Cool - looking forward to some reviews on it.

Nope.

Well -- the box with some of the re-cone parts arrived but the subs got separated. SO here are some photos @ the shop of some of the parts :thumbsup: * Progression of the baskets... to the left the original 12-spoke, then the 8-leg, and now the fully tooled Sundown frame! * Wider new spider on the left and older spider on the right (we have round lead spiders in stock for re-cones) * 10mm wider with an entire extra roll on the outside. * Doubled up / large round lead wires. * First step -- bottom spider with no leads. * Second step -- spacer ring in place and center glue joint support ring (there is another behind the rear spider as well) * Then the top spider on top of the spacer ring -- there will be a steel bolt-on ring on top of all of this in production. * Logo in the basket base inside, under the spiders * Visible external logo * New gasket vs. old gasket -- hard to tell but the new one is slightly bigger so we had to tool it anyway so we put the logo in it too.

Well you will be able to get one again soon. We made a special run of SAZ-1000Ds just for WoofersEtc.com that is due in about two weeks. Many people are looking for mates to their 1000Ds and this will be another, and the final chance to get one! This will likely be a one-time deal for a final run on these amps. I'll get more information up on pricing and whatnot once they actually arrive here at our facility.

We had them in stock again form July to October and they all sold out again. I'm making some minor revisions and then producing more (small stuff... will not make them incompatible with older motors).

We just got them in a little bit ago -- dealers will be adding them online soon. Our guys in Russia have already had them for a while before us

Nice pictures! Looking forward to seeing more installs with these guys

These will go through rigorous testing before approval for production. I am hoping we got it right the first time -- but if I am not 100% satisfied I will make more tweaks before doing full production. Stay tuned !

I have the pre-breakin specs as well -- they need a nice break-in period to get the more settled in specs. The Fs and Qts will drop as usual. Take note especially of how low the Le is now... this will extend the top-end response and reduce inductive distortion significantly from prior models. D2 Specs: D4 Specs:

Originally posted on CACO by TommyK in May 2010 : ---------- Ok, finished with dinner and the garage and outside is cleaned up, so now its on TO THE NUMBERS! Ok first off, I'll run down the equipment. A single SA-8 and a pair of mb quart 2000d's running at 2 ohms strapped. Box is a tommy k special. The note played for all the scores was 45 hz. First up is a picture of the meters. On the left is DC amperage draw for both amps, then AC amperage, then AC voltage. Do the math and that ends up being 2816 watts. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS! This amount of power pushed the sub HARD, to the point where the cone hit the basket. But I'm doing maximum SPL tests so I don't care if I break something. Now, for the NUMBERS! First, since most people always want sealed on the dash numbers, even though my truck sucks ASS sealed up, here ya go: Now things start to get interesting. MECA headrest style, door open: On a side note, i did hit a 148.8 but didn't take a picture. And, for the piece de la resistance, OUTLAW: I will note that this is the FIRST box I have built for this sub, and literally did maybe an hour of testing and tuning to produce these scores. Give me a couple days and I can see things going up. Hopefully I'll build a box for the pair soon and we can REALLY see what these little guys are capable of. ----------

Pricing is coming out a bit higher than expected due to the amount of aluminum in the frame, the large internal aluminum shorting ring, extra steel in the motor, added labor to assemble, and the doubled leads -- but I didn't want to make any compromises so it is what it is! I wanted to keep it around ~150 MAP but it looks like it will be $185 MAP (same as an SA-10) -- of course we have to keep in mind there is really nothing else like this on the market to compare to price-wise. I have NOT added a penny to the price to cover what I paid in tooling -- I am pricing ONLY on cost to produce per unit so this is the best price I could possibly offer on this driver. I think when we see one of these standing next to an SA-8 v.1 it will pretty much explain itself visually. So -- that being said I will likely produce an SD-2 8" to fill in the large price gap from the E8v.2 ($89) to this guy ($185)... so I'll start development on the SD-2 model soon to come in around the pricing level of the SA-8 v.1 as we know it today so we'll have a full spectrum depending on budget.

I'd love to see some crazy 8s numbers from you Ray Thanks!

Very nice build !

The question is... what will Tommy do with the SA-8 v.2 ?!

Congrats !

Yes.

I don't expect T/S to vary dramatically from the current SA-8 -- the way we have them set up now works much better for bottom-end than a higher sensitivity design (I've tried it). The 1w/1m is sensitivity which does not = efficiency per-se on a subwoofer. We rate them 400 RMS. Ported @ 0.6 cubes Sealed @ 0.3 cubes
