All commercially available amps can be used for this test. The $100 is a modest fee so people dont take the test an excessive amount of times. BTW RC used to beleive that he could hear the difference in amps, until he began to study what it was that he was actually hearing.

I asked RC how close people have been. I suspected that someone probubly got a high score just by the number of people that were tested "------nearly anyone believes they can pass it till they actually fail at it-------my experience is that when folks take it only one in ten accepts the obvious...

Colton whats your name over at CAF? I am jfr0.

I used to have a shiva in my car, but now I have a brahma 12. The shiva was in a 1.5 cube box about .8 qtc and 400 watts Brahma is now in a 1.0 cube box for a .707 qtc with 1200 watts .707 works out pretty well for car audio because of cabin gain. All Adire products are incredible for...

If you are going with a tempest 4 cubes tuned to 24, is considered the tempest box by Dan Wiggings and others for car.

Shivas have been used with good results in the car audio world, where low end is augmented by cabin gain. Put a shiva in a 1.3-1.7 cube box (I had mine in about 1.5). You only really need about 300-400 watts, the driver is very efficient. Oh and one more thing, Brahma:D

Wouldnt a larger magnet increase the BL and lower the qes?

If only I could spend thousands on electronics ...

So what are some good 2-channel amps in your opinion. Also what should I look for in a preamp?

I am still here I have been watching this thread closely. Only Problem is I have very limited space to place the speakers away from the wall. With that in mind I am still looking closely at the av1's and kit-81m's.

Where can I find info about the m8a's?

Can Anyone compare the AV1 to the KIT81M? They are pretty much the same price. Thanks, Jack

Well it looks like I am taking the plunge into DIY speakers! Right now it seems that gr-research av1 and adire kit KIT81(M) are in the forfront. Thanks A lot, Jack

This is my first post on a HT forum, I am more of a car audio guy, so bear with me. Right now I am looking to upgrade the speakers in my stereo setup in my room. Right now I have some jbl hls 610's running off an onkyo 50x2 reciever, which might be upgraded in the future. I am also going to...
