Well, you probably know my answer... Wait for our components. These were designed to compete with Dynaudio, Focal, Rainbow Pro, Morels, etc. But at a price point (under $350) that most people can afford.

Our mibass is a custom semi-exponential poly cone, inverted roll rubber surround, and an extremely linear motor and suspension (7mm of one-way linear excursion). FLAT frequency response: +/- 1.5 dB from 100 Hz to 5 kHz.

Tweeter is a custom 2 layer ring dome, with an extremely flat off-axis response. It's a polyamide base with a vapor-deposited aluminum layer on it. Ferrite magnet, surface or flush mountable, VERY smooth and detailed sounding.

Crossover is (of course) full custom. And we're using polypropylene caps (not the standard mylar or electrolytic units found in other XOs) and all air core inductors. It is a 4th order Linkwitz Riley crossover design.

Overall, the system is extremely flat and neutral; in-car measurements show the unit to be +/- 2.5 dB from 70 Hz to 20 kHz, when the speakers are mounted in the typical low door/kickpanel location and the response is measured at the drivers head-rest. True 4 Ohm impedance, good power handling (150W RMS).

Anyway, that's just some of my thoughts on the units! We're still shooting for a September release of the components, so the end is not too far off!

Do you have any preliminary specs with regaurds to cutout diameter, magnet diameter, depth, etc.? I am considering a doorpod design for the units and need to know if it will fit without massive door modifications. I want to be able to return the doors to a stock appearance if nessicary so this is a concern. Sadly, my ?s about AD are seeming to go unanswered :angry: , so these are becoming a good possibility.

Also, what, if anything, are you going to do about a satisfaction garentee? I am concerned about buying the units and being displeased (I am really a stickler on tweets), and as you know, I prefer to buy manufacturer direct. Besides, dealing with you directly has always been a pleasure. There are few stores I trust on the internet, actually 2, you and Mike, and I would rather keep my buisness with you 2. Thanks Dan.

Wow... I had no idea Adire was making a component set :blink: Looks like I may have to replace my JL Audio XRs after all (been very very happy with them). Could go all Adire for sound, to match my 15" Brahma

My thoughts exactly. Good to see you here sundownz. I need all the help I can get here. We Brahma guys need to stick together

 

I'll have dimensions and a teaser page posted later today, on the website.

Satisfaction guarantee will be the same as with other products; see our Warranty Page for our warranty, satisfaction guarantee, and other details. Basically 30 days.

Sundownz,

Yeah, I try to stay busy... I wanted to get these rolling before the last quarter of the year, and it looks like we'll just sneak it in.

Hehe, thats right man! I got a friend of mine to order a 12" Brahma, he just got his in yesterday and he is SO excited. He's waiting on his JBL BP1200.1 to install it all, gonna build him a heavily braced 1 ft^3 box for it. Everyone who has heard my sub wants one now. I imagine if I got the Adire components the reaction would be very similar B)
