~~ SSA Protoype super8 ~~

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Update: The super8 testing is going pretty well, it is doing fine now, but the one major limiting factor is the basket. We are going to have to move to an upgraded basket to really let this driver do what we really want it to do. The current one is limiting its capabilities and we really want this driver to stand out, and to reach that goal we have to switch baskets, along with a few other little tweaks.

Bad news: Adjustments pushes production back a while, and it raises our cost some.

Good news: Adjustments will show a noticeable improvement in performance across the board, end cost will stay the same and not be effected by the changes.

Side note: we will probably do a mini-run of these 8's, which will be identical to the prototype I am testing now that a few SSA members can grab to try out. But with the understanding that there are limitations to the current version and there will be upgrades to it.

[audio-neon 34]

yea, I could always play with a couple of them myself.

My sad update is that the jeep patriot will not be seeing a dedicated subwoofer with the fronts I picked out (besides my front speakers will reach down to 20 hz.)

We don't want to give a price until we are positive. And less then 7.

Any update?

[bigtoepfer 0]

I'd like to be added to the list of potentials for the first 7 run. I can't wait for this. I'm trying to get away with just doing an 8" woofer for substage. And now i'm looking at the RLi-8 but i really want to wait till these come out. PM me with the details. puhlease

Seeing as how I am more on the SPL side of the spectrum most times, if my name gets thrown in the hat to get one or two to play with, I am all about it. Just let me know and I would be MORE than happy to do a test and review.

When I am able to get a hold of our build house and get the mini run going I will get the list together for the SSA members who want one.

But in the mean time, here is a pair of pictures of the interior of the box so you can see there are no tricks. I can take a shot of the driver in its box here soon, just need time with day light and no rain, and for me to have both at the same time is very rare.

thats a helluva port. Can't wait to see what that thing does

[poundindak69 15]

i would also like to be a lucky one on the list of testers. and that box is sexy. cant wait to see it with a sub in it.

[Mark LaFountain 1,054]

sweet looking box. I like that one.

[///M5 2,833]

Keep me on the PM list as well.

[mrray13 30]

nifty looking lil cube! can't wait for combo pics!

and this sub will go great with my rl-i8. i gots to get one, lol.

one of them will end up in the cooper!

wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[bjfish11 35]

Looks good Aaron. Cant wait to see it all finished, and hear how it sounds.

What are the specs on the box?

[johnecon2001 82]

I'll just beat up the fat kid and take his. No need to PM me.

It is actually finished, just needed to post interior shots for a few doubters. Thanks for the postive words, means more coming from a professional builder. I have been telling everyone it is a .5 @ 33hz because it is nice round numbers, but it is really .55 -.57 @ 32hz. It has been a while that I have sanded this much and used zero screws. The sad thing is I have to do a ton of sanding because at our current house, in the above pictures you are looking at the entire extent of my work shop.

When I have some extra time I will go back and pour in the resin corner curves.

[Thumpper 266]

LOL.....cupcakes work better.......

[subwoofery 0]

Still no spec for the mighty 8"?

All I need to know is sensitivity, xmax (due to sealed box) and RMS rating...

Could you be kind to realease a quick hint just to have people drooling over their keyboard?
