Tom Zarbo is a flashlight guy. He has some pretty cool ones. When I need flashlight advice he's the guy I send an email to.
I wont lie , Im kind of into " torches" too , but not the type that PE sells . Surefires , Fenix and the such. The kid would give me shit about the flash light collection , sigh .....
Wow! My Wavecor tweeters finally arrived today. Awesome looking tweeters. Can't wait to use them. I think they could be a serious home run paired with some Rival kevlar woofers I have

I'm not against passive radiators at all, but when I don't see them as a requirement there is no way I'm going to spend almost as much for a pair of PR's as I did for the pair of woofers. I the case of the Rival R176-KVC woofers, a very managable box size and port size will work great. And have I mentioned I don't always shoot for the absolutely lowest F3 alignment?
Great woofer at a great price, but I have more stock than I need. Just looking for thoughts on the two. I would imagine the MCM is more geared towards a three-way.
Thanks Scott, I thought those turned out sounding really good. Much better midrange than I expected.
Mitchell, having used both drivers and I agree with you. They are both great drivers. I'd give the "Roemer" Bass edge to the MCM driver due to its better Xmax, but I've never heard it crossed above 600 Hz. So yes, great woofer for a 3 way.
I think the Peerless is an awesome woofer too. It might get slightly beat in the super low bass range but that Nomex cone just sounds great crossed up to 1500 Hz in my experience. At the sale price I need to seriously distract myself from buying 4 more of them.
On a side note.... PE selling them for %50 off shows us all about how much markup there truly is with drivers. I'm sure Stahl doesn't roll in a Kia.
I liked the stinger gt2 I tested quite a bit! Didn't handle *quite* as well as I'd like, but was very practical, comfortable, and fast in a straight line. A great GT car. Ended up with a Golf R because I could get one CPO easier and the stinger was too new for that, and also because the handling is substantially better & it's just as fast in a straight line. But I could easily live happily with the Stinger, and there were things about it I prefer.
Been trying to talk mama into a twin turbo, v-6, awd, Kia Stinger. She says she would rather have a minivan. WE WILL NEVER HAVE A MINIVAN!
I said the same thing before I had kids - the wife won that battle. We still have our 2003 Sienna for some reason. It only gets driven a few times a year, when one of the kids needs to move furniture at college. They abused the hell out of it and it eats tires, but it's the best engine Toyota ever made!

I'll have to find the baffle layout drawing and crossover schematic and post them up.
I see Stahl as possibly a used supercharged Jaguar guy.
