  1. Hey everyone wanted to let you know the subs are almost here, and they are finished! They turned out great and below is the actual pictures. Last Chance to Preorder! D2 and D4 Available, once they arrive they will be sold only at MAP Preorder Pricing - $140 ea shipped in lower 48 Rated Power Handling : 600 Watts RMS Motor Depth : 85mm (~3.34") and a 12" 12 Spoke Frame (~3.25" Deep) = Total Depth ~6.6" Spider : Dual Layer High % Nomex Content Progressive Spider 50mm WW on a 2.5" Diameter Former. Spider on production model is relatively stiff. Available in.. : D2 and D4 Model's Enclosure Recommendations Ported : 1.75 CuFt Per Driver after displacement of sub. Tuned ~36hz Sealed : .8-.9 CuFt Per Drive after displacement of sub. Unique Cooling System This Subwoofer has a unique voice coil air flow system with no vent flaring on the back plate. Instead, Jacob designed a system in which the top of pole has an enormous flare and the coil former has vent holes. This creates a nice flow patern through the holes and out the pole (vent). This allows less machining when making the sub and works very well! That system combined with a chrome finish allows for a much prettier finish then most driver's! The VVX-12 has a progressive suspension to help prevent mechanical damages. This includes a triple joint re-enforcement ring to hold this joint strongly together at pretty much any power level you throw at them! The VVX-12 Is a great daily driver and will work well in both sealed and vented enclosures. While the driver was tested in both sealed and ported enclosures pre-production, it shined in the vented enclosures on around 600 Watts continuous power. We threw more power then rated at this driver for an extended period of time and it held up without breaking a sweat!

  2. What power will you be pushing them with? I would recommend if you are using 2 subs to get 3-3.5 cubes (1.5-1.75ea). Subs landed in NY today, then to NC then to customers! Finally!!
  3. The boat will arrive October 18th, that is the official day to mark in your calendar . Sorry about all delays, very unusual.

    I know I have a car audio addiction when......

    Pretty much addicted when both of my companies are 100% Car Audio Related . That and I bought a vehicle specifically for my new install. Music is my life and passion, and it was something about Car Audio that really grabbed me and sucked me in.

    SAZ-3500, Jacob open please.

    I've run multiple combinations of Sundown Amps and some got hotter then others, and they all had plenty of JUICE. None ever shut off and to be honest I wouldn't worry about it unless they do. Jacob is always very helpful should thing's get really bad.

    IMO the bass is better in the Beats but the Bose offer a more complete sound

    I have a pair of Beats by Dre and Bose. I love both and use both frequently. It's hard to say which one is better because both offer different sound qualities.
  8. Sorry about not posting the box yet, crazy busy over here . I will get it up asap. Xmaxx 21mm one way
  9. I will post one tonight or tomorrow for you . Crazy busy over here
  10. Because he bought it new does not mean it will hold the value when trying to resell. Not saying you want to kill him since he is your friend, but a fair value on all of that equipment used would be around $300-350 I would say. Don't take my word for it, but that is my opinion.
  11. Can't wait to get the preorders out to the customers and get some video's and reviews up .
  12. I will ship it international at a great price PM me
  13. We will have local shops around Tampa carrying them so you can use that option . MAP Will be $179 as of right now, if something changes I will make note of it.
  14. We really wanted our customers to be able to push them hard all the time . I have noted several times that although rated for 600 RMS they won't break a sweat running at that power and a bit higher really. Really can't wait to get some big installs done and see how they perform on different power levels for a certain period of time. Although I am looking forward to getting the 4 installed in the Ford 500, kovemaster is doing 16 in a F-150 that I am dying to see complete!
  15. In a series of new subwoofers to be released by SKAR Audio LLC., the VVX-12 is the first in the lineup!

If you can picture the logo in our forum header across the center that is how the subwoofers will look. We will post pictures as soon as they come in, but use this generalization for pre order reasons. The VVX-12 Will be across the bottom.

  16. It was "bring your parent to work week" in China, so they didn't get much done last week. ROFL, I don't think I've read something that funny yet horrible in quite some time! x2 I think what's worse is that it took me 3 times before I got it ;p. I'm off my game
  17. Subs are almost here! There was a minor delay with a factory audit but they are in transit. We will announce the day they arrive
  18. Thanks to Mark, our website is now live. You can find all the information about our first subwoofer, the VVX-12 on this site, as well as options for purchasing it! www.SkarAudio.com

    upper body bulk up ?

    I disagree with this statement in terms of supplements. I workout twice a day, and before getting into lifting hardcore I was a triathlete. I only weight 190, but when I was doing endurance sports I was @ 165-170. Taking supplements such as protein and creatine got me up to 190 while allowing me to keep a bodyfat of 6%. I suggest that you cycle all the supplements you take so your body doesn't get use to them. As far as workouts, I do one muscle group per day. You can only do one and not two if you kill it very hard, or you are taking too much time. For each muscle group I like to do 3 sets, 8-10 reps, 4-5 excersies. I do AB's 5 times a day.
  20. Again, Posting some high quality pics for anyone who is interested and can't find any on the web. I will update this thread when it is installed in my vehicle, but that may be a week or two. SAZ-2500 Will be pushing four of my VVX-12's. Can't wait!! Amp is a great size as well for the power it packs. PS - Don't mind the watermarks, they are for my web store and what not, don't want them flying around the web
  21. No one has answered my questions. This driver is unique in that it will be offered at a price better then a lot of others similar to it. It was designed for daily use , but built with parts to withstand some serious abuse. This sub features a unique cooling system as well. We believe when they arrive that our customers will be more then satisfied with a great woofer offered at a sub-standard price.
  22. Here are some brand new pictures of a Soundstream XXX-6500. I noticed it can be hard to find non-"stock" pictures of some amplifiers and I know some people were interested, so here ya go. They were on my eBay listings for this amp, but not all search on there. PS - Don't Mind the watermark, that's so other stores and what not don't steal them. Most people who carry these do not stock them and that's why they use generic pictures. Enjoy
