Wow, looking good Kevin. If this doesn't satisfy the "more is better" crowd nothing will. A couple of these in an attic IB seems interesting...
Those small people... putting the subs together...I knew the Oompa-Loompas were real!I only wish I could afford 8 of those monsters

A couple of these in an attic IB seems interesting...They are already asking for more believe it or not. The parameters are pretty usable too. I'm going to build some 8 cubic foot passive radiator builds. Big... but not totally off the farm.

Price is going to be $595 for the driver. I have LMS specs but I like to measure all my products with the same method so my T/S parameters are consistent. That requires that I actually have the production run in house. They don't vary that much but I've found that it is a bad idea to release a pre-production set of numbers and then update them when I get actual measurements from a sample of 4-5 drivers from the production run. Some people get nervous about changing parameters while it is nothing more than changes due to the way they are measured. Eight cubic feet is good though for either sealed or I have a small production run of passive radiators. My target box size was 8-10 cubic feet for the resonant builds. You can use a port, but they get incredibly large for this type of driver. You can overload even a 8"-10" port with this thing at full-tilt so the passive radiators make a lot of sense for people who need to maximize the output in a given volume of space. Personally, if it was me, I'd just build them sealed. Easy, cheap and you get plenty of output with this kind of driver no matter what you do with it.
Kevin, It's really awesome to see your creative ideas coming to life in metal. You are really DOING IT! And the new machine tools promise much more to come. Kudos for living your dream and inspiring others. Well, me at least....
Kevin,I think I'd use those in a sealed cabinet as well. They should go low enough that room gain will take care of anything that "might" be missing!I believe I know of a group that needs to hear them when you get the shipment and have some cabinets, maybe used along with a pair of your speakers.Best Regards,TerryO

OK, you get in the back of the truck and I'll slide it in with the Forklift, just give a holler if I've pushed it in too far. Best Regards,TerryO

It isn't a Subaru. It is kind of like a Stealth Fighter with a joystick that basically controls everything. It is really cool once you get it figured out but very dangerous when you first get on the thing.
Kevin was a Ranger? No wonder I like him.

Said he was ex-military, never said he was a Ranger. Kevin, I will be at Bragg next week - will be spending some time with next gen Rangers (75th Ranger Regiment). I guess Kevin is used to "leading the way."
