Some Subwoofer Companies Just Suck the choad

Silver Member Username: Phil_salisburyPost Number: 659 Registered: Sep-06 | This is my rant for the day, he!!, it's been a continuing rant for as long as I can remember. I spent the better part of 45 mins just trying to find mounting and depth info for a MOFO 10" subwoofer and finally found it on some obscure fr!ggin website and I don't know if their ever right of not, BUT, WTF choice do I have. WTF is the malfunction with subwoofer companies that that create a d@mn website for their sh!t and don't even have the fa king common sense to put in the info about the subwoofers basic dimensions info. I got better things to do with my time than go on a search and destroy missions looking for information that sound be on the manufacturers site nor should I have to waste my time calling them only only to here " I am not at my desk right now, please leave a message ". Yeah, while I'm waiting on the return call, the customer mostly likely said " Screw Woodlawn " and went with someone else. I'm all for trying to give the customer the best service possible, but, it's pizzing me off that I can't because I have to waste my time with this bullsh!t. End............. I will say to some satisfaction that there are folks in other subwoofer companies that do go the extra mile for the info I have asked for in the past and to them I am greatly appreciative for their efforts and help they have provided. |

Silver Member Username: Phil_salisburyPost Number: 660 Registered: Sep-06 | Denim, My rant was not aimed toward SSA Audio, All the subwoofer companies that are their have always been kind enough to put up with the requests for info I have asked for and it allows me to go that extra mile myself to help the customer know what will and will not fly within a given design I work on for them. Again, thanks for the info you have and will provide in the future. |

I just need more time to work all the angles, I really wish I had taken more measurements of the space in back, then I know more to what I have to work with. |

It was just one of those things that popped into my mind that could be neat. I would give you more measurements but it would be hard for me to give you real accurate ones. |

It can be seen due to many websites no longer having info on old or retired products or lines. Wish there was a data base that had all technical info (not reviews or videos), for every piece of equipment out there. Would be a great resource. |

Silver Member Username: Phil_salisburyPost Number: 662 Registered: Sep-06 | Denim, Funny you should say about a database for subwoofer technical info. When first started this business back in 95' and needing the info I requested, I had floated the idea around various forums of a technical resource database for subwoofers which I was willing to put on my website. No one wanted to contribute let alone be bothered with providing such information in which to create it. So, I have my own database of info collected and when I get more detailed info on the subwoofer physical spec's, I just add it to the database. Some subwoofer companies do provide such detailed info about their subs, but, ergo my rant, some don't and I don't like wasting time or others folks time to obtain it. What's gives me the case of the red azz is when a product such as a subwoofer is built based off engineering design blueprints which only the relevant dimensional info can be posted. Best example of this the Rockford Fosgate: http://i29.photobucket.com/albums/c251/MrCabinetry/Various%20Pics/SubwooferSpecs Example.jpg Everything right there, no need to look any further or hound anyone at the company for info. If more detailed info about the subs dimensions are needed, just use the subwoofer to note what additional info is needed and they can get it from the blueprints. And any company that doesn't have the engineering design blueprints of their product, well, that's just dumb. |

Silver Member Username: Phil_salisburyPost Number: 663 Registered: Sep-06 | Yanks, Dude, I'm sorry to say that I can't do anything with the design of the enclosure that will allow the amps and the enclosure to look like one integrated install. It's basically a problem of the enclosure requirements with the ports needed, the size of the subwoofer and size of the amps. I should of did a full detailed measurement layout of the rear area when we were at the meet and i should of taken pic's as well. |
