OP

Quoted from davegauth:

The thread definitely didn't end and new areas are still being explored. It's s living thread. With all the current posts, with more work still being done, and all the great posts and help by everyone showing their work and trials - well it'll keep on going.
People who don't take the time to read the thread, and want a quick answer may be disappointed. Also people with ADD and lacking what we call "The social skills" may also find it a bit disappointing.
I have been working on a project for someone, and its taking a little time. It's helping me explore a few new things that I can then post back here. Keep in mind the writeups and the work behind them take a ton of time, coin too - all of which is subject to my boring life getting in the way.
So the thread didn't end or conclude anywhere, and all the posts of people showing off their own adventures add more and different breathe to it. There are so many cool posts of what others are trying and working on that it excites me to read them and geek out over the writeups.
The only real conclusions made thus far are.
First real whoa moment comes when you replace both the backbox speakers and the cabinet speaker with good quality speakers.
Second real whoooa moment comes when you add an amp to those nice new speakers.
There are some other nice tidbits along the way too. Like, the emperor looks silly with no clothes on, Pyles stink, so do the beloved Kenwoods, vendors are insecure, and sooooooo much more.
Anyway, threads not dead - more to come so keep checking in and pull bits and pieces out that help you and post your own testing and thoughts, help with questions that pop up as well.
