Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 677 Registered: Apr-05 | Does anyone know when the new Adire line is supposed to be coming out? I want to get 2 Shiva Mark V 15" with dual 8 coils. Those are like SQL drivers right? Is the Koda's pretty similar? What one would be better? They both seem to be able to handle the same ammount of power. |

Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 679 Registered: Apr-05 | Lol. Like if I had e-mailed them 2 months ago they would have told me they would be ready in a couple weeks? Anyway, can anyone answer any of my other questions? |

Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 684 Registered: Apr-05 | GOD! I am geting impatient! lol. Mikechec, would you happen to know if a Shiva is a SQL driver? Especially the 15" version? I would be getting 2 of them and putting them in a sealed box. Do you know the recommended box parameters are? Thanks bro. |

Silver Member Username: Alias747MN Post Number: 686 Registered: Apr-05 | Thanks for the very helpful info, Mikechec. But WTF, their site says that they are 300 watts rms, this pdf says 650 watts rms! Did they like lower the power rating in the new models or something? I need them to be 300 wrms or they are no longer an option for me! That would be really dissapointing. |

Gold Member Username: Mikechec9Http://www.cardomain.c... Post Number: 1025 Registered: May-05 | yeah. they did the same thing to the brahmas. instead of dealing with thermal limits, they backed down the rms considerably to ensure a reduced return on blown subs (as the enclosure determines the continuous power handling). in case of the brahma, 1600 watts would be for a very small box, like less than .7 cu ft. 600-900 is the true rms in a optimal enclosure, which is more realistic anyway. again, that's in the case of the brahma. although the vc is .5 in shorter on the new B-12, i'm certain it will have similar power handling characteristics as its predecessor mkII, 600-900 watts. the shiva might be similar, 300-650. but the site will be up soon. |
