TalkAudio – Seismic Record Breakers

So much for resolutions! I had made rash promises to get the video re-done but failed you! Instead, I’ll sort one of the same rig but better shot and with a new amplifier in the set-up. A Massive Audio Nano N2. It’s bizarrely small and yet is rated at a fat 1,600 watts and it’s CEA 2006 compliant so that cain’t be hogwash, nohow! I have both a DLS RW10 and the MTX Thunder 600
subwoofers in boxes ready to do their thing as references for the amp.
As well as finishing the review of the Massive DB 3000 amp, I also started and completed a write up of a mad van install. Eight Rockford Fosgate fifteens in a small Pug Partner van with scissor doors like a Lamborghini. It was bonkers and we got lucky with the location as we started in a cinder-laid truck park with a burger van and ended up in a fishing lake with WWII gun turrets we could park alongside! It’ll be up soon with a following wind.
I finished the epic task of writing up the 11,000 words about the trade awards that Mobile Electronics news commissioned and am nagging Fast Car to try and obtain some photographs of the mad only-UK Jackhammer install for a full feature for you’ all.
So it’s Nano time on the amp front and my woodworker Richard has been struck down with dry rot (or Rhinoviruses) so there’s a small delay in getting the big old coaxes group test under weigh as the new review reference enclosures won’t be here just yet.
I have some news on the wind about some truly mental installations coming up for next year, including one by a couple of real Known Offenders. John Royce is helping Paul Coughlan put a nest of huge eighteens in a gert big ‘normous ported enclosure in a van. I spoke to Mr. Propper Droppers today as well and he tells me there’s more being built out there….
