99% chance that would lose SPL

MAGIC BOX :

Glad you like them !

5.25" depth 8.25" overall basket OD (no gasket) 7.25" cut-out diameter 6.25" magnet diameter

Coil winding is 33% longer than the E8 was : SA-8 Coil on the left and E8 on the right.

Freshly measured specs, should break in a bit (CMS should be 100 uM/N): FS: 41.6 Hz Qes: 0.513 Qms: 6.60 Qts: 0.476 Vas: 3.28 L BL: 17.14 Cms: 83.34 uM/N Mms: 175 g

This is what we had looked at on the pre-sale (ordering is not open yet). 1x SA-8 = $119 2x SA-8 = $109 each 4x or more SA-8 = $99 each Shipped in continental 48 states cost.

Yes, some still available.

I cannot "reserve" any for anyone -- first come first serve... I tried to keep a list on the first run of 3500s and just ended up pulling my hair out. The only way to reserve one would be to pay for it so I have it out of inventory and on your invoice in my computer.

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).

I will refrain from comparing NS v.2 to Z v.2 until I have testing in hand. I can say that the "stock" suspension configuration on the NS v.2 will be substantially stiffer than the Z v.2 -- but that can be changed as these are built to order if the customer does not want it so stiff.

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

Z v.2 motor production scheduled to finish up on Monday... so I may have them a little sooner than expected !

I will post when there is news. By my estimate... if you do NOT have a pre-order in by the time they get here you won't get one.

Glad they made it in one piece !

You should e-mail Derrick for prices on the Hoodies -- [email protected]

The Team is generally reserved for experienced SPL / SQ competitors.

This one yours ?

Just e-mail me about it to order one.

*laughs* I don't really stock many parts to make these... but I may start offering the Z v.2 in 10" a bit later on.

We have them.

Of course 1/2 ohm is not covered by free replacement warranty... but I have tested at 0.5 and 16v with no problem.

Derrick can custom make hoodies since I don't stock them.
