Prices? Specs? optimal enclosure size?

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

12's and 15's will be offered, I have the specs listed in my forum section. We are still working on final pricing, however msrp will be around 350, map will be around 300. The pre-order sale will start around 200 with shipping included. The 350 price is a real world msrp. This price will leave enough margin in the product so that not only Pinnacle Acoustics can turn a profit, but also our rep firm, and our dealers. This line was designed to not only compete but rival those of the liking of a JL W6. The product will be packaged just as your popular mainstream products in a full color "gift" style packaging.

We have spent over a year and a half on r&d with Dan Wiggins to come up with a line that wiould offer superb sound quaility and reasonable pricing, that would save the consumer money in the long run.

As seen on the video, Dan's xbl^2 technology enables us to produce decent numbers from a relative small amount of power. The sub in the video is on a Kicker 750.1 wired at 4 ohms metered by a termlab positioned on the middle of the windshield. So it is really only recieving 300-375 watts rms. Most other competitors would use around 1000 watts rms to reach the 24mm of xmax that we are achieving. Just think of the savings involved when you go with that smaller amp, small power wiring, and possibly no need for an extra battery or a large output alternator.

Optimal enclosure size for a flat cuve with a 3db rolloff at 28 hertz is 2.25 tunned to 27 hertz. But you can range anywhere from 1.5 to 3.5 cubes tuned anywhere from 27 to 36 hertz depending on your goal.

hit 148 with 350 watts....

[Kanaworm$ 292]

Very nice!

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

148db 350-450 watts on the dash. The TL don't lie. XBL^2 is coming back with a vengeance. Imagine what 3 of these on a Sundown 1500 would be like!?

Im thinking 2 on the Audioque 1200D im getting this week. What are your subs geared towards, how are they on the low end department? I dont mind getting loud but being low is my main concern.

[Sir-Lancelot 216]

Nice.

Or

Imagine a bunch of them on 3000w, lol

Appears to be a nice offering man. Best of luck to you Sir.

Damn! Ill tell my brother..Damn! its impressive!

The sub is first and foremost a sq sub. Because the sub uses xbl^2 we are able to effectively cut the voice coil in half compared to your typical overhung design sub. Because the voicecoil is cut in half the depth of the magnent can also cut in half saving tons of weight and mounting depth. Also when the voice coil is shorten you lower inductance, and moving mass which helps keep rocking to a minimum. Since we have less rocking we can have a tighter gap which inturn creats a higher flux field. The voicecoil is coupled with the lightweight hybrid reinforced paper cone that is half as thick as a normal paper pulp cone. By making things lightweight and with the use of the splitcoil design, which creates a flatter bl curve than any other motor structure on the market, we can use a very soft suspension. This means the spider does its job of preventing rocking with out hindering the in and out movement. All this equates to an audible and measurable decrease in about 30 percent destortion and a 40 to 60 percent decrease in power need to drive the sub to xmax vs any other sub with an equivilant xmax.

In short you will be hard pressed to find a better sounding sub with a 24mm xmax and at its price range.

[Duran 387]

Is this your own line? You just had Dan help with the design?

hit 148 with 350 watts....

It's all in the install and vehicle acoustics and how the car is modded to achieve even crazier scores...

the A-team has been able to do a 154.x with less than 40w of power.

This is an extreme vehicle.. major vehicle mods...

I wouldnt worry about how it's possible... it's just proof that it's in the install so nobody should expect near 150s in every vehicle out there..

that's why there is competitions. If it were always that easy... then competitions would be a thing of the past.

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

Yes this is the first of many lines to come. I have a licensing agreement with ADI and Dan Wiggins designs the product per my specifications. And no this set up is in a 2.25 cube enclosure tuned to 27 hertz as seen in the video, thrown in the back of a 2007 Toyota Matrix with no modification what-so-ever. It is a hatchback so the numbers are a little higher because so, but it is no where near an extreme vehicle. No I would not expect to see a 150 in a trunk, I will however gaurantee it will be louder on less power than anything else on the market in the same "daily" enclosure set up with equivilant xmax.

Don't worry there will be plenty of more videos to come in the near future in diffenet vehicles and enclosure designs so everyone can make their own informed decision on the matter.

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

The reading on the TL was found to be unacurate. The sensor was bad and reading high. A new sensor reads about 140 on the dash. The amp however is not a kicker zx750.1 it is a kicker zx500.1 wired at four ohms. I will have another unedited video up soon.

Sounds very promising. Opens up some options for when upgrade time rolls around the corner.

Personally I'd love it if companies showed test videos with the setup in a car with a trunk. Almost every video I see to "show-off" a new sub or design is always in a hatch or SUV style vehicle. I can think of a few reasons why that is. However, as an owner of a vehicle with a trunk I'd just love to be able to see what results would be like with a setup similar. A single 12 on 350w RMS barely makes noise in a car like mine. (Grand Marquis/Crown Vic/Town Cars have the worst trunks) I mean shit, I have a near 20 gallon gas tank between my back seats and trunk.

[Quentin Jarrell 671]

I fully agree I also can't stand it when I go to a manufacturer's website and can't find enough info to build an acurate enclosure. I will be getting with mark in a bit to build a website when we have all of our information verified and get our graphic designing worked out. We will have as much information availiable including Kipple results and charts.

We are lucky to have one of the most talented minds in the industry to help with our designing and manufacturing.
