Thanks! Now I'm going to pass out for a week. Actually, I have to finish up a few other projects around the house. Ugh. Upgraditis can never be cured.

Jim,

That looks great. How does it sound from a subjective point of view? Good job!

Re: IXL 18 IB project


Very cool, do those grates rattle? Or can you not here it over the whole house rattling.

Thanks! I'm not really going to be critical about it until they are broken in and EQed. First impression "Holy $%#&!". Not very scientific, but you get the idea.

Hey Jim... have you had a chance to do any measurements yet... or did just miss them?

Re: IXL 18 IB project


Jim, I'm anxiously awaiting your results too. I have an IB with four Mach5 MJ-18 drivers and I'd love to see how the new ones compare.


We are the Shack. Existence as you know it is over.
We will add your biological and technological distinctiveness to our own.
You will be mapped. Resistance is futile.

Re: IXL 18 IB project


I was on the Shack researching REW (I forgot how to use it) and I just saw this. Sorry.

Once I figure outq REW I'll post some graphs. Hopefully they won't be embarrassing. lol

Re: IXL 18 IB project


My four IXL IB is sounding great. Unbelievably powerful. Must get lovely wife out of the house to do any tuning with it. I will set it to flat using my trusty Rat Shack meter and then adjust it so it sounds good. I am not a flat is good fan. I have found a lolt of things so far that are excited by the lower frequencies.
