SI 8" pictures

Recommended Posts

This might now be exactly how the final version will look, but here's a peek at what I have sitting at my house.

And another picture...

Oh yeah, measured near-field frequency response un-baffled was 40-1600 Hz +/- 3 dB. Not too shabby. :P

hmmm maybe I'll use 8 of these instead of 8 of the RE8's. But I have no idea what the cost is. how much will these run for?

Sweet! Needs a different front gasket though. ;) One piece would look cleaner. Can't wait to get my hands on them. Have you it in an enclosure yet?

Speaking of which, I need my enclosure for the 12 back. I'm going to put a plate on it to accept the 8" and run it in my car...with 1k on it. (obviously not the full 1k :P )

Cost won't go up from what we've already posted due to the top plates. I'll try to listen to it as soon as it stops raining here long enough for me to work on my car.

Tell me about it. I feel like I'm in the freaking rain forest here. We've had about a 10 year drought and now it rains every damn day. Geez.

had to show pix of one of mine after seeing that little guy lol. Its cute. I'll definetly buy a pair to see how the react. Top plate seems tall enough but not for that large of a surround imo. don't mind the glue this is the one I broke, need to use different dustcap or surround I want the high roll surrounds but they're heavy so efficiency will go lower than it allready is. There's a pic of the motor in my 1st thread keep up the good work guys.

Efficiency on our 8" is up there, so the "large" surround doesn't hinder it one bit. Taller, narrower, surrounds actually decrease efficiency from what we have now.

+/- 12mm one-way linear doesn't exactly spell a normal surround for an 8. And with a bandwidth of +/- 3 db from 40 Hz to 1,600 Hz, I'd say the 8 does a pretty good job of holding it's own despite the look of the parts used.
