We are designing all of the various filters and functionality in-house (and having fun with it too -- been a few years for me but feels good to get back to my roots
although my version of SPICE is a bit out-dated these days
was the digital amp you mentioned working with a few weeks ago (you were comparing to the ICEpower amps, i believe) related to this sub development?
also, when you decide on which of the three designs you're going to move forward with, will you be sharing any information on the differences in your 3 main prototypes with us? i think it would be very interesting to see what sort of things you had in mind, and what didn't make the cut in the final decision.
