Nightshade-X (NS-X) First Photos

[sundownz 197]

Just got em back from the machine shop - had to get the holes tapped for basket bolts.

I talked to the machine shop about making an optional heat plate as well... would bolt between the basket and top plate. May be an option on these

[sundownz 197]

These will be one line up from the Nightshades - rated for 2250 - 2500 watts RMS.

Nice...what size are those baskets?

[sundownz 197]

15" Baskets.

The motors are not especially large - but I am expecting great results

As always Jacob, we are expecting great things from this sub, will it be offered in the 18" size too?

And are you going for more efficiency than the nightshade with this as well?

I'll leave you get back to work now ;p

Should have much more motor force than the Nightshade - better for SPL scores.

That looks intimidating...

We may do that - we'll see how everything works out!

cost more or less than Z15?

[sundownz 197]

These are higher than the Nightshade - so more than Z15 and Nightshade.

a ok...

aesthetically appear below Nightshade.

But are designed specifically for the spl?

Nightshade then to play music every day

while this new model for spl

[sundownz 197]

Yes, the Nightshade is still going to be better for a smooth daily response -- these have much higher motor force and power handling than the Nightshade so will be superior for SPL applications.

These can still be used daily but are a bit more towards the SPL side than the Nightshade.

Don't be fooled by the smaller physical dimensions... these are only about 2 pounds lighter than the Nightshade motor and pack more motor force

[kkk4 3]

ok.

expect photos of the engine, compared to the engine near the traditional Nightshade

the diameter of the magnets is the same?

you have other photos?

and the monster?

[sundownz 197]

Monster is higher than these even

I'll get more photos later when they are built.

ok, last question

sound at low frequencies should be greater the classic Nightshade?

reproduces the low frequencies the most classic Nightshade?or this?

Classic Nightshade should have smoother low frequency extension in an equal enclosure. The Nightshade-X will give louder peak SPL, though.

Xmax?

[sundownz 197]

Xmax?

Xmax = Your Face
