But when are you gonna get loud Steve ?

Have some more catch-up to do on shipping but after that I'll start on the enclosure shell.

Yah, I probably could re-cone those.

The car came to me exactly as it sits minus the battery - so no, I didn't put the fart cannon on it.

Wall socket won't do that - I've tried it numerous times, haha. We don't really know for sure... but it happened in a car hooked to an amp.

Yes... "Blownest" may not be a word... but I think it needs to be after seeing this woofer. I do not know who this belonged to exactly but Nick @ SI is re-coning it at my shop today so we thoroughly documented the carnage. Just had to share. * Thats not so bad, right ? * Well... that isn't normal. * Back of the surround should be gray. * Melted material and discoloration on the pole. * Wow. * Kapton wrap of the former is melted and puddled up on top of the triple joint. * That used to be a plastic former cap from under the dust cap. * The solder actually re-melted... * Some of the solder formerly from the connection point * That should be black. * Insider of spider was burnt out. * Motor has been "anodized" with the burnt material. --- There are some more photos in the directory that I didn't link directly : http://www.sundownaudio.com/misc/SI_Mag_ASPLODE/

Haha, indeed... will get something nicer later but that was on it and works for now.

If at all possible to contact us ANY other way do not call... the phone pretty well rings all day long and we cannot possibly answer it all day or nobody would get their products. Try emailing me, brandon, or a rep before calling... do not call unless you MUST do so.

I answered 99% of all my emails this morning... if you still have not heard from me and your email is older than a day or two that means your message was lost in transit so please re-send.

Okay guys - called shipping company yesterday. The shipment is being sent into "inspection" as it was randomly selected... they arrived for inspection yesterday evening. Hopefully it doesn't take more than a day or two then they can send them on to me and I can start shipping! Almost here, so please remain patient Thanks!

My Yellow rex has stock... this one has a brand new alt but I'm not sure if it's HO or not. For Street class the car is off, though.

I am going to work with four 8s and see what I can do (see Neo 8 thread).

This one was already modified for it -- it involves alot of smashing metal with a hammer

Some may recognize it * 8 runs of + and 8 runs of - wire... getting new custom copper blocks made for the battery (XS Power D3100). Street-B is the goal for this car. Should be fun ! Something I've never tried.

They are due soon... they were delayed a few times in production but I expect them any time now.

Oh yah... the 12-layer coil was drawn out and WILL fit this gap... so I will be testing it both ways (8-layer copper vs. 12-layer aluminum).

ALOT lighter.

Some cone renderings : I'm not going to give away what is interesting about the cone -- I'm sure someone will spot it

So far there are still amps available

Yah, it will I'm pretty active in competing with the Jeep so I have to get it done *laughs*

Yah, primarily The motor can be used on other sizes, though.

Most likely four 4500s unless I have to sell them all... in which case four 3500s.

My old dual 15 box that I got up to 155.9 dB was made primarily with Aruco ply **... and a few other random boxes. Based on the research I've done I will keep using it since it is a better solution than the Cabinet Grade birch available at Lowes and cheaper. ** - Here is a pic of it... kerf and one baffle layer were MDF, the rest was Aruco : http://www.sundownaudio.com/misc/96_Jeep/Enclosure_2spkrs/CIMG0411.JPG

* Floor installed... checked with a level. * SAX-125.2 under this side (midbass) * SAX-50.4 under this side (midrange and tweeters) I will eventually build a cover for this lower area as that should help increase SPL.

I can't get 18s forward firing in the Jeep under the window line.
