i cant find the post were dan commented on the LMT thing, but the conclusion was that in the end was that it needs a TON of power to get loud and certain pieces add cost to the driver and someone had a prototype and got the result that it needed to run with at LEAST 2000 rms or some crazy thing like that to get loud, damn i wish i could find it.

they wind the coil so it has ridges and valleys...

BL is rather simple to measure, and modify... you've got the flux, and the wire..

XBL^2 modifies the flux field in relation to the wire, LMT modifies the wire in relation to the flux field..

I'm not sure that their subs use that topology yet, I think it's still yet to come. I was just saying to keep your eyes open to see if it's a definite thing.

I like the solobaric 12's bl curve. lol

I'm pretty sure though that I'll go with a 15" RL-P now. The price is good, and even if I'm not satisfied, I can always resell it and get some money back.

i really want a couple of the sound spliter 8"s, id say go with them i would sure try and they are at a great price.

yea...true. Everything has its drawbacks tho. Very interesting design tho.

I'm sure it has it's drawbacks in some area or another. I'm curious to see the design of it, though.

WOW...^that^ is impressive.

Me likey!!

Well, the Sound Splinter is rated at about 750 rms actually, and they say it's known to run at 1000-1200 watts so the consumer knows he doesn't have to stick to 750 rms just because that's the suggest wrms. I'm sure the sub is underrated, most good quality drivers can take more than their suggest ratings. I've heard a lot of good things about Sound Splinter, and they use TC Sounds technology, so I don't see how the Id Max is so much more superior. Thanks for your input though.
