I'd be game if I ever had time to get to anywhere I could ship something that beastly.

I'd love to test it, but I'm not a reliable shipper.

No USPS near you Paul?

Well yea. I've never shipped anything USPS, I've only used FedEx. Is USPS descent with shipping large fragile packages?

It should be packed securely enough in the factory box. Honestly my stuff gets handled way better by USPS than by UPS or FedEx. Maybe they treat international shipments better? Hmm.

You can have dibs on buying it when we're done the continental testing circuit

This will be very exciting. Mark can put up chunks of the reviews on the review page.

What are the box requirements? I have my 12" TC9 based sub in a 1.8 cuft sealed box right now. I would love to give this a try, but don't have the space to build a different box right now because of the weather. Also, would the Xenon 600.1 be to much power for this sub?

You could always throw some shit in the box to take up airspace. I'm sure it would handle a bit of extra juice as well, and if not, just lower the gains

You are tentative next stop after Portland then. And Paul after you, unless he doesn't want to.

Sounds good! I'll wait for Denim to chime in with box requirements.

For the 12:

Enclosure Recommendations: (starting points to work from)

Sealed: .90 cu.ft.

Ported: 1.75 cu.ft. @ 28-33 hz

Sub Outside Dia.: 12.500”
Cut Inside Dia.: 11.150”
Mounting depth: 6.500”
Displacement: 0.14 ft^3

You can go a little bit smaller with out any noticeable loss in bottom end as they really do well in small ported boxes. You can always go larger until you don't like the sound anymore, or the driver is unloading of course.

I tested in a few different sized sealed boxes and anywhere around 1.1 is a nice area to be in. As mentioned above, if you have a 1.8 box, you can always slug it down to eat up some air space if you don't like the sound at that size.
