We should be doing the drawing on Friday -- event went great ! Thanks for contributing !

Bit of an experiment on my part... everyone goes crazy over T/S specs without really understanding them so I've been holding off on releasing them for these drivers.

Refurbished Amplifiers : dB-r Electronics, Online Store dB-R is having a clearance on refurbished amps! 20% off the regular rate -- go have a look to check it out

With the 18s you have a huge 9.25" spider so they'll handle some juice. We rate them 1500 RMS conservatively.

We've extended the sale -- go check it out !

Z v.3 pricing = Z v.2 pricing for reference.

Pricing, Depth, Specs, Test Videos, Etc, all in the link

Some production shots from the factory before they were loaded up : ---------- SD-2 10" ---------- SD-2 12" ---------- You will note these have 16 vent holes in the frame vs. 12 on the prototypes and the surround is stitched on -- the surround material is also an upgraded material. Otherwise the cone / spider / frame are equal to the SA line. The motor and coil shrank down a bit -- so you can think of the SD-2 like a "mini-SA" line.

As they were just loaded up this week we are expecting them in ~30 days. I am not planning to do any pre-ordering as we are backed up enough on built products as-is but they will be available soon

They are an authorized dealer - as with many online dealers they get us to drop-ship which takes a couple of days generally.

UPDATED

Some other amps will not be damaged by the DC input -- depends on the design. Ours will not like it.

Check the RCA signal for DC voltage -- I've noted several OEM adapters recently putting out ~5v DC on the RCA cables. While investigating this contact us for service.

There is no need for further discussion - it needs service as I said earlier. Likely a small part that went bad for no particular reason; which can happen. E-Mail for service.

You can use identical boxes to the SA line sealed or ported.

It needs service.

Bump to the top !

Yep.

ETA was pushed back a bit from initial estimate -- received e-mail notification this morning of an ETA at our shop around 10/24/11 -- so keep that in mind !

1.0 is what we suggest for them - I would stock to that.

Excellent

It would not be allowed in the 0-1000 class -- if it was then, IMO, the entire rating system would be more of a joke than it is now. In terms of selling the amp to the general population rating a 6500+ watt amp for 4000 @ 1 ohm also wouldn't encourage buying it. In any event... we've been tweaking the ratings, manual, etc... final manual ratings : 6500 @ 1 ohm 3300 @ 2 ohm 1800 @ 4 ohm We rate our amps at 12.8v -- the NS-1 as with other amps will exceed it's ratings. It would fit in classes denominated by 1800-watt

I had Brandon measure these -- so any input let me know before we get the round of site updates completed.

We are a tad backed up -- phone # can be looked up online and was posted. If you do call DO leave a message.

The 6.5" is NOT yet available... just testing the sample. Very smooth measured response on these... can cross as high as 4-5k for tweeters that don't like much mid-range output. Measured open baffle -- in a baffle low-end would increase on all of them but you can see the trend as the very deepest bottom end increases as you go up in size and the top-end increases as you go down in size.
