Justin wants to get into the 170s at least with it, should be fun stuff!

Indeed, thats the last thing I want to happen! On that note, I have a cut apart E8 prototype (there is a thread on these) and I am able to stand on the back of the former on it as well. I may get Justin to try it too. Granted, it's a little cone, but it's also an entry level driver

I have many customers that run them daily at 1/2 ohm without issues. One of the first Sundown customers ran his as such for over a year before selling them -- to my knowledge they are still in operation with a new owner ("hoss" on the forums). He had a 200 amp alternator and two large batteries to support the pair at 1/2 ohm each, he also had a properly set gain to avoid clipping the amps. I am not endorsing it as I no longer warranty that usage and I will not endorse it if I do not support it.

Prices dropped on all items listed currently! One-of-a-kind speakers for sale here. The X12 will provide exceptional SQ and output sealed (if nobody buys it soon I might use it). The Konaki hybrid will provide a good response sealed OR ported. The TC-9 based sub would make a good burp sub tuned relatively high. It would also do well in a moderately high tuned vented enclosure (like Digital Designs spec ported) for daily beating. You can re-cone this with just about any parts you want... if you buy a re-cone elsewhere be sure to mention the extra spacers added so the re-cone will have the voice coil aligned properly. I can acquire re-cone parts for any of these drivers in the future, so you won't be stuck with a paper weight if anything happens!

It's low I'm sure Nick will post full specs soon.

Hey, welcome aboard

Welcome to the forum

they should be.i reconed last month and i told scott at fi exactly what i needed. how can i check the coils? Your DMM should be sufficient. Simply read the resistance (impedance). Make sure the woofer is not hooked to the amp and is not moving while measuring. Each coil should read very close to one another.

Good to hear that. IMO, Nick has created one of the best sounding subs I've heard to date with the new Mag. If SQ is what you want, you've got it and it'll be worth the wait.

I think you will be very pleased with the 1500Ds and 100.4 when combined with the CDT comp set and, of course, the new Mags when they are available

I need to hear that Mag again. What we need to do is at least hook an SAE-1000D to it!

Yep, an incredibly strong one.

That wiring looks fine to me. Are you sure both woofers are D2 coils? Are both coils reading okay on both subs?

With two it gained around 2 dB Of course, we lost a BM... and we aren't sure when it happened. So it may have more in it still.

I'll get Justin to put on my 50 lb weight vest and try it again That'll be 400 pounds!

Welcome to the forum!

I love dead lifts I'm out of shape at the moment... so I can only do a few reps at 405 these days. Back when I worked out consistently it was 500+ for reps. Totally agree, the dead lift is the most useful exercise there is for practical strength.

Sealed is more than enough to play down to 80 Hz.

I think it'll be very impressive with more power and more SPL oriented drivers. Stay tuned!

Maybe the "smacking" sound of voice coil mis-alignment added dBs? *laughs*

*laughs* Justin thought he would break the cone, I said I didn't think so! I guess I was right this time

We'll work on that

Ouch!

*laughs* You nailed it, that is when this part of the building was constructed.

PS: I stood on a Konaki cone in the same manner (surround cut off, on the VC former) and it folded instantly. I'm about 175 pounds
