Tekton 4-10 Subwoofer

I have looked at a bunch of Tekton spec's.  Eric does fudge sensitivity,  but his other spec's look like they are fairly close and in the end,  I can usually see how he gets his sensitivity ratings.  Lets look at his sub. He rates it at 100db @ 2.83v.  Most of you know that it takes 2.83 volts to produce 1 watt of power when being delivered to an 8 ohm load.  Well,  anytime a load is less than 8 ohms,  2.83v produces more than 1 watt of power.  For instance,  it takes 2.0v to produce 1 watt at 4 ohms.  
This subwoofer is most likely quite good.  The question is will the amp he is using be reliable.  I am going to lay down some assumptions here.  Lets say that these 10 inch woofers are average woofers,  8 ohm and 88db sensitivity.  When you pair them up,  you have 2 pair @ 91db 4 ohm, when you do another parallel connection,  you now have 94db 2 ohm.  When you take put 2.83v into this 2 ohm load,  it adds essentially 6db which would make these 100.  
Or if they are 16 ohm 88db woofers,  you would end up with an output of 97db @ 2.83v.  Eric rates most of his speaker systems output @ 2.83v regardless of impedance and from what I can tell, typically adds another 3db to his rating for "In Room Response".... which is not crazy unusual. My reliability question would come into play If Eric had this down to a 2 ohm load.... Of course,  he could use Series Parallel wiring which would up impedance,  but then,  I can't imagine these being Excellent.  Sealed box woofer wired out of phase causes fairly funky bass.  I hope all of this helps a bit on what could be going on.  It would be nice if Eric would chime in.... He could answer this easily  

I'm sure that amp plate will be as reliable as any other, they are tried and true. Heck,  REL uses them in their "Speedwoofer" along with others. 

I just ordered a pair of 4-10's, Double Impacts upgraded and the Double Impact Wide center.  Looking forward to experiencing these, although it will be a while since basement lounge is just starting construction.

"cheap drivers"

there's a helpful comment.  I've used SOTA drivers that did not deliver the superb sound of Eric's offerings.  All the while using "cheap drivers."  I really don't give a rip if the uninformed audio community continues to bash a product they have never listened to.  But I am thankful to Tekton for offering products that far outperform the competition.  I mean, for the love of Pete, any other money grubbing corporate would have tripled the price of the Double Impact by now given it's success.  But, oh crap, it's still 3k.  The same price it originally listed for.  Just can't be any good.

The pair of 4-10s are now in place, right next to the Double Impacts.  They produce copious amounts of tight bass. My room is just over 22 ft. wide by 13.5 ft. deep with 9 ft. ceilings and I have the gain on each sub at about 15%.  It took around 3 weeks to receive from the time of order.  For some unknown reason (even though they were picked up at the same exact time by FedEx), one was delivered one afternoon and the other the next evening - I will never understand FedEx.  We live kinda out-of-town a bit though.  They essentially look like the DIs, but a bit shorter.  I think I have them crossed over at around 55 Hz and the phase is at 0 degrees.  I only have about 10 hours maybe of play time on them, but I think they are really nice sounding subs, especially for $800 each.  To me, they fill in the gap between the DIs and my HSU VTF-15H subs in the corner.  I was not planning on using the VTFs as well, but I am experimenting with setting the VTFs x-over way down near 35-37 Hz and bringing the gain slightly up from where I had it before the Tekton 4-10s were introduced into the system.  And a reminder... this is only a 2-ch system - no home theater/surround.
