SI 8 progress?

Recommended Posts

nicks got the proto in. it is currently in the back of his car. i have yet to see it or do extensive listening to it. but what i have heard it is really great. the other night he picked me up on the way to the bar, but unfortunatly it was too dark to see it in his trunk :(

The 8 is fully broken in and sounds phenomenal. It's tight, accurate, and gets really stinking low for a single 8. I was going to put a 12 and two 8's in my car (switchable between the two setups of course) but now I'm just going to put four 8's if that tells you anything.

We're working on raising some capital to get them made. Once that happens, a production run of the 8's will be made and all will be well. :)

I had a chance to listen to the SI8 this weekend, and it's a very nice little sub. Very impressed and I think the niche these are going to fit into is one that desperately needs to be filled. A nice powerful 8 that doesn't cost almost two hundred bucks to pick up, and that outperforms most of the high priced 8s on teh market anyways. Good job Nick.

Do the four 8s Nick. You know you want to. They're just so cool :)

Now you can get rid of that dub7... ;)

Good to hear you like it, then we all know it's a performer. :slayer:

Slow down there cowboy. The SI8 is nice, but a single one isn't going to get my DubSebben out of there I dont think. Pretty happy with the whole package in the T/A, but that doesn't mean I cant have fun in the Neon :) I'm thinking I'll be able to get my hands on an SI8 when they hit. If I can swing it and they impress me, I may swap out the Shiva in the Neon for a pair of SI8s :D Just gotta decide if I want to deal with the headache of doing a new baffle or not :wacko:

True. That 8W7 is by far the best sounding JL sub I've ever heard.

But for your Neon...a pair of SI 8's would be the jam. :D

are you going to run a "boob" style cone or concave like the 12/15's? or flat like the COMP8?

Oh yeah, a pair of the SI8s in the Neon, that would be muey pimp :) But I've got two cubes, so I might as well go with four of them :D Definantly want to get my hands on one. The one sounded incredible in Nick's car. It would have to be a noticable improvement over the Shiva for me to rebuild the baffle of the box (not an easy task the way it is built) for me to make the swap, but the idea is definantly floating around in my head ^_^

First time I've seen pics of the motor structure. I see what you're talking about with stacking the top plates now Nick. Looks very nice. Can't wait to see them if you put the logo on the dustcap. That would really set it off.
