An electron wave passes through wire at 0.7 times the speed of light. :shock:

Re: Autotuba questions - drivers and box width

Just ordered my flatpack box, 34" wide, from Speaker Hardware. Going with two 8" Image Dynamic ID8D2 V4 drivers. Being that I have a quad voice coil sub currently I can simply pull all four connections and run one lead to each voice coil on the 8's, so 2 per driver. that gives me 48W per v...
