Do you guys sell direct?

[aaronsmith02]

I am looking at getting the Sundown Audio SA-8v.2, and was wondering if you sell direct? Also, how would you say it measures up to the DD 2508-D4?

i would send jacob or one of the others an email directly and ask them that question

as far as the comapring to the DD there are too many variables to compare them the best i can say is that their rated power is fairly close. SA i think is 600w DD 2500 series is i thinks rated at 800

(also be careful about asking questions like that on here "vs." threads are not allowed)

Typically we will refer anyone to a local dealer; if you do not have one in your area we have online dealers.

Based on 3rd part measured objective Klippel data -- the CMS and Le linearity are inferior, it has less maximum x-mech capacity, and it costs more. BL performance is similar. Some people may *like* the way it sounds more -- I am referring only to objectively measurable causes of distortion.

I also had Klippel based thermal data collected on both -- despite the difference in coil size the thermal performance is nearly identical in terms of delta T (change in temperature) compared to input power over time in a 25 minute test. Klippel uses full bandwidth frequency input.

On my in-house 60 Hz thermal test the SA-8 v.2 out-performs many other 2.5" coil drivers -- but I have not ran the 2508 on that yet as I don't particularly want to blow a $300+ 8" woofer as the ones I have are SuperCharged.

For a visual comparison :
