And it gave you the opportunity of make one sexy video!

Bonus Track. "Does you daughter have any religious beliefs?" "No, why?" "You ever heard of exorcism". "Well, it's a stylized ritual in which a rabbi or priest try to drive out the so called invading spirit". Then that hideous laugh insues. "Ha haa haa haa haaaa".

But for sure, these OA's are really looking good for the money. Man, I want one of those O-scopes.

We also break them in prior to shipping so there's no need to do any of that.

And from the moment you get them to broken-in very well the Cms may change from 71 to 80, which is a nominal difference overall. That's actually a very good tolerance for a build house between fresh drivers, let alone for a woofer that is freshly built to fully broken in.

anyways i wouldn't of thought they were broken in at first, that seems like a lot of time to be spent putting woofers on sine waves for a long period of time.

I like that idea. Rear seat delete and two fifteens...not in my near future but maybe 6months out. I was looking up re-cones and it might be cost effective to get a Sa-15 d2 and getting a recone and 15" basket....decisions decisions lol I like the way these obsidian woofers look too.
