sundownz Posted January 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 29, 2013 wow 600-750 dang. if the sa-8's can handle 1000w rms all day, i wonder about this one It will be very strong thermally ; ahead of the current SA-10/12/15 woofers. We are doing our best mechanically as well ; we spent alot of time and energy on the spider and the surround is also a new tool just for this driver. 1 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...

The BL related x-max is very similar between the v1, v1.5, and v.2 -- but the v.2 is the only one to have a Klippel report done.

We anticipate 24-27mm linear by 70% BL on it pending Klippel testing.

ScoogeBumps Posted March 22, 2013 Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Wow Jacob looks awesome. First post to sundown! So I cant seem to see a big difference between this and the SA8 v.2. What are your intentions with this model versus the sa8? It seems like maybe more xmax, more motor force, slightly more thermal handling and efficiency? I have been browsing every 8" sub I can find, and the SA8 v.2 definitely wins over every other 8" on the market, for me at least(price, output, reputation). I want a single 8" setup either ported or Tline for the wow factor, so I would love to know if the x is intended to be superior to the SA in terms of output. Crush the 8W7, for cheaper, I know you can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundownz Posted March 22, 2013 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2013 Neither of our big 8s will be sealed friendly like the 8W7 -- in a ported box I'd put them up no problem. The X-8 is, as you said, a higher powered unit -- significantly larger coil, more motor power, and more x-max than the SA-8 v.2 -- the only part in common between the two drivers is the frame (which is our tooled frame).

Pioneerchuck Posted March 23, 2013 Report Share Posted March 23, 2013 Is there any word on a release date for these? Or an idea of when testing will be completed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
