  1. Hey guys,


    This is a Dual ZVX-12 Installation in a Lexus that was recently done by one of our in house installers for Ryan W, who is our shipping and Customer Service Rep here at the HQ...


    It was only right we got him into a system, so after some deciding he opted for a Dual 12 Daily Trunk Setup in which we used the ZVX-12 Subwoofers (1500 Watts RMS). The 2 12's are being powered by a Skar Audio SK-2500.1D which is fittingly a perfect match.


    Not all pictures below constitute the work that has been done for this system, such as electrical and so forth which was already in the vehicle, but our installer did document the new box build. I do have to say, I was personally very happy with how the blow-through sounded in this vehicle with the dual ZVX-12's through the rear arm-rest.


    We are going to make panels and add an SK-85.4AB at which time we will update this build log. Just a heads up for anyone wondering why the amplifier was left lying so plainly behind the enclosure ;)


    Enjoy the pictures below...

    -Kevin


    (P.S.) - Sorry for the low quality pictures, I should have made a point of him using the actual Camera we have instead of his outdated camera phone :P

  2. As many of you have probably seen, we have been working on the VVX-v3 for quite some time now and production is about to finally wrap up..with that being said, we are going to open Pre-Orders for a limited time at a reduced price for those of who you would like to order in advance.


    ETA : We are expecting them to arrive around February 28th and start shipping to customers within a few days from that time.


    Pre-Order Start Date : January 16th, 2013 (45 Days Prior to Arrival)

    Pre-Order Price : $120.00 Ea (Shipped)


    To Order : Please PayPal $120 x (The Amount of Woofers You Would like) to [email protected] and leave a note as to which coil configuration you would like (D2/D4). OR - <<< CLICK HERE TO PRE-ORDER ON OUR WEBSITE >>>


    Normal MAP Price : $159.99 (Normal Price Upon Product Arrival)


    New Product Information


    Model : VVX-8v3 8" Subwoofer


    Coil Configuration Availability : Dual 2 Ohm / Dual 4 Ohm

    RMS Power Rating : 500 Watts

    Voice Coil : 2" Pure Copper

    Magnet Information : Triple Stack Ferrite Magnet (156mm*80mm*20mm)


    You will notice the new v3 utilizes a slightly larger more powerful motor as well as a more advanced T-YOLK design, which also adds to the cosmetic appearance of this woofer as well =).. The foam surround has also been redesigned and is now stronger and slightly larger.


    This woofer was designed to be tiny, but pack a serious amount bass. The VVX-8v3 specifically is a also a great low end response monster for it's size, as were previous versions of the VVX-8.

  4. These are due to finish production within the next 10-12 days which will put them here roughly around the end of February. Glad to finally have a solid arrival date so we can go ahead and get this Pre-Order started for you guys!

    Also got a few production photo's as I've only posted pictures of the finished woofer in the OP. Below are the voice coils used in the woofer as well as the finished motor/magnet boot.

  5. We have decided going into the new year that we are going to discontinue making the T-Series 5 Channel Amplifiers as it seems the demand for 5 Channel Amplifiers is not as high as we originally anticipated. By taking away the 5 channels from our line up we will be able to better serve other areas in higher demand such as some of the new woofers we are developing..


    The T-Series 5 Channels are the only amplifiers being blown out and discontinued, we will continue to manufacturer the mono block models. The 2 5-CH models that we are blowing out are very high quality and strong amplifiers, a steal at the price they are going for now.


    The 2 Models on blowout are the T-60.4-200.1AB and T-60.4-500.1D. Once these are gone they are gone. All sales will include a warranty as typical, but sales are final. The pricing is VERY attractive, so take advantage of it before the amplifiers are gone!


    Pricing


    T-60.4-200.1AB = BLOWOUT Price = $189.99 (Normal MAP = $329.99)

    T-60.4AB-500.1A = BLOWOUT Price = $219.99 (Normal MAP = $399.99)


    TO ORDER - Visit the link below to buy directly from our website or go to Skar Audio - Where Audiophiles Meet Excellence and visit the T-Series Amplifier Page. You can order directly from our website during this blowout. SHIPPING IS FREE WITH PURCHASE in the lower 48 States, and will be calculated automatically during checkout if you are outside of the USA.

    Happy New Years! Take advantage of this sale before they run out!

