Family Photo : I may tool new surrounds for the 10, 12, and 15 -- currently the roll is equal to the SA series. Some torture testing is in order

Any small 800-watt Class-D would do a fine job of powering four of these. Our SAX-1200D would be a bit over-kill but could do it if turned down accordingly.

Don't worry - I already addressed it for production Was supposed to be a 15mm bump-out in the back plate that wasn't there on prototypes -- will be on production.

My prototypes are here and they are fantastic... the 18" has an incredible amount of throw... I actually bottomed it out free air. Fortunately I have modifications for production that provide 15mm more mechanical clearance rearward =) I may tool new surrounds for them before production as well -- but that is pending more testing... as these surrounds are actually already pretty darn good.

They sound good on regular music -- I don't think a video would be so exciting as my camera mic isn't great.

Great work !

Another benefit on the Z v.3 is that all Nightshade coils fit this motor -- NS v.1, NS v.2, and NS v.2 SPL

Yes, they will use the same boxes as the Z v.2 models.

Currently estimating about 10% less cost based on some rough figures this morning -- but I am using estimated figures for the packing materials, SH charges for the coil, and import fees. If these items fall under estimates could be as much as 12-15% less in the end. It also will drastically speed up lead time on the Z series... as we won't have to schedule the build time -- we just test and ship them out.

We will see once I finalize everything and calculate shipping, packing, etc. I use a simple formula based on my cost to reach the final price of a product.

The 14.4v thing is just standard print from the factory... have meant to change it but always forget to do so as other things are more important

Yep - typically an SAZ remote is $12.50 shipped in the USA

Leaving from work early today to attend MECA Finals -- I won't be on the forums this weekend and emails will be limited. I'll be back to work on Monday.

Up to the top Great deals here!

Great score How much port area are you running ?

Well... I put in a temp setup for nSPL finals and haven't taken it out yet + my Jeep has a belt problem so it's sitting at my parents house until we fix it. Couldn't make it all the way back to the shop with it.

Team Sundown has a no-wall with 24x 12s in the 157s at 35 Hz already Hank has to be original!

If you pay attention to the limits like we are -- probably never within reason. We have 100 or so burps on it already.

You will still hit mechanical limits before thermal on the SA-8 with copper or aluminum coil. I have yet to see one burn a coil except one customer who wired theirs out of phase.

Driver side kick panel -- 152.1 dB -- we had done 152.2 earlier but didn't get it on video... have a photo of the score that I will upload later :

This was done in Sean's CRX and was designed for an organization that meters in the kick panel. With a box re-tune to his dash note of 64 Hz I am confident we could still break a 150 on the dash -- but that isn't the goal for this setup as it was designed for a particular reason and class. I'm not going to go through the "it's a CRX" or "it's outlaw" or "it's not 30 Hz" arguments in this thread... constructive comments welcome. If you simply want to hate on something then don't read this thread.

I understand that there are people that really don't care about SPL, that is totally fine! That also doesn't mean you need to dump on SPL. I like to drive cars... but I don't drag race -- but I don't call drag racers stupid and pointless. This type of thing fuels product development... the need for an 8" driver that could hold up to this type of thing is WHY I made the SA-8. I have pages and pages of data from the last two days of testing that I will be using to keep making the SA-8 better for everyone -- whether they do SPL burps or not. If you don't like this discussion then stop reading it. I will delete any further silly comments.

A stock re-cone is $30 -- they are $50 with an 8-layer aluminum. They are ONLY available on re-cones.

Sure is lucky we didn't ask you Seriously, though, someone ALWAYS has to be "that guy" in every SPL thread... It's for a specific SPL competition organization... actually the results we are getting a very useful in product development as well.
