sundownz Posted November 3, 2012 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I did get a little too happy with it last night when I first fired it up -- you'll hear a small metallic sound because of some slight damage I did to it then (woops!). Either way I was still able to get a good test out of it for this video and show it in action -- with more testing to come as we get more prototypes together. The good news is I'll be able to make it even tougher on production thanks to my mistake =) 3 Quote - Jacob Fuller - Owner, Sundown Audio - Sundown Audio on FACEBOOK - Please DO NOT PM ME -- use my email address -- [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 I woke up, put on some coffee, and say to myself, "i wonder if that video of the new sundowns is up yet". I log on to the forums and, bam! Awesome man. Looks great! Quote Rest in peace, walled 87 accord build log 03' Corolla build with AA Mayhem inside.

Either way I was still able to get a good test out of it for this video and show it in action -- with more testing to come as we get more prototypes together. The good news is I'll be able to make it even tougher on production thanks to my mistake =) I am kicking myself a bit for getting crazy last night with it, haha... what I did was push it hard enough to exit the coil completely from the gap by a large amount -- the 12" frame supports 50mm of one-way travel not counting frame thickness... 59mm with frame thickness... and 71mm with vent spacer thickness added -- minus 8mm for triple joint ring so we can go 63mm one-way before bottoming the ring... and we have 62.5mm in the motor... so I had it up around 60mm one-way (which is actually 5mm PAST surround linearity)... which makes the coil about 1/2" past the gap *laughs* So when it came back down it knicked the top plate and knocked loose 1/2 of one voice coil (the coil is an 8-layer bifilar which is wound as a quad; so you can knock out 1/2 of a coil by breaking one wire) and this wire is rubbing on the top plate now making that metallic sound (I can see the loose wire through the vent spacer -- WOOPS!!!). Either way I have some ideas to minimize that possibility; although, I must admit, I was being totally careless with it to do that! Needless to say it was pretty crazy and just me being too happy with my new toy Quote - Jacob Fuller - Owner, Sundown Audio - Sundown Audio on FACEBOOK - Please DO NOT PM ME -- use my email address -- [email protected] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Audio-Concepts Posted November 3, 2012 Report Share Posted November 3, 2012 Thank you for the in depth description on the noise! Everything looks great, love the 4" peak to peak. Now try not to kill it too soon. I still want your 12" surround for my sub....just sayin!
