![]() ![]() It sounds slow and sloppy, very low efficiency. I also tried the Hawthorne Augie, which is also made by eminence. ![]() ![]() It does not have much definition in the lower range and can't be used very high because it sounds pretty nasty from the lower midrange on up. It is mediocre build and sounds mediocre as well. Just to name a few, I have tried the very well known Eminence Alpha 15 wich, in fact, was one of the worst 15" woofers I have ever had. While I'm not very certain whether it all came down to the Q factor of the drivers but the lower Q drivers sounded better to my ears, with help from eq that is. Over the years I have used both high Qts and low Qts drivers on plain open baffle, u-frame, h-frame and w-frame I looked over the troll's other postings, and decided not to engage with a know it all know nothing,and blocked him before he explained a 90 inch, 130 hertz point source. I did it to avoid more hole cutting( it's messy) and to decouple the woofers from a frame, rather than using a resonance generating regular style baffle. Then he attacks using 1*8"*90" timber at hand, to slot load the front output to a 6" *90" opening on the woofer stack, adding resistance and bass depth. It's 500 watts into this 8 ohm load, besides the fact that it too, is a spare from a previous sold project, again, in case the sold amp fails on the customer. Then he complains that a thousand watt amp into a 4 ohm load is too much power. ![]() Next he goes off, pretending my old plate amp is a class D amp. I understand some people like the 1.0qts sound in free air, but I'd rather use a drier sounding woofer, and eq it a little. He was telling me I should have bought new drivers for this, with higher Qts than the 0.50 ones I already had. I'd already stated this was made from spare parts at hand, from possible replacements for projects I'd sold years ago, in case a customer blew drivers, or if one happened to fail. The guy was getting ridiculously abusive, so I blocked him. ![]()