  6. After much demand we have finally gotten around to putting the Skar Audio SK-2500.1D on our test bench and the Dyno Results are in...


    We used (4) Shuriken 16V Batteries for testing and this was a non-charging load. The purpose of using the 16V batteries is so that after the heavy draw from the amplifier during the testing, we get real power ratings at that 14.4v~ load as you will see in this video.


    The SK-2500.1D proved to stand up to its ratings and then some =)


    For more information on the SK-2500.1D, please visit Skar Audio - Where Audiophiles Meet Excellence


    Amplifier : Skar Audio SK-2500.1D

    Dyno : SMD AD-1 Amp Dyno


    Results


    Certified @ 1 Ohm : 2,793 Watts @ 14.35v

    Certified @ 0.5 Ohm : 3,393 Watts @ 13.61v

  7. We had the pleasure of having one of our dealers and team members join us at the Skar Audio HQ on Friday for some live TermLab Testing in the warehouse. Brandon and Alex are active in the competition scene and have a really great passion for car stereo, and we are lucky to have them representing Skar Audio =).


    This build is EXTREMELY Loud and was at one point running different woofers and amplifiers than it is now with the Skar Audio. I believe at one point there were (4) Tantric Audio 15's and I pushed them into moving with (4) of the Skar Audio ZVX-15 15" Woofers. The results have been great so far, with them being powered by (2) Skar Audio SK-4500.1D's this vehicle has metered higher than it ever has with a 157.3dB Score!


    Here are pictures of his vehicle while we had it with us the other day...We have a lot of great video footage as well, which we will post once we finished editing all of it.


    Team Vehicle : 2001 Monte Carlo


    Equipment


    Amplifiers : (2) Skar Audio SK-4500.1D Monoblocks

  8. I think that's enough, thanks for reply my question =).

    wait, there's something I would like to know about monoblocks amps.

    I'm between 2, the first one is the NVX JAD1200.1 (http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_40252_NVX-JAD1200.1.html) because I already have a JAD800.4 and it's very small, I could put both amps under the passenger seat (have my jad800.4 in there and another of the same size will fit perfect)

    and the other amp is the Skar Audio LP-1000.1D (http://www.sonicelectronix.com/item_71674_SKAR-Audio-LP-1000.1D.html) which I would install at the top of my enclosure.

    I need an amp for the VVX15 I orderer at sonic, will wire @ 1 ohm with a ported enclosure.

    Thanks again! (BTW I'll have a guy here in Chile to repair the IVX at least for sell it)

    Here's a picture of my actual amp (running infinity kappa 60.9cs front, bridged for the sub at the back)

    IMAG0555_zpsfff50c17.jpg

    I'd suggest the Sk1500 in that case. The VVX series is underrated at 600watts rms. Good electrical and a clean signal I've seen double the power daily. Do a proper break in before going hard on it and set the gains correctly. The 1500 has about the same footprint as the 85.4.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but isn't that too much power for 1 vvx? it says it gives 1680wrms @ 1 ohm

    another factor is that the nvx amp cost normally 239 (now it's 199) while the sk-1500.1D cost 449 :shrug:

    I'm still between the nvx and LP1000 because of the price.

    Thanks again =)

    I can't speak for the NVX, but if you ever have an issue with the LP-1000.1D (which seem to be rare based on our warranty claim rate on them) I will be here to take care of you =) The LP-1000.1D is a very strong amplifier and our customers seem to be very pleased with them!

  9. Got an awesome discount buying a vvx15 @ sonic =)

    Kevin please, I've a IVX15v2 dual 2 and I need a recone kit for it, I sent you an email but you've not responded it yet.

    the real issue here is that I live in Chile and it takes like 2-3 weeks to get the stuffs over here.

    I already bought the vvx15 but it would be nice to get the recone for the ivx so I can sell it.

    Please Kevin, help me out with this.

    Thanks!!! (Skar audio rocks, planning on getting more skar stuff for my Azera)

    Hi tonio,

    Not sure what happened to the email but I just looked and wasn't able to locate it.

    Unfortunately we do not sell recone kits for the IVX models due to the price of the woofer. Generally speaking most customers replace them should there be an issue due to the effort involved in reconing them and the cost, etc.

    Please let me know if there is anything else I can do for you.

    -Kevin
