sundownz Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 1) What does this compare to? I'd say it would compare well to the Tang-Band 8" but with more low-end output, especially sealed. It also has better thermal power handling due to having basket windows and a directly vented gap. With Sean's help we did burps on it with 800 watts and he still runs the proto daily with around 400-watts in a tiny bandpass box. 2) How high do they extend? They will pretty easily reach 100 - 200 Hz, perhaps as high as 500 Hz inductance-wise but there are probably dust-cap breakups around that area. 3) So what is the final depth? 4.25" 4) How much power do they REALLY handle? 200-watts is very conservative. This is a 4-layer copper winding coil with an aluminum former -- the motor has a pole vent and direct gap vents, combined with spider plateau vents on the basket. Needless to say it has some real thermal potential. In all but the smallest box requirements 200-watts will suffice to sound good, but I would suggest having a 300-400 watt amp "on tap" for the smallest recommended sizes. They are more mechanically limited than anything. Linear x-max by magnetics is 12mm one-way, 20mm before bottoming out, and the spider/surround limit the driver to around 16-18mm one-way raw throw. --- The production model will have a black basket. --- Final T/S are TBA -- the recommended enclosures are as follows: Sealed Box Specs: 0.185 ft^3 - 0.250 ft^3 F3 = ~55 Hz Ported Box Specs: 0.50 ft^3 - 0.75 ft^3 Tuning = 30 - 35 Hz --- Pre-Sale price will be $65 shipped in the continental 48 states once ordering is opened up. Production is nearly complete, ordering will open when a solid ETA is available.

connersdad19 Posted April 7, 2008 Report Share Posted April 7, 2008 will the dustcap be plain? or are there ideas on that? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sundownz Posted April 8, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 8, 2008 will the dustcap be plain? or are there ideas on that? It will say "Sundown Audio" on the cap. The pics are just a proto and they usually don't get printed logos 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...

sundownz Posted April 29, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 I opened up pre-ordered for those that want to pre-order. Direct ordering will remain open for a few weeks after they come in so you can wait and order them then if you like. Just thought I'd open it for those that had money burning a hole in their pocket http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...showtopic=17005 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...
