Sundown Audio

Recommended Posts

The current model Nightshade is officially discontinued. We used the last brand new motor in stock today.

This is how the Sundown Audio line will look soon :

Z series v.2 = 1500-watt RMS model

* ETA is 6-8 weeks

Nightshade v.2 = 2000-watt RMS model

* ETA is mid 2010 (maybe sooner)

Both of these new drivers will feature several new technological advancements compared to the Nightshade v.1 to improve power handling and output per watt (efficiency).

We will also be offering a spider option with double up tinsel leads for folks that like to run amps at 1/2 ohm daily.

I won't release a whole bunch of details just yet. I will let the testing speak for itself when they are available.

-----

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.

I was calling this the "NS-X" For a little while... we went with a lighter coil to "take it down" to our 1500-watt driver. Make no mistake, though, it will take power well :)

Before all of the "looks like" posts pop up -- it is not based on any other motors. I think the top plate is almost 3x the thickness of the BL.

The enclosure requirements will be pretty much the same on the Z v.2 and NS v.2 as the NS v.1 -- depends on the spider package you want.

I noticed the top plate is much thicker I was just talking about OD....thats all.....not doubt they are much beefier than the BL. Edited by wL<3bass
