[quote="Justin from Detroit"]Well no, it wasn't this sub that changed my mind. If you'll note, I have had the ARC subs and component amp for a few months now, but never bought the subwoofer amp. It wasn't because I didn't have the money, it was because I knew I didn't want the ARC stuff, I just hadn't decided what to replace it with.
Oh and the price for the 32mm Eclipse sub...... about $125 shipped ]

Set up a groub buy? pretty please? :happy055:

Yeah I love my eclipse head unit, but the manual sucked. Thats why I figured out the EISERV stuff and wrote my own for ther people to use.

FYI, the techies don't know anything about their subs :D I found that out pretty quickly.

Me: Can you give me the full T/S parameters for the SW8122.DVC, since I can't find any info on your website or the manual?

Tech: Hmm, sorry, we don't have that info. Would you like a box recommendation?

Me: Yeah, since I can't get the full T/S info

Tech: Hold on, let me type in the sub model into our box simulator program thingy....

The enclosure he recommended me turned out being around 1.5 cu ft net tuned in the mid 40s for a 12" sub. Riiiight. We ended up getting crap recommendations like that for everything, so we just started designing our own boxes.

I have noticed that. There is a lack of info, but I figure the manual will take care of most of what I need.

I guess they are a little lower then the TI's. The TI's have slightly more Xmax, 6.35 mm to be exact. But in exchange for the slightly more xmax, it has a much smaller cone area. TI's also have a higher RMS by 300w. I would guess the output to be pretty similar, actually.

In all seriousness tho, that sub looks like quite the performer. Ive always liked Eclipse subs..just never had the money to get some. Cant wait for the review!
It is kinda weird, actually. If you just go to http://www.Eclipse-Web.com and try to find ANY info on that sub, YOU CAN'T. But if you type in that subwoofer model in Google, that page I linked is one of the first results. The same goes for their old model head units. Try finding any info about the CD8445, you can't. Now search for it on Google, and viola! They keep the information saved on their website, just not readily available apparently.
