And from my understanding when I asked DD why they don't make carbon fiber cones is because they said it's more expensive then the "kevlar" i used to run the carbon fiber cones they made...they were the ****!

Hmm and I thought the composite cones were supposed to increase "SQ"...I guess I thought wrong. I love learning new stuff. Also I heard that the all carbon fiber cones would shatter and the Kevlar would bend but heard the new composite they have is better than both. I think TVE was bending the kevlar but the new composites they have had no problems???

The SS/Ext subs must hold 30kW easily with kevlar cone. Shocker use kevlar + CF and we dont see cones breaking/bending. Got 180s? World's strongest amplifiers

I think the cones only break when there is a problem in the box??

I have a sample of that sitting right here. Mass is the problem, the aluminum-core material I've seen is very heavy.
