gckless Posted December 23, 2014 Author Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Listen, neo is cool, but linearity is cooler. Updates? Quote "Clipping" is the biggest forum boner now. It's like witchcraft... it automatically explains just about everything people don't understand.

sundownz Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Still working on it -- there is quite a bit of time before release. Still testing different coils... waiting on different spiders... and may modify the motor still.

Souldrop Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 Neo and linearity in the same package is really cool. Been wanting to try an old XXX or an adire extreme, so if these new subs fill that niche I'll be all over them. Shame these Sundown XBL^2 protos never went into production, but looking forward to the new linear BL sub. . 2 Quote 1997 Lexus ES300 HU - Pioneer MVH 7350 Processor - Helix DSP Front Stage - JBL P660C Mid/high amp - Alpine PDX-F4 Subs - 1 IA Death Penalty 12 Sub Amp - Cactus Sounds PF300.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Souldrop Posted December 24, 2014 Report Share Posted December 24, 2014 Running two Brahma MKI 12"s with Fi recones now. I don't notice much of a drop off; granted they are sealed with about 1.2 cube each. Haven't measured anything so there might be a dropoff that I don't detect.

sundownz Posted December 26, 2014 Report Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) It is my opinion that most folks who believe they lacked top-end ran them ported. I owned & ran a Brahma 15" in a sealed enclosure in my vehicle for some time and had no such observation of the top-end. I even did a test pairing it with a tweeter and a passive crossover and mid-range was also fairly impressive considering it was a sub-woofer. ---------- It's the same reason people think our X, Z v.4, etc lack top-end... the lack of parameter shift over stroke : http://www.diysubwoofers.org/misc/dumax/details/adire_audio_brahma_12.pdf KMS vs. X is very similar to our new platform drivers except it is not over as wide of a stroke range (naturally... as they used an 8" spider and a standard frame) -- but in it's range it is MEGA flat. BL vs. X is ALSO very linear thanks to XBL technology -- this further reduces QTS shift over stroke -- even beyond our stuff. ---------- Now go check my article about the new platform sound : http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/187407-sundown-x-and-z-v4-sound-difference-visualized/ Edited December 26, 2014 by sundownz 2 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...
Souldrop Posted December 29, 2014 Report Share Posted December 29, 2014 Yeah, I've been wanting to try your new platform drivers at some point. The new basket design is awesome!
