sundownz Posted October 24, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2009 I will be doing direct SPL to watt comparisons of the Z v.2 to a typical "stock" Nightshade shipped to a customer once production models are in. I was previously using a Nightshade with a slightly softer suspension and lighter cone that gained me several tenths over stock for SPL competition (I offered these things to anyone that asked, FYI). The prototype Z v.2 has already matched the output of my "modified" Nightshade... and production Z v.2 should gain a good bit from the prototype 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 October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 Here is just a little bit of data from testing the initial Z 15" v.2 prototype motor (which lacks several improvements of the production model):148.4 -- 1250 watts 150.1 -- 2020 watts 150.8 -- 2530 watts 152.5 -- 3980 watts 153.1 -- 5350 watts 153.2 -- 5570 watts This prototype has a gap that is a full 1.6mm wider than production... this means this motor is "weaker" than what production will be. The above earlier testing was done with a prototype Z v.2 motor with 2 Hard / 1 Soft of our current Nightshade spiders. --- New testing done with two of the "new" spiders w/ double tinsel leads (much softer) also on prototype motor -- pending a bit more testing this will most likely be the "standard" suspension on production models : Same box... "magic box" in the Jeep. HU Setting / Power / SPL -6 / 540 watts / 146.0 dB -5 / 680 watts / 146.9 dB -4 / 860 watts / 147.7 dB -3 / 1090 watts / 148.6 dB -2 / 1380 watts / 149.5 dB -1 / 1730 watts / 150.3 dB 0 / 2230 watts / 151.2 dB +1 / 2780 watts / 151.9 dB +2 / 3480 watts / 152.8 dB +3 / 4800 watts / 153.5 dB Notice that large gain in SPL per watt... also, notice that with "rated power" I am right around 150 dB I am still waiting on production coil samples... I will do another round of testing of SPL per watt at that time. I also expect gains on production motors vs. prototype as stated before -- as the production has a tighter gap (more BL).
