Sundown Shallow Mid Prototype

[sundownz 197]

* 2 3/16" mounting depth - 2.1875"

* Compact neo cup motor

* Shallow paper cone with inverted rubber surround

* Very compact basket

-----

This driver has a full 8mm one-way linear excursion in a 2 3/16" deep package.

Still in prototype phase... may add even more extensive shorting rings to the motor for production, pending listening tests in a vehicle.

Not a fancy "looking" driver - all business in the shallowest package possible. Un-matched for linear excursion in this depth as far as I am aware.

Oh yah - no ETA here guys, still in testing phases - and no, I don't have any prototypes to sell and I am not sending this one around

your the man!

That's just cruel. I need a shallow midbass like nobody's business and you just tease me??? Argh!

Working on it as fast as I can

Finally.

[sundownz 197]

Maybe I'm working on a tweeter to go with it too - but who knows.

wait, just one prototype? how's that going to work in vehicle?

Will be doing A/B testing left to right vs. other mids.

Center channel, duh. Haha.

This could really help a lot of folks with cars with wimpy doors. I am eagerly waiting for a real review!

Will be testing A/B in Nick @ Stereo Integrity's Civic vs. his Adire Koda mid.

[///M5 2,833]

I wish you were closer, I have a whole pile of mids that we could compare it with.

[dem beats 1,223]

this is pretty damn awesome. I know some folks who would have loved this 2 years ago.

Indeed, not many drivers under 2.5" depth out there... much less with this much linear excursion.

[///M5 2,833]

You could say it nicer, most suck.

So I am really looking forward to there being an exception!

So is this a mid..midbass..or midrange? 6.5 or 8?

[sundownz 197]

Midrange / Mid-bass

Could be used 2-way or 3-way.

Will prefer a low tweeter crossover** point but can be used as high as 5k with some EQ work (either boost up high or cut down low to level it out).

** - I wonder what tweeter it would work well with? Hmmm

[the727kid 1]

Haha I def got tweets to play low enough. I am doing a 3way in the new car, I am in search of a midbass that can really put the kick drums in your chest.

I'm going out on a limb...the tweeter you are working on ?

please explaine the NEO motor thingy

what is the addvantage of it over a standard motor

/ cone compsition ?

coil size / power limit etc etc etc ???

Neodymium magnet structure - much smaller and lighter.

Cone is treater / waterproofed paper.

I will rate them 50 watts full bandwidth - with a proper HPF filter using more power should not present a problem.

These will cost under $100 each MSRP.

100 per set ?

will it come with Tweeters ?

crossovers ?

or will we have to procure this seperatelly?

[sundownz 197]

This is a raw speaker - you will need to acquire crossovers and tweeters on your own. The price for one 6.5" midrange driver will be under 100 dollars. These are not a generic driver at all so they are not dirt cheap.

I will hold off on any further power suggestions until I do further testing.

these look awesome

its LB, havent seen u around in awhile

[stovebolt6 3]
