    From Sundown...

    Since I released the pricing for the upcoming U series earlier today -- let's talk about it a bit more in one place.

    1) We anticipate performance pretty well on-par with the Z v.3 series for $120-140 less at MAP depending on size. This series is intended to both replace the Z v.3 & bridge the price gap from the SA to the X v.2 series.

    2) In terms of the magnet slug itself -- it's identical to the Z v.3 series. The top plate is not as thick nor is the back plate. This is a double stacked 220mm x 25mm magnet stack.

    3) We have included several new distortion reduction techniques & cooling enhancements in this motor vs the Z v.3 (after all the Z v.3 is 5 years old).

    4) It uses the SAME coil as the X v.2 series -- so thermally is every bit as capable & shares the same RMS rating of 1500-watts.

    5) In terms of sound & box requirements it will fall identically with the Z v.3 series. This means SMALL boxes and for 10s & 12s pretty exclusively ported -- 15s & 18s will be fine in a 4th order.

    6) In terms of stiffness it is SLIGHTLY less stiff than the Z v.3 in stock format. The spider for the 10/12" models is a new tooling -- the geometry & stiffness of the 15/18 spiders is shared with the X-10/12 respectively. Naturally custom re-cones will be available if yours needs to be re-built in the future.

    7) We will NOT be building these in-house (other than re-cones) since we are completely maxed out on production capacity with the other lines at this time. As with all of our other factory made lines each unit will still be QC checked by our staff in-house in the USA before going out to the customer.

    8) ETA is pending. I should physically have my prototypes soon to do testing. If I had to estimate release date now I'd say January 2017 or so. At this time I am not sure if ALL sizes will launch at one time -- worst case 12s & 15s will come first.

    I have completed the pricing for the U series -- it is as follows.

    U-10 : $369.99
    U-12 : $379.99
    U-15 : $399.99
    U-18 : $439.99

    That news story says it was his cell phone, but to me it looks like a zippo

    Yeah, it definitely has an open flame it's not a cell phone, he was going to try to set the seat on fire lol.

    ^^ this

    He pulled his hand through his hand cuff, unbuckled or whatever, grabbed the lighter from his crotch, was gonna set the seat on fire but officer accidently went onto the gravel, over corrected and rolled it. Like instant Karma

    thereis a longer clip of it all. I actually never heard of it being a cell phone, lmao

    My next vehicle I will definitely be using this instead of spending thousands on normal type deadener. I am a firm believer in Sound deadener as you can tell by my signature (lol?)

    would be nice to pour it in, roller it, and know it's covering no less than 100%. Much easier and faster then cutting, rollering, and hoping that 100% of what you are putting in is touching the surface on all the corners, angles, blah blah. This is a great direction for sound deadener to head. SS FTW!!!!!
