sundownz

We did our thermal cycle test on the X-12 with CCAW coil (final will have copper which we will also test) -- 1000 watts starting power for 5 minutes dropped to 900 across the duration so 10% compression... cranked up to ~1200-1250 and played for another 90 seconds before thermal failure. Again, our 60 Hz thermal test is brutal and we have fried MANY other drivers in ~2 minutes at their rated power levels. It's a very difficult test. All of our subs must pass for at LEAST 5 minutes to get their rating and we usually crank them up past rated after the 5 minute cycle as well. It's a long boring video and not quite a production model so I won't upload it -- when we do the copper production unit I will.

Nobody -- that is a pre-order special. They are normally $1125 Pre-order is technically over... so dealers will be taking down the 865 price any day.

The 3500D and 4500D will both be significantly more powerful than those amps and the 2500D will be similar in power.

Still working hard... truckload of amps due Thursday to Friday -- still working on large orders for several customers and dealers which include SA series AND amps. Going to be busy to capacity until Christmas !

Pre-Ordering is OVER -- amps due Thursday to Friday as long as the truck isn't delayed for any weird reasons.

To order any of the below items please PAYPAL us at [email protected] along with an order list (be specific) -- be SURE to have your address on the payment! You can also order from your favorite local or online dealer -- all dealers have the option to provide these sale and pre-order prices as well. This sale is for the USA ONLY!!! Prices below are shipped in the continental 48 states -- contact us for shipping quotes to AK and HI. The below pre-order items are due in December... could be anywhere from early to late December. This is the ETA -- as with all pre-sales the possibility exists for delays and there will not be ANY refunds. So please do not pre-order unless you are prepared for the wait period. This pre-order will run until the end of November unless the amps arrive early -- in which case it ends when they arrive. ---------- SAZ-4500D 3rd Run Regular - $1549 Pre-Order - $1200 SAZ-2500D 2nd Run Regular - $775 Pre-Order - $575 SAX-200.4 (NEW ITEM) Regular - $775 Pre-Order - $575 SAZ-1500D v.2 (NEW ITEM) Regular - $500 Pre-Order - $425 SAZ-3500D (ran out during the September sale, added to pre-order) Regular - $1075 Pre-order - $865 ----- Information on the new SAZ-1500D v.2 can be seen here: SAZ-1500D v.2 Photos - Car Audio Classifieds More SAZ-1500D v.2 testing will be posted when we get another new sample unit in stock.

ok thanks!! im just glad i was still able to get the pre-order sale before it was over, hey was also wondering if the saz 4500 comes with a remote bass knob or if i need to buy one separate? Comes with one.

I'll post as soon as I have an update.

So our warehouse is fairly empty right now -- but we have all sorts of inventory coming into stock within the next two weeks or so! We are working hard to prepare for it as there will be a TON of shipping going on. Hopefully the Holiday season doesn't delay delivery for too many folks who put in pre-orders -- I think it will probably take us a full 5 or 6 work days to get all of the pre-orders out to everyone once everything arrives; I am planning to work late as well during those days to speed it up as much as possible... currently expecting our shipments to be in around December 12th to 15th (of course this could change but we'll keep you guys up to date). Most of the SA-15s are already sold so we'll likely be out before my next batch arrives... good news on that is the next batch is going to be bigger than this one and is due in February, so we shouldn't be out of them for too long. The year is coming to an end and I'd like to say thanks to all of our customers who have been patient with everything going on the last quarter -- primarily being out of stock of nearly everything for the last month or two! This was due to some things we've been working on to expand for next year -- I expect stock to be much stronger in 2011 by FAR, though, and we are moving into a much bigger warehouse to facilitate the additional stock in January. So - thanks again to all our customers for making it all possible !

Good news and bad news... about 80% of the 12s and 15s are now sold. Hate to see them go so fast but for the end consumers they will be available @ WoofersEtc.com as many of them are headed that way. For dealers -- I am working as hard as I can to increase production for you guys. They should be in full stock again beginning of February. As of this moment I do have some 12s both ways and 15s in D2 still available -- if you want some please email or call me right away !

Promised I would show some pictures... we got some of our SA shipment yesterday (8s, 10s, 12s, E8s) and it showed up in a nice container with no pallets. So we had alot of fun unloading * First thing we saw - exciting, right ? * Does it end ?! * My view from inside... I was in the container the whole time tossing boxes to the other guys * Expanding dramatically when it came out of the container *laughs* Had to stand back this far to get them all in the picture. We shipped all the E8 v.2 pre-orders today and SA-15 pre-orders will start going out on Monday. DO NOT e-mail me asking when your specific SA-15 order will go out -- the answer is as soon as we possibly can ship them for everyone. They will *roughly* be shipped in the order they are received but likely one coil configuration at a time as it's easier to pull them that way -- so later orders of, for example, D4s may get sent before earlier D2 orders. This method speeds up the overall process.

Quantity wise -- more than the subs... but volume wise probably not as much as amps take up less room

Amps are due soon too -- woofers beat them here.

We came in Saturday to test / pack as many subs as we could -- it will probably take the rest of this week to ship the rest.

I think that perhaps they are all sold out once we fill all orders -- 15s only. Still have stock for 10s and 12s for sure and also some 8s. I have another production due in February of more 8s, 10s, 12s, and 15s. my reservations? do not you put aside? let me know that you just block them I will e-mail you about yours.

The port is indeed too small... you need more like 12-16 in^2

By the way -- thanks to everyone -- we work hard every day to make sure our customers are happy and it has paid off

As soon as possible -- as close as it's going to get at this moment.

We are working on alot of things to make calls and e-mail more efficient... some are just in early stages until we move to the new building... then it will be alot easier to get things efficient as we are building that space just for our application.

This pre-order will be ending in around a week or so... maybe less. So if you want to get an amp on pre-order now is the time.

These will most likely be in this week... so pre-order closed.

E8 v.2 Production started today! ETA is roughly the end of November for these to arrive. As always with a pre-order there is the chance for delays so please keep that in mind -- pre-orders are final and there will be no refunds for delays.

The top ring is the one I took off -- they still and always have also had an internal shorting ring.

I will also be adding an internal aluminum shorting ring standard on these -- a feature not commonly found on woofers in this category. This reduces inductance, flattens the inductance curve, improves power delivery by lowering reactive rise, and also is a bit of a heat-sink (minimal). Our Z v.2 (and v.3) and Nightshade v.2 models feature this as well and I decided to trickle it down
