i cant wait for these beasts! ill be the first one to order a pair of 18"s

[Thorshammer 1]

Any updates?

[sundownz 197]

Still working on perfecting them... will be doing more testing soon.

What do you say is a rough estimate on box size in cubes for a single 12 when these come out? I don't have alot of room in my xB but I sure would like to put one of these suckers in there. If I don't have enough room, I might say screw it and make a wall for a single 15 or 18.

About the same size boxes as the Nightshades.

1.5 - 12

3 - 15

4-5 - 18

What numbers do you think I am looking at with one of these and two 1500's?

[sundownz 197]

Totally depends on the setup... from 140 - 150 somewhere in there

I have a regular Nightshade breaking 154 with four 1500s but not every setup will do that.

Will you warranty the sub with that much power?

Nope! You can buy re-cones, though

so you're telling me an 8cuft box will work beautifully for two 18 NS?

wow, that's what I need for my two fi 15's to perform optimally, that makes me think...

Correct. 8-10 cubes is what people are using for two 18s and it works great.

[Thorshammer 1]

I need a pr. of 10's like yesterday! LOL

I'm shredding spiders left and right trying to bassrace with my AQ's and 2 5k's.

when it is available?

[sundownz 197]

There is no ETA yet.

Nightshade-x is not yet for sale? it will take after the summer?

[sundownz 197]

Back for testing.

The motor force is lower than we anticipated so this prototype may end up as the Nightshade v.2 next year The motor force is dead on for that.

Made some changes to reduce moving mass compared to the Nightshade - so SPL should be improved along with power handling.

beasts!

[Derrick824 4]

Now those are what I'm waiting for. More motor force + less moving mass = me extra happy!

[diablo_331 23]

ill take that "NSv2" off your hands

[sundownz 197]

The latest built prototypes are D4 coils for testing purposes.

Testing two 3000Ds @ 1 ohm each now on one of them in my single 15" enclosure - results are very good so far

Will post shortly.

[sundownz 197]

I am clamping power as well - I am impressed

Results coming once I fire off a few more burps.

[sundownz 197]

Peak score :

153.4 dB (did not clamp power this time)

Power Clamp Results :

Volume 35/50 - 148.8 dB / 1230 watts

Volume 40/50 - 152.0 dB / 2990 watts

Volume 50/50 - 153.3 dB / 4960 watts

Since adding new dampening to the floor and changing my amp rack I haven't tested for a new frequency - I am still using 53 Hz like from my dampener log. I also have not played with box position yet - with my new rack the box is farther forward than before.

So - it could probably be a little louder but I am just playing around with the prototype right now

I am using my Extech True Power clamp - holding the burp for ~5-6 seconds to get my reading.
