I'm Lost?

Absolutely... I think people too often feel constrained by their degree...
In the job market, the degree gets you in - therein may lie one constraint - but experience affords you flexibility and movement, even to a completely new career field.

Working for Great Lakes Bureau here in Buffalo, I was part of a strategic IT team, working with business analysts, and helping implement a unique data-mining technology to help drive corporate strategy...
One of our primary consultants for teaching us this fascinating and high-tech technology had her PHD...


....in Linguistics.

 

Today, tomorrow...
All day, all night...
you know, the usual.. :bag:

 

Just like them 1-900 numbers?


maybe it'll cost less to call u



maybe not... haha

I know which will be more enjoyable tho!

 

Yep, VP, R&D, co-owner...

We did do the 1600M1, which unfortunately turned into a "limited production" amplifier, due to our buildhouse going through some internal reorganization.

We hadn't much luck getting our XBL^2 design turned into a properly built prototype with our original buildhouse, so we have turned to a new buildhouse that we are more comfortable with, and they've helped us evolve the design several times... but we hadn't released for many reasons... one being that we hadn't yet signed our XBL2 license, and hence didn't have our FEA software - all the prototypeing we were doing was not using Adire's prebuilt toolset. Another being we kept finding ways to push the thing farther in the direction that we wanted.

The final thing that's kept us away is that we've been (and still are) seeking funding, investors. We don't want to have to rely on pre-orders, because some recent pre-orders have taken astronomical periods of time to turn into delivery... 8, 9 months.. even longer.
Unfortunately, I think this puts a self-fulfilling curse on preordering at this point... not many people feel "really great" about the prospects.

We're going to largely leave our initial product launches to be a surprise, but one item that we've leaked as an "initial launch product" is going to be a basic subwoofer, a higher performance, lower cost entry level subwoofer. B)

 

Welcome to the boards josh! I'm wondering if you're the josh that i talked to a while back about the magnum d2. So many damn joshes on these forums that i get confused a bunch about who the hell i'm talkin to. Either way, you are very welcome over here im sure. Glad to see ya...

 

Not last night :angry:

I left you a message. I'll try to give you a buzz tonight.

Cort, It was this Josh who you were talking with. I remember you mentioning it.

Josh, speaking of the D2, what are you doing with it now?

 

Doesn't have to be Dan and Adire to release such a product, does it? B)

:lol:

 

Yea Josh, the 10w7 most likely has a permanent home in my hands. I love this sub. I was moments away from getting the Magnum D2, but my good ol buddy chris hipped me to a sweet ass deal on a 10w7. I dont regret a thing. Its easily the loudest sub i've ever owned, but that isn't my biggest concern. It sounds awesome! It blends oh so well with the PL's when i want it to, and it pounds out when i want to listen to my most bass heavy hip hop. There are of course draw backs. Its huge, its heavy, and it demands plenty of space. Space i dont mind giving it. And the weight of the woofer doesn't bother me. My car is slow as it is. :yes:

Those old dub sixes are great sounding woofers. Your decision was good. OOOOHHHH and the tantrums. :gunsmilie: Me Loves those amps. GREAT crossover, does rated power, and as clean as they need to be. I just took a 600.4 out of my car after using it for my thanksgiving traveling. I Highpassed my mid and tweets on the 1&2 channels. Bandpassed the midbass on the 3&4 channels all with the amps crossover. I thought the ability to bandpass the 3&4 channels was sweet. With my Tru T4.65 that will be here next week, i'll have to use the amps crossover in conjunction with my HU's crossover to bandpass my midbass. In the end i plan to be running PG titaniums. Got the 600.2 and i'll probably have the 500.4 in a few months.

And yes seth, its nice to have somebody here who likes what i like. Running JL subs, PG amps. :love:

uh oh...adire is getting competition..

 

I've always been a JL fan myself, actually.

Part of that is because my own trio of 10W6's is still thumping along... they are headed toward their 9th birthday, how's that? B)

We also have a 10W7 in our testing arsenal... I'm not ashamed to say that we use it as a benchmark to compare our own products against.
Bart also has a 300/2 and a 500/1 that I believe he's actually got permanently installed in his own vehicle... and I've got a JL 6.5" XR set permanently installed in my own personal ride.
I've also done countless installs with 10W0's (including a Nissan minitruck that I've owned for the past few years), and other JL subs...
I don't have a negative story to tell, which is more than I can say for my experiences with companies like MA Audio, Audiobahn, and others like them.

 

I, for one, can say that I've seen this woofer already....and it's going to give both the XXX and the Brahma some HEAVY competition...sounds good too...

 

I love your system. I just beed to know how i can tweak mine out so that i have godd overall sound with alot of bass.

 

Hi, Brian!
