Yes he can.

Just have him email me

When the E8 v.2 pre-order starts that will be an update on the re-cones as parts will come in with them

They are 50 + SH with aluminum coils.

Before anyone gets too excited these may not get made -- just sharing some of the things I'm working on =) The other "mini" Neo motors should be here soon too.

Lance, Yah - something like that will happen, haha. I am working on an even stronger surround too that will start appearing later in the year -- for really high abuse applications. Of course that won't stop people from eventually putting enough power into them to jump the gap as it appears yours did

Now that is impressive *laughs*

Most people don't realize how strong the SA-8 motor is -- it can drive itself fully in a TINY box. It's 50-100% stronger than other large 8s on the market.

Going to do some more work on this as it is then have another one made with more magnet slugs on it.

Sample is here -- needs more work before testing is to begin -- but here are some pictures next to an SA-8 : I may have to make the motor a LITTLE smaller too -- it's a huge battle to mount it with speaker wires *laughs*

List updated this morning.

You can buy them - right now I only have D4 aluminum coils. Demand is really low so I haven't bought any more D2s.

I am going to revise my suggestions a bit... honestly 0.5 - 0.7 should be used for pretty much ANY power level. Based on more real world testing with customers -- a heavily abused SA-8 can be mechanically damaged in the larger boxes even on lower power.

Cosmetic.

Finally got time to post them up... been so busy haven't had a chance to really push the used amps for months so they stacked up !

I don't want to update multiple threads so list posted in one spot on SSA : http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/topic/10634-used-b-stock-refurbished-amps-and-misc/

The new one has internal fins under the top -- the old one does not. We also started printing the part # in both corners on the newer case and it is in one corner on the old.

Okay guys... ran through a TON this morning and I have less than 10 not replied to. So almost everyone should be taken care of. I am delegating some emails to Brandon for responses so don't be shocked if you hear back from him and not me Thanks for your patience everyone!

Funny thing... coils aren't totally destroyed, just really black. Did not completely unwind yet. The one on the right started to come unwound a little at the top -- both coils still read but read lower than they should (shorted windings). The one on the left still reads normally on both coils ! The former got so hot it bubbled out - this is why they locked up at the end of the video. We hadn't quite reached total coil melt-down yet - but we had exceeded what the former will handle !

Shoot me or Brandon ([email protected]) an email. Much more effective than calling PS: His inbox isn't as full as mine!

We got bored a few minutes after close and decided we were going to smoke a pair of mechanically damaged SA-8s -- well it turned out to be harder than we suspected to thermal these little guys... even the 2" coil SA-8 was able to out-last the Type-R 12" that we tested - I am pretty satisfied with that. Video comment : "Comes online at 69v/9.5A=655 watts so 325 each... crank it up a bit and land at 81.5v/10.5A=855 watts so ~427 each. All the way down at 3 minutes we are still at 82.6v/9.16A=756 watts... we keep playing nice until 5 full minutes elapsed at right around rated power levels then crank it up all the way to 115v/12.5A=1437 watts or 718 each !!! Then continued to play for ANOTHER 2 minutes or so at this power level before smoking the coil." Not too shabby for subs rated 400 RMS each... especially keeping in mind that at 60 Hz there is very little excursion so coil cooling is nowhere near optimal. On music with higher excursion the coils will cool even better. So remember... SA-8s are MECHANICALLY limited... chances are you will not smell them or hurt the coil, ever. So don't do the "smell test" to see if you have too much power -- watch the level of excursion and listen for mechanical distortion! Pardon the opening remarks *laughs* Brandon didn't let me finish introducing the video.

Was caught up for a short time but they are backing up again - have been pulled away to build alot of subs recently... Nightshade v.2 orders are coming in quick. In any event - be patient if you have emailed me and I'll get back to you as soon as I can.

One NS v.1 and two Z v.2

~2.6" actually -- bigger diameter than the SA-12 slightly.
