A question came to mind, and forgive me if it's a dumb one. 

Would CS5i woofer mass loading (ie MDF pucks) cause cone sag / voice coil rub over time?

Not dumb. True. Rotate 180 degrees.

hi Tom,  this is from Steve B @ BAT:

Hi Kent,

We do not bridge our amps to mono from stereo. We parallel the inputs and outputs,Mention that to Tom.  The paralleling makes them better in every way – no drawbacks,

Ron- I agree!

Good to hear from you again. 

The test will be conducted in mono. I will have an A/B/C/D/E test. 

Since it will be done in mono one CS 7.2 XO will be used for B/C/D/E test and one XO will be stock A test. 

Every aspect of this notch filter test will be identical including the output levels. The only variable is taking the same wire and moving it to B/C/D/E notch filter. So very controlled and consistent test. 

I looked at your system page and see you brought the right amp to the party for your CS 7.2. It takes a certain amp to push that 12" driver and do it with control. 

I bet they are engaging. 

I am in N. Carolina and really appreciate your offer to aid in this testing. If you are ever this way in your travels my door is open to you and even more so as a CS 7.2 owner. 

What made you settle on the CS 7.2 over other models?
