Nice pics! Congrats on the great score

Yep - the monster has the 12-layer now. In my vehicle on the same amps it was 0.4 dB louder than the 8-layer. I did not adjust ANY settings, just re-built and dropped it in. Keep in mind the total DCR of the 8-layer is 1.76 ohms (series) vs 2.28 ohms (series) for the 12-layer coil... so that is on LESS power too. That is a 30% increase in DCR, so you can assume roughly 30% less power - in reality probably less power than that as the 12-layer also has more inductance. So... in short, the 12-layer is much louder.

*laughs* Well the SAX-50.4 and SAZ-1000D now have an ETA of 8-10 weeks Happy now ? No ETA on the 250.2 or 2000D, though!

It looks really cool I would love to hear it too!

To page one for updates!

Indeed - IB the power handling drops in half.

Cool Didn't realize you did a video too! Thanks!

Cool

Bumping this back to page one - its too cool to not be on the first page of the forum

Both are quite powerful - they would not be good candidates for your back-pack setup if that is the idea. You should look into a full-range Class-D.

Indeed - would be a bit redundant. I do have plans for some SAE Class-D amps that will do power at 2 ohms, though.

Inside front cover of your manual has it listed.

Still working on the 2000D - economy is a bit slow and credit VERY tight in the USA so it has stalled me a bit.

Great score!

Alot. We play music on it with the four 1500s for short periods. --- Dropped it in a vehicle @ the show this past weekend in Roseboro, NC (Competition Only) and it gained vs. an RE MT -- the box was WAY too big for the beast but it was still louder by a fair bit on the same power, and continued to get louder on double the power where the MT dropped off due to power compression.

Ouch! Lots of current through those leads. Sent you an e-mail.

E-Mail is better to contact me if you want a new screw - just LMK.

Huge update to the crossovers - so much more stuff it made the amp 1.5" longer.

Those are awesome pics Hope you enjoy it!

Glad you like them!

We never found the burp limits of the 8-layer coil - it was as good as new thermally. So yah, both coils will take WAY more on a burp. We don't know the limits yet!

It has a shorter winding height - so it actually came out a bit lighter

The 12-layer is 13 grams lighter than the 8-layer but we actually added 41 grams of mass with our re-enforcements to hold the coil wrap together... despite the added mass we gained: Not too shabby

We don't have a perfect scientific method this time either - as we added some re-enforcements to try and keep the coil in one piece mechanically, this added some mass - hopefully that won't cancel out the added BL!

Driving back to the shop w/ the sub and 12-layer coil installed... still sounds good. So that is a plus! We'll meter it soon.
