I was kinda wondering that when I first laid eyes on them. After seeing what you guys can do to them, im sure it only further compounds that restriction.

Ever put any thought into a custom chassis with more heat dissipation? Or is that just not an option?

That's what the copper heatsinks are all about....and the snap-on fans...

At the SPL's created when needing a fan it's not noticeable.

Of course I was joking around, but microphonics should become way less relevant no matter the source, be it fans or chassis vibration due to high SPL's.

Just a thematic consistency thing.

Guess I forgot the smiley face.

What fan? I can't hear no fan

Nice Ron!

Not sure if you caught it but I uploaded a video this morning. Waking the beast.

I have no doubt.

Would copper plating on factory heatsinks help with cooling? Do you have a link to these snap- on fans?

No Doug, the perfect heatsink would bee anodized copper. Anodizing increases the the heatsink capability by 4 or 5 times. An amazing difference. I build the snap-on fans

Is copper the best at heat dissipation? Just thinking wouldn't a more porous metal work better? Plus the corrosion factor of copper would decrease it also. Just wondering through the neighborhood and thought I would stop by. Never mind.

Are the factory heatsinks aluminum? Anodized?

I can wire a large computer fan into a wall wart for the SX-D7000 but I have to give it one more inch of clearance than it has (not hard) to circulate back out and in summer it's not a problem as I use a large oscillating 3-speed stand fan and don't mind some breeze.

It has to blow down into the vent grille and have space to draw air, meaning I should likely build a tube for it to breathe.

What is going to be the name of the amps?

 

[Northwinds]

I vote for:

Surreal Fidelity

Full Definition of SURREAL 1 : marked by the intense irrational reality of a dream; also : unbelievable , fantastic

Sort of sums up a WOPL pretty well

Hadn't thought about it much,, White Oak something I suppose..

 

[BubbaH]

You could always use letters and existing numbers. Letters could denote who built it, for example, White Oak L500, if it was Lee that built it. If someone else built it, say Jer, could be a White Oak J500. Or reverse it so they are the same with the letter afterwards for who built it. White Oak 500-J.

Of course that could also be defined in serial numbers.

Thought anything that got in the speakers way it would blow them over.

They sound pretty damn good below Mach 8 also....
