They were running off of 2 0.5's. It was the lowest and cleanest low bass I have heard. Always inspired me he...

zpa 0.3

Could someone tell what the signs are on a zpa 0.3 v.2 as opposed to a v1. I know with the 0.5 it had more fan fins etc. If someone could help that would be great.

Wow... Cyclone parts...

I know it is a long shot but is there or will there be any cyclone stators laying around or any cyclone spares. I thought I might ask considering the amount of spare parts for amps etc... Even the hex screws that hold the torision bar in place... Plexis etc.... If so I can paypal or pay PG direct......

cyclones IB

Ummm.. I am currently playing with 2 cyclones IB. They play well. literally installed 3 x 600.2's. 1 on 2 cyclones, and they work smooth. low bass is phenom and controlled. Power handling is sacrificed a bit but when you have 2 that is plenty air movement. Still playing but the bottom line is they p...

cyclones

Has anyone had to tighten the torsion bar on a cyclone yet? I.e the 2 small screws on the clamp. Spoke to Glenn phillips at PG and he says these sometimes come loose.

Gonna have a go tommorow as one cyclone is not as complient as the other. No scrapping or other noises. Anyone who has let us know.

All of you thanks for the advice. Yeah I am aware of the "Tom Danely" and read some articles. He also said that he intended it more for free air. I also Heard the prototype verision with larry fredricks in 95/96. Alloy chasis. I had one in 97 and ran it 2 cu ft sealed alongside a very earl...

quite strong and convicted

Just remember this was a basic test to see if the woofers were working correct. We were just suprised it hammered the way it did. Your right it hit with authority but the box seriously stoped the cyclone from the full presence it has at 30 odd hz. As for dynamic response. I will beg to differ. W7's ...

you have loads of room for a cyclone there!

Just seen your install. Nice like it a lot. Marko get that 2250 mono on your cyclone! It will blow those ID'd away for low bass. Hoping to have my cyclones in and ready to compete on the 15th july. Spent far to much money on nostalga! time to get it playing.
