    Wow those look awesome and remind me of the mega buck Kinergetics sub from years past. I can't believe you would want to sell them.:confused:What do you have planned as a replacement for them?

    Russ is like a hillbilly mad scientist type. I'm sure there will be a huge pile of mdf 'dust' in his future.

    Being an avid speaker builder I can tell you this is a phenomenal price for these subs. Not only will you have more output than you will ever need but the minimized distortion you're getting with these is unreal. Spreading the load over 8 drivers really mitigates any problems you'll have with low-end distortion, which is the most important distortion to worry about. I won't get into why, but just trust me on this! :p

    Another nice thing about these is their sensitivity. They're rated at 88.5 dB/1w, which is pretty typical of a 12" sub. Now, since you're running 8 instead of 1 you gain an additional 9dB of sensitivity. What does that mean? Well, I'd love to tell you!

    Single 12" - 1w = 88.5dB, 10w = 98.5dB, 100w = 108.5dB, 200w = 111.5dB, 400w = 114.5dB, 800w = 117.5dB

    Eight 12" - 1w = 97.5dB, 10w = 107.5dB, 100w = 117.5dB

    I know the single 12 can't take 800w but as this shows you can get the same output out of the 8 12s with 100w that a single 12 would get with 800w. In all honesty, you could probably get away with a 50-100w amp and call it a day. That in itself will save you $$$ from not having to upgrade to a much larger amp. And, the ability to have STEREO subs...gah!

    Ok, I'm done. I really hope someone grabs these!

    I actually ran the numbers to NJ on the last run of this ad, freight has gone crazy with the fuel costs, 400lbs. to 07710 (guessed at your zip code) is close to 400.00, reduce that by 55.00 if you have a commercial address they can be shipped to. but add some to these figures for packing material.

    Mazeroth is right, these have amazing output abilities, and right now both are running off one Adcom 565, at concert levels, the single Adcom has even blinked it's distortion lights.

    Man, you guys keep posting how assume they are, I might rethink selling again lol.

    Limited time offer :)

    bump lol these are still here and again not in use.

    I can bring them to Polkfest 09 in South Carolina.

    I have a Crown K1 I can sell if you need a power amp.

    Or the Aragon amp I am selling would go great with these.

    How does these compare to any other subs you've heard? How much do you think it will cost to ship one tower to Milwaukee Wi 53223?

    It's funny because I Googled "VMPS Subwoofer" and a picture of your sub came up.

    That is a very nice design you made!
