I didnt know Eminence made custom drivers,a guy in a facebook group told me had Eminence make him some custom drivers that takes 7ooo watts of power,weighs over 100 pounds,has 50 MM of xmaxx and he put them in tapped horns

He also says he likes tapped horns better than folded horns because folded horns have higher distortion.At that point i stopped talking to him.

I very much doubt Eminence had anything to do with that driver, and yes, he doesn't have a clue, as tapped horns have higher THD than front loaded horns. Plus there's no advantage to using a driver of that sort in a horn anyway. My bet is that he's just plain full of it.

Thats basically what i told him.

As I prefer to say: "Not TAKES 7000 watts, REQUIRES 7000 watts. (or 3500) "

More amp = more $$$

Those things are simply made to look impressive in a car installation. I laugh when I see these guys claiming thay have a 1000w sound system in their cars. I assure you, if I take a 50W Marshall head and a quad box, drag it into their car and fire it up at ful volume, it will take your ear drums (and probably your windows) out for good

Yeah, these guys sitting in a car with a kilowatt at 25Hz doesn't impress me. However, if the guy could sit with the windows rolled up listening to a kilowatt or so at 1Khz through some efficient speakers, that would be impressive. I'd even pay money to watch!

Bill and I both know eminence's chief designer. Pretty sure he'd have nothing to do with that. And they don't do one offs.

I'm an engineer. I build things, I design things, I make stuff work. I had to concede a number of years ago that engineers don't make all the money; marketing, manufacturing, supply chain, service etc make money too.

The specifications aren't the only reason that a product may 'work' for someone.

In reference to the Eminence Engineer, there is nothing that I would despise more than someone taking my work, butchering it, defacing it, breaking it, adding crap and then to keep me 'happy', put my name all over it.... I have no idea what point if any I'm trying to make. Maybe I've had a bad day.

I think I've seen that motor before.
Pictured below, are five of them attached to a NASA subwoofer / rocket.

Honestly, I saw Interstellar last weekend -- loudest movie I've seen (during the rocket launches anyway)
Couldn't help but pull out my phone RTA app to measure the low end -- peaking during the rocket blasts at 30 Hz!

"Houston, we have a problem" sorry, just saw Apollo 13 the other night. "number 5 has quit firing. 'no problem 13, just use the other 4'
