Really? I dont believe it. I had hoped they would be accompanied with another box.

[audiophyle_247 2]

Updates?!

(sneak peeks perhaps?)

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

I am checking why the pictures are not loading. But I think we have decided not to release the mini-run of super8's because they will be fairly off what the production model will end up being. As for production, the new baskets are still in the works and we hope to have them going soon after.

In the end, even though it would only be a few, it would be best not to have the initial version floating around out there along side the production version.

So no vids of the prototype 8"s just to tease everyone.

Maybe one showing them bottoming out? You know, to give an idea of what SSA expects from its products before releasing them.

We will shoot plenty of vids with the final version. Since there will be enough changes that go along with the upgraded baskets, it would not serve us much to display a driver that we no longer plan to put into prodution.

Any updates?

Any updates?

At the moment, the baskets are still getting worked on. Believe me I wish it went faster, but a change in tooling takes time.

But it will be worth it in the end as the travel issues with the cone will be gone compared to the standard 12spoke 8" cone.

Any teaser pics or anything else yet?

Pix will be up as soon as we have a working proto or as soon as a production model is ready.

[audiophyle_247 2]

So are we talking more cone travel than the Epic 8"? Because isnt that the same 12 spoke basket you were initially planning to use? (or very similar)

(just a yes or no question, no specs needed)

Damn I cant wait for this woofer to come out already.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

The old prototype has the standard 12 spoke 8" basket. At the moment I cannot say on the amount of cone travel as the new basket is not in yet to have a working prototype to test the limits.

Would one of these baby's sound good off of 150rms? probably not.....but if so, i gotta get me one for my HT in the family room.

cant wait to throw out my center console to fit one =-)

The old prototype performs very well off as little as 120 watts.

You're going to want to make a new box.

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

We do not have final dimensions until a new prototype is built.

[ford302redneck 15]

How about now?

Any updates?

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

We are supposedly just waiting for the new basket to be shipped from the factory. But that could take a while, so I do not want to promise any dates.

[audiophyle_247 2]

Damn, still nada?

[Aaron Clinton 2,372]

Damn, still nada?

On it's way. It's model line mates just arrived for prototype testing.

[Tmax98 3]

how are these going?
