(this was part of a longer thread, but breaking it up, looking for specifics) |

Good stuff, I think I might pick up a Crystal CMP with my next paycheck, and see how it compares to my Type R. |

Mouse. the ID didn't get very good comments, but did well in the tests. cone hitting tensil leads looks very possible from picture too. that can't be good. neither can touching together, lol. whole thing being magnitized sounds odd. i've heard that the SoundSplinter rl-i 8 is a TC2+ motor, even though TC doesn't use that motor in an 8 inch sub. that rl-i 8 still looks great. the Crystal CMP looks nice too and did well in the test, but how could i get one?? theres no one on the list even close to GA. The AA Assassins just look cheap compared to these other subs. i'm kinda leaning towards the rl-i 8 right now. |
