How strong is the Nightshade Cone?

[sundownz 197]

Since we tore up the Nightshade proto I decided to have some fun showing off how strong the cone is. I cut the surround off so it would sit flat on the ground and had Justin (local sales rep) stand on the back of the voice coil:

Just sits at around 350 pounds Neither the cone or the triple joint glue failed and he bounced up and down a bit while he was on there.

VERY NICE>>>>> i gotta get me sum

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

I'm digging your early 80's wood paneling.

Wish my neos were like that. I just snapped the cone above the coil on one of my neos

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

Badass... we did the same thing with the RE MT cone.... then i (skinny dude) tried it on a RF P1 cone. folded pretty easy, then i jumped pretty hard and coil fell to the floor

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

are they a paper pulp cone?

Yep, an incredibly strong one.

Add a 70lb vest to him and it'll be like me standing on it. I am 6'7" and 420. Most chairs don't like me but it looks like that cone could do it.

Cool! Strong cones FTW!

Jake and I were just talking and we think the Nightshade cone is stronger than a "special" paper cone we have laying around here. The thing is heavy (about double the weight of a "normal" cone), but it sure is strong!

[ford302redneck 15]

I"ve heard those cones are pretty pimp. I guess I saw for myself now.

Its sad how some companies, have stock paper cones, that will break with pushing your finger threw them, just to make u upgrade to a much stronger higher dollar done. :cough: :cough:

+1 Jake.

Nice job on the strong cone, Nothing like putting power to a sub and watching the cone shred.

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 think I remember hearing about the Adire Brahma cone being strong enough to support a person.

Strong ass cone anyways..damn
