an spl box can be musical, but not necessarily at high levels. imo nothing sounds better than an spl at low levels, very smooth with great output.

 

adire called it quits last year, good stuff to be had though. They had some supply issues when they took their production off shore.

 

well ok so here we go again. The AB is stable at .7ohm does not have to be wired at .7ohm can run at 1ohm or 2ohm and can go down to .35ohm<< not recommended but can be done). My setup is very musical to a certain point box is tuned to 44hz so its not ur everyday system as i told you but thats only due to the box not the sub. As stated above adire is no longer around but that does not mean they were not good with matts system the 2 12's he could pull over 145 all day long and thats with only roughly 2000w to them in a box tuned to 34hz. But that was no spl setup a pure dd. I do believe seight owned a adire product at one time so he could tell you of there quality. As far as me ripping u off i would have no reason for this as stated it wouldnt cost u a penny for install as long as you buy all meterials needed.
And nor would i try to sell defective equipment as i told you (u could get the amp benched for 15$) if u wanna make sure it works properly. But i mean u do what u do but for 1000$ give or take a $$ u would have an incredible sub/amp combo and thats low considering the sub u saw in my car cost more then you would spend forthat entire amp/sub/box package. Sure there are entire systems you could buy for 1000$ deck/comps/amps/and sub but the amp and subs in that kinda package wouldnt hold a candle to the amp and sub ive told u about yes audioblah amps can say 3500 watts all day long but it all comes down to them actually doing those number which they want and that AB will do it and laugh at you.

 

This coming from the person that has never had a sealed box in his trunk.....

I have build numberous boxes both sealed and ported and without question the sealed enclosure will sound better and have better response then a ported enclosure. Ported gets loud and can sound good, sealed sounds good to great and sacrifices volume for response, blend, timing and overall sound quality.





OP,

Dennis found you an amazing setup. You will have a hard time beating that setup for the price and it would be ashame to let that go and buy something of poorer quality for the same price or more.
