here's some more info on AP boxes:

that link has some drawings/diagrams.

perfect. thanks.
and not to rudely interupt the thread, but when they said "For this price you get improved mechanical power handling, excellent transient response and trunk space." i really need somewhere to spend the extra 800 or so watts i have going to each sub. should this help significantly in that regard?

also, a bit more perspective on the issue.

they will be about a 100 more than the other xxx and due out in novermber. i talked to re yesterday.

well, the mechanical power handling essentially goes up a bit due to having more resistance on the movement of the driver's cone mass imposed by the aperiodic membrane. I don't know that I'd say it'd be 800 watts worth of resistance.. at that point of overpowering, you'd be better off just decreasing the signal going to the amplifier a bit so it doesn't put the full power into the speakers.

i currently have my system set to perform optimally at 23 out of 35 on the 9835. full clean and without distortion (i can still push 25 and get clean signals though). my HU is 4 volts out. so i'm looking to have the subs perform optimally between 23-25 without failure according to the IASCA test tones towards the end of the CD (so that i can play just about anything without having to be worried about mechanical failure). by the time you hear problems on the brahma, it's really too late.
so do you suggest i just listen to music significantly lower than 23, or is there a way to adjust the sensitivity to "accomodate my demands?"

yeah. i talked to Dan yesterday and he said that Adire just received their last big shipment. so they will fill those last orders and provide pics on the website within the following two weeks. essentially, that probably equates to november also, based on adire's previous clocks.
but judging by the looks of the new model and the visual performance of the prototype, 100 extra bones seems pretty fair to me.
