Ya that's why I just ordered two D1 Zv3's 12"

nice build!! not to many women in the sport and i must say you are doing well!!

i only read the last bit lately of this thread and i agree the Z has a potential to get louder than the SA. more motor, higher rms rating. more power = louder if all other conditions are the same and woofer can handle it without reaching its limits.

Thanks, and yes exactly someone that knows a bit about facts and common sense.

Sweet Ill have to peep your build thread

Its in the signature, I've been working my ass off bc its the last month of summer!

<p>lol nevermind will post a vid myself of my buddies 2 12" z v3's on the meter verse 2 sa 12's  in the same box and show ya the difference on the meter...but you have alot of power and i would also run the zs daily. wasnt sayin stick with sa's by no means. just wanted to see what they would do on the meter for a burp vs the z's</p>

sorry for the confusion

well than can you explain what the comparison difference of a single 15 sa vs z v.3 and 2 12 sa vs 2 12 z v.3 because your not making any valid point other than you prefer the sa model if everyone could get louder with sa why would they make bigger lines? the z vs sa is not a match 19mm xmax on the sa doesnt come close to the z v.3 and the z has alot more motor force. the test i posted above is valid proof the z can be louder than the sa.

So then with this said why not just go with a pair of Nightshade 12's then? They are no doubt going to have the potential to be much louder than the Z's, not to mention that you have the power to make them do so.

I think with your application that 2 high end woofers are going to be louder than 2 middle of the road ones, but if you were going to be running more subs and the same amount of power then going with the middle of the road sub is going to be the better choice for higher spl.

So it's settled then, Nightshades for you

the nightshade is not going to have much more potential than the Z's. At the max/high end they nightshades have .5db gain thats it.

From what ive been told the z v.3 is a better woofer all around than the ns v.1 and v.2 now the ns v.3 should be a different story but they wont be coming in 12s

[Bump4life]

the nightshade does have a higher potential, but its all relative. it will only be louder, maybe, if you put more power to it. other wise it wont be able to reach its optimum excursion for output. so the reason to upgrade is to run more power.

If i end up getting another NS-1 ill be going to 2 15 Ns v.3
