Hey guys,

This is a project I've been working on for a while... it's origins date back to 2009 with my unfinished 4" coil Neo design (some may remember it) :

http://www.caraudioclassifieds.org/forum/sundown-audio/19945-proto-neo-4-motor.html

I put the whole thing on hold to concentrate more on things that would really grow the company & our dealer base. That being said... fast forward 5 years now and I have the opportunity and ability to work on this again.

As far back as 2009 I knew I wanted to go after my Neo SPL design with a 4" coil -- so I did that again. This time I went for a good bit more Neo and a different / unique design :

So this is my first prototype / first fully completed Neo prototype. This may not be the 100% final version but I think it's close. I should have it in my hands early on in January for testing.

Few quick details that I am releasing now...

1) 4" voice coil

2) 16 slugs of N42H Neo (N48H was a large cost increase with almost no increase in flux)

3) Will be sold in 12s, 15s, and 18s

4) Pricing is TBA as I go over all the final costs of the motor... certainly not cheap; the motor itself costs about as much as 7 pcs Z v.4 motors based on my early estimates.

5) It is mated to a 10" frame in the photo for size reference; but I don't currently have plans to make them as 10s

6) Motor weight is ~70 lbs... overall external size is almost identical to a Z v.3 motor.

That is about it for now... except for a quick photo of my Neo chunks :

These look a little rough as they were cut into shape; when we end up doing production we'll tool the exact size/shape we end up with so they'll look perfect.

Power Handling = a bunch, haha... I am still working up the coils with Precision & we'll do a bunch of testing on it when it gets here.

Certainly more power handling (thermally) than any of our 3" coil drivers.

The suspension & keeping it all together will be the trick; I am in the design process of some 4" coil spiders in 3 different sizes.
