    Wow.

    Now that I own a pair of SDAs, that thread made me cringe.
    So, are you willing to put forth a little effort or are you happy sitting in your skeptical poo pile?

    Kudos to Face for trying to help him. However, at this point those speakers are nothing but firewood.

    I can't see this link because of Chinese filters...but from the discussion above I understand that some less than grey-mattered fellow has cut some bass ports into an SDA speaker? That's one definitely one for the books! Why not just remove the passive radiator period....that way you could have at least a 12" bass port...? That ought to give you some prodigious bass.

    Just for you...
    I added two ports per cabinet that are 5''L x 2"W. If these ports are too small I can replace them with larger ones.

    and.....
    Finally I decided to use 1 12'' woofer instead of the two 6 1/2'', port the cabinet, and I replaced half of the pioneers with the pyles. The pioneers aren't needed now, so I'm just using them to seal the holes, though they do sort of act like passive radiators.

    Now, he wonders why they sound like crap.......Hilarious!

    Thanks F1nut!

    Wow...It's much WORSE than I ever could have imagined....that's some unbelievable workmanship there...I wonder if this guy also does yard work?

    It's rare to see a speaker that actually frightens you and makes you want to turn away--a regular Picture of Dorian Gray there!
