting like the same thermal intensity as??

id imagine theres a way to measure, ,but that would take the fun away, lol2003 Chevy Avalanche,Eclipse CD7000,Morel Elate 5,Adire Extremis,Alpine PDX-4.150, 15" TC-3000, 2 Alpine PDX-1.1000, 470Amp HO Alt.

(Dave raises his hand) Were they 8 ohm, or 4 ohm? DVC (series or parallel wiring) or SVC? I ask because this will make a HUGE difference in how much power they were actually getting... (This sounds like something I used to do at the Radio Shanty where I used to work... THAT was a good time, only I used to put 'em back in the box BWAHAHAHA!) To wit: 120 vRMS times 1.414 = 170 v p-p now the rule is p-p voltage squared, divided by 8 divided by the load 170 times 170 = 28900/8 = 3612/16 = 225 watts 170 times 170 = 28900/8 = 3612/8 = 451 watts 170 times 170 = 28900/8 = 3612/4 = 902 watts 170 times 170 = 28900/8 = 3612/2 = 1804 watts Even if they were 8 ohm, SVC drivers, the power the VC would actually be getting is 450 watts, which I will grant you is probably a lot more than the driver is rated for, but the voltage from the wall IS TRUE sine wave, and NEVER clipped. (See what we have been saying about clipping?) Also the EXTREME excursions made by this kind of power running into a free air woofer, will cause a tremenous cooling effect on the voice coil, so even at twice the power, I am impressed, but not as impressed as I should be, I think. I watched an Eclipse Titanium 10, voice coils paralleled, for a two ohm load, (1800 watts) run for three days CLAMPED TO THE BENCH, CONE DOWN, and still did not blow. TAHT was worth the effort! The magnet structure was so hot you could not touch it, and the shop stunk to high heaven! Ahhh, those were the days...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."

it was a single 4 ohm sub, , , , its still not blown, , , we just stopped it at the smoke point .   So whats the big bad math on that?  i got confused there/2003 Chevy Avalanche,Eclipse CD7000,Morel Elate 5,Adire Extremis,Alpine PDX-4.150, 15" TC-3000, 2 Alpine PDX-1.1000, 470Amp HO Alt.

like not blown as in still play alright??? wow thats amazing.... lol

whell, , it makes popping noises at the peak , , , but its still not completely melted to the point where it just dosn't work anymore, , ,, i may take it outside tomorrow and finish it off 2003 Chevy Avalanche,Eclipse CD7000,Morel Elate 5,Adire Extremis,Alpine PDX-4.150, 15" TC-3000, 2 Alpine PDX-1.1000, 470Amp HO Alt.
