165+ dB Testing @ Sundown

[sundownz 197]

From the other night -- left number is dash and right number is kick panel.

It's our new SPL project... so far we haven't officially stated what is in it so if you know (shhhhhhhhh) -- but we'll have it at a show soon then, of course, have all the info out there!

It's mainly a burp vehicle and the absolute peak is 60 Hz but we have done pretty good numbers in the 40s range as well -- haven't really played lower than that as of yet.

We did have it up to a 165.4 as well with a few tweaks.

Since we showed it out in the wild now here are the pics :

* Vehicle is a SEAT Terra

* Probably the funniest looking vehicle ever made.

* Two NS-1 amps

* Closer view. There are 32x D1600 XS Power batteries up top.

* Trophies from the weekend; 165.4 in IASCA and 165.8 in dB Drag SS 1-2

* Right now we have two layers of Audio Technix 80-Mil on the roof with a Sundown Logo "head liner" on top of it.

* Two completely stock Z v.3 18s in small boxes. We whipped these up quick to do initial testing -- we'll be making better chambers and better attachment methods for them soon.

* Through the port... more port testing will be forthcoming as well.

We did some testing last night one vs. one woofer... stock Z v.3 compared to Z v.3 with ONE extra spider (Yellow spider pack). One on one it made a very substantial gain. Have to build a mate for it to try two subs (coming soon)

So we will also be making a set with TWO extra spiders (Red NS v.3 spider pack) compared to stock to see if it keeps going or tapers off.

A very well thought out enclosure build ...

Wow not what i was expecting. I thought it was going to be a ton of subs lol nice job guys!

[civicbuild86 13]

wow unique looking car.....and thought it would have alot more subs also

[sundownz 197]

At lower power the Yellow spiders were about 2.5dB louder than the stock black ones; but at high power only 0.1-0.2 dB louder. So this means we need to look elsewhere to make gains -- such as stronger motors, tweaking the cabin and box, etc.

Very cool information to have on hand, though, in case anyone is doing a lower clamped power class with a similar big 4th order

sounds like I will opt for the yellow spiders since I can only run 4k total rms in trunk class

Derrick is still working hard on it in the mean-time.

Currently 6x Z v.3 15" Dual-1 with stock spiders and NS v.2 coils (pulled from the Yard Sale... these are not optimized for the Terra) on 3x NS-1 v.2 amplifiers.

Photo is from the TDH show in Virginia this past weekend; certified 3x dB Drag Score.
