Any news on a new group buy?

Kims car has a KDC X579, it is a huge upgrade form the 2025.

Hi Luke

I have one of each and about ready to start putting a
system in my vert. I think the 579 is the newer one.
are the ok or other recomendations.
thanks

Yea, I would love to buy one. Too bad Luke's busy making E34 boxes instead.

Soon soon, I promise! No orders for E34 boxes, oddly enough. I have to build one for my own car, then I'm gonna finish getting my E30 back on the road and another small project (wink wink) and the box fest begins again.

Might be by the end of this coming week, dunno for sure yet.

How would you compare the coustic to, say, an IDQ10v3?

Personally, I have no love for the cheapie ID woofers. Stamped steel frame, 2" voice coil, should be about $50 to $70, but they charge about $120. No thanks.

This new IDq V3 on the other hand....not so hot on the plastic (oh sorry...fiberglass composite) basket with (woo-fucking-hoo!) a replaceable motor structure (seriously, woohoo!) and all great specs, shows my normal designs as "Audiophile", has terrific specs EXCEPT that the bastards don't show moving mass...sunzabitches NEED to tell us how much that cone and voice coil weigh goddammit!

Yeah, have not seen that one yet. Certainly have not worked with one either. However, if someone wants one, I bet I can get a pretty damn good price. I see $239 as a common price point, and I am just certain I can do better.

Oh yeah..the coustic is a great $60 woofer. Cast aluminum, 2" VC, decent all the way around...but it is a $60 woofer.

fucking whales still with no probs

I think you mean wails. Otherwise it just gets weird. :???:

[dashboardmonkey]

i stuffed that sony explod woofer in my 10" luke bow, i had to remove that plastic ring and cut half of the metal ring off.

it fucking wails still with no probs

these boxes are top quality and fit perfectly

BUY THIS SHIT!!!!!!

[quickervicar]

Luke, I just test-fitted my old JL 10W3V2 dual-coil into your box and it fits perfectly.

[StereoInstaller1]

Has anyone from this GroupBuy installed a sub in their box yet? The opening in mine seems small(see photo). I got the $60 Sony sub from Walmart that Luke likes but it is 11" in diameter and doesn't fit.

Yeah, damn Sony changed their shit and didn't tell me.

All kinds of stuff fits though. JL should have a few, the coustic "crusher" is the best new cheap woofer I have personally done recently.

From what I can tell, most 10's that aren't serious 5000 watt monsters fit great.

Luke I'd be in for a one when you put the next batch together!

Since I keep getting requests, I am kinda thinking later this month.
