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.

Come see me in Vegas CES 2015. I wanna get a demo of your sound system! Might even put you on my Youtube channel! Meet Psyph Morrison too! If you can make it....See ya there!

Take it to someone that knows what they are doing and get help.

I called dibs on that for the isF and the hoe already so get in line!

better than me just bringing ME. haha. I thought about driving but hmmm 1.5 hours in a plane while i watch 2 episodes of First 48 on my ipad........or 11 grueling hours each way and then babysitting my ride for 3 days and NOT driving it because i want to drink. Southwest Airlines you say? yessir!

I might make the basshead meet. 99.9% chance you will find me inside at the bar

They are cheaper per watt -- as each one gains ~15% power and none of them cost 15% more. Savings is 2-10% per wattage depending on the model.

Setting my Ipod to all Psyph tracks for Demo's

I'm getting ready to ask the community for a Zeus VII or VIII to test. Would also like a Ulysses to compare with the 25x2 high current amps I've been testing.

The SAZ-5000D & the 6000D cost almost exactly the same amount -- the 6000D produces quite a bit more power on 12v than the 5000D. They aren't just a re-label ; things have been re-worked on the boards. It's hard to tell in the photos -- but alot of that is in the transformer windings; you will notice they are not identical from amp to amp in the photos above (since they are actual photos of each model). In this specific case (6000D) I was able to get some cost concessions from the factory so this model changed very little in price. For instance... the SCV-6000D is now several tenths louder than an NS-1 v.2 on a 12v system. So it's actually an even better performer on 12v than our largest model now. For a given board layout they are a bit more expensive than in the past ; but per actual wattage on 12v they are cheaper. I haven't released the actual Dyno figures on the old SAZ line since they are discontinued (you cannot compare old clamp tests to the Dyno) -- but the SCV line are all significantly more powerful on a 12v system than the counterpart SAZ boards. Typically around 15% more powerful at normal voltages; with an even larger difference in more extreme voltage drop situations (e.g. most real cars that don't hold 13+ volts). Given an oppurtunity I may do a complete round-up down the line as a reference... will have to round up some older models as we've sold them all out for the most part.

This is looking like a $3k driver...

We have sold out of the entire first shipment of SCV amps so I'm surprised there aren't more posts yet, haha. In other news... we have been testing with the SCV-6000D and it's a few tenths louder than an NS-1 on a 12v system It doesn't like loads under 0.5 ohm as much for SPL competition; but on a 12v system for a daily customer that makes it an awesome value.

DD has been doing this for how long? But now it has a Sundown badge and people are losing their minds. Lol. NUTHUGGERS!!!!

Well, tell him to get that shit over here.... i no do caco, or ssa. Fucking threads get outtta fucking hand over there....... imho
