Sundown X-8 Work in Progress
VOPA replied to sundownz's topic in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!
I have contemplated 16 8's on my tahoe... just really loses out to 6 15's in cone area... -
All you have to do is apply a higher than accepted voltage. That wall socket idea may be a bit overkill, but as long as I am not the one hooking it up, I am game. I would love to see a video or view from a safe distance

You could always gain match them and wire them separately -

Level 5 Neo vs Level 6?
VOPA replied to Chode69's topic in DC Sound Lab - Big Bass on ANOTHER LEVEL!
I am going to say no, nO, and NO. The coils heat up almost instantly when large power is applied. The radiated heat from the coil heats the motor. Review: Coils first and then Motor. Now, the next fact is that most high quality coils that we find in our favorite high end subs can handle more heat than a neo magnet. Why is that coil going to go out first? The heat exchnage going on inside the motor is obviosuly a more more complex reaction that has many more variables involved. A motor holds residual heat much much longer, but also takes longer to heat up. (the reasons which makes daily applications tricky) I would like to see a battery of tests with thermal imaging equipment while serving up different drivers, enclosures, power levels, tones, and musical samples. -
Mybe you guys should look into Sundown, if Jacob's plans come out, that 3" Coil will be 100% reality.

Prototype Z v.3 Testing
VOPA replied to sundownz's topic in Sundown Audio - GREAT Amps/Subs! GREAT Customer Service!
So these are going to be more affordable. What percentage cheaper could we expect? 20-30%? -
In most cases, electrically, 22awg is fine for a remote wire, but its physical strength is lacking due to the abuse during installation and the auto environment in general. I know a competitor who is leading in his class that ran a 50amp toggle switch and an 8awg remote becuase he swore it made a difference... I told him he had confounding variables and he thought I was referring to his alleged STD and became a little flustered. This is part of the reason I don't compete....

AA Havov Vs. Sundown Z v.2
VOPA replied to VOPA's topic in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.
Ok, I guess, to me, larger means more powerfull as in lower Qts and smaller box.... -
AA Havov Vs. Sundown Z v.2
VOPA replied to VOPA's topic in General Audio - Can't find a category for your question? Ask here.
What exactly are you saying? I dont have a problem buying both and doing my own comparo if that is what it takes, but I prefer not to. The are no specs, pictures, or spl results that would indicate which sub i would like better. I was looking more for real world testimony. I was bored and havent seen much talk of either these... if nothing else, I thought I could at least get a bunch of fans talking up what they have and use. Yes, I am certain that the "larger motor" on the Z will allow it to be optimized in a smaller box than the havoc. I am wrong? Is that what you are saying? -
AA Havov Vs. Sundown Z v.2

Both subs are referred to as SQL subs.... This coming from the manufacturers. I have heard the Havocs numerous times and I like them, but I have had little experience with any sundown subs. I know how to use power. I can't tell you the last time I burnt a sub. -
I will be using a saz3500 per pair. Going with the 15's. I have my own opinions based on the specs, but i want some more opinions from the vast pool of knowledge on the forums. The Havocs are certainly cheaper, but I dont mind too much. I bet the Z's are better for spl, but the havocs play deep effortlessly. The more powerfull motor allows the Z to work in a smaller box. The havocs cone is dead sexy, but the Z motor dominates the stock looking motor on the Havoc.

Yeah, uderstand the cheaper point of view. As long as it works. BTW, all Audiopipe wire that I have ever seen has been CCA...
