    Sundown x,z 10/ Tantric Sounds hd10

    You can go to the ssa store under the sundown subs category and read the description. They are scheduled to arrive rhis month.
  2. Hello guys, I am looking to put together a system with one 10 inch driver in a ported box for my mustang. I am looking for something with around 1500 watts rms, long throw excursion with 30mm or greater xmax. These are the choices that i have found and liked so far: Sundown x10 Sundown z10 Tantric Sounds hd10 I seen some others like ssa xcon 10 but it is still based on the old style basket and spider setup and while it has an xmax of 31mm, Jacob of Sundown said that these older designs reach xmax and xmech at the same time whereas the new styles like the x,z and tantric subs are designed with way more throw built in so over excursion wont damage the woofer to an extent. Which of these do you think will fit my application and why? Thanks. I am looking to power either sub with a dd m1c, m2b, saz-2500d, or ia20.1.

    Then maybe YOU should do your research before you type. I did. The specs are posted. I was stating what i read and saw, not what I thought. Maybe YOU should not comment on this thread if you do not have anything positive to contribute. Sir.

     I appreciate your criticism, however, you should do your research before typing. Those drivers are linear way past 30mm. FYI. As I said per results he posted. And per them (the results above) they are not. As I have already said he may have revisions, but if so there have been none posted. Let's see if we can get Jacob to chime in on this and clarify some of these renderings. I am not a loudspeaker designer so I cannot legitimately argue specs.

    Really depends on enclosure tuning and goals. If the op plans on playing below tuning the larger xmech on the Z.4 could be and advantage over the X on the same power. I do not plan on playing below tuning intentionally, however, in the event that it does happen, i do not want to damage my driver. I will set amp gains, ssf, and port tuning accordingly. i want to give the driver the best possible environment for it to perform the duties it was designed for. I am looking for the one that fits my application the best. i do not want to use something that is not intended for my purpose. I am looking for loud, low, good power handling, and sound extremely good while doing so. I want to tune 28-30hz 1.5cu.ft. with 16sq.in of port area per cube.

       If the softparts hit xmax at 30mm then that would equal xmech. The softparts go up to 50mm one-way on the Z.4 IIRC. Linear xmax on the prototype is around 30mm.        [url=http://www.sundownaudio.com/misc/BL_CURVE/Klippel/Zv4_Klippel_OG_15_Prototype.jpg]http://www.sundownaudio.com/misc/BL_CURVE/Klippel/Zv4_Klippel_OG_15_Prototype.jpg[/url]  Thank you for backing my research with fact. I think the x is capable of 50mm and the z is 62.5! Wowzer

    I know they are rated for different power handling, but they are based off of the same design. The x,z subs are similar in design to the tantric subs where you have the capability of more xmech than xmax.

    Hookup FI Q to Audioque Amp

    your wiring should look like this, http://images.the12volt.com/12voltimages/1_2ohm_dvc_1ohm.gif
  10. haha yea right, wish i just had the amount of money it would take to purchase all three..
  11. Digital Designs Z2LV, Z-SE, or M4A? Just a thought. I would like to see what you guys think and what kind of numbers have you seen from actual tests.
  12. Thanks. I figured someone who knows their stuff has put at least one of these through an actual, reliable test and would chime in..
  13. come on guys, just for sh**s and giggles I'd like to see what kind of numbers these monsters actually put out. Not a verses thread just some general power talk.
  14. I've been running one of Mechman's 270 amp alts for a little over a year and have had nothing but good results with it. Never had one issue with it at all. I was faced with the same dilemma, and chose Mechman. I feel like I made a good choice too. I am in no way talking against DC Power as i've never used their products. I'm sure Rob does a heck of a job providing top notch equipment also. I'm just speaking from personal experience, if you go Mechman, you won't regret it.

    saz 3000d power supply questions

    Hello guys, i have a question about properly powering my saz 3000d. Right now i am running 3 group 34/78 yellowtops. One of them has a dead cell so i am going to remove all of them and redo my battery bank. Under hood battery is a redtop group 34. My total rms wattage is around 3600 watts including my mid amp. I've been searching google all morning looking for a straight-forward answer to this question. I havent found any real answers just mostly suggestions. this is a daily setup so reserve capacity is the key here. I have been looking at the xs power d3100 but i dont know if 1 will be enough or do i need 2? Also, i have a 270a mechman alt, all big three upgrades and dual runs of 1/0. Can someone please help me figure this out so i can get back to ground pounding! thanx.

    saz 3000d power supply questions

    yes they are grounded to the inside of the trunk on the side by the wheel well. I thought the body was all tied together and the current transferred through the body..

    saz 3000d power supply questions

    yea that would be the most sensible thing to do. I have dual runs of 1/0 positive ran to the trunk. from there, i run both runs of positive to the 1st battery. Also have two runs of 1/0 negative ran to the 1st battery from the side wall in the trunk using (2) dual ground foots. from the first battery, parallel + and - to the second battery, and paralell + and - to the third battery. All battery wiring done with 1/0. Wiring in between batteries is less than a foot each.

    saz 3000d power supply questions

    kool. yea, i have a voltmeter now. thats how i knew i had a problem. voltage was dropping more than normal under a load. It was fine before the battery went bad. Maybe i could just buy another yellowtop and replace it? I just figured that i needed better batteries. But if the yellowtops are good quality, then i'd just stick with them it would be a lot cheaper.

    saz 3000d power supply questions

    oh ok. so the largest xs that will fit under the hood and 1 d3100? does that sound about right? and that should solve my problem?
  20. streetbeater07

    saz 3000d power supply questions

    so i need to upgrade the redtop under the hood as well?

    saz 3000d power supply questions

    ok. I got you. Well, let me ask this question, since overkill is always good couldnt i just run 2 of the smaller series like 2 2400's or 2 2700's and still have room to play? i like the idea of overkill too but two d3100's would be overkill on my pocket!! lol
  22. streetbeater07

    saz 3000d power supply questions

    ok, thanks! what about 1 d3100 & 1 smaller xs battery like a d1200? would that work or does it need to be the same size? I feel like 1 would do the trick as a secondary battery just not 100% sure. I know some of you guys have been in this same dilemma. I play my music a lot sitting still for demos. 3 AA Havoc 12's 6 cubes ported to 34 hz.
  23. Hey guys could someone help me as to how to go about setting the bass boost on my amplifer? Is it bad to use it? SAZ-3000D
  24. so i just ran the rca's straight to the head unit and everything sounds a lot cleaner now. I was running them through the external eq which has a 5volt pre out voltage. So now do i need to adjust my gains again since the deck is only a 4volt?
