Mid to upper 300s on the pre-sale. MSRP is $549 on the 12" and $599 on the 15" so that sort of price wouldn't be seen again

Photo of the 12" model. T/S Specs for 12" D1 model: Qts = 0.403 Qms = 6.830 Qes = 0.428 Fs = 43 Hz (fresh without break-in) VAS = 11.65 L (fresh without break-in) Le = 1.41 mH (series) Re = 1.59 ohms Xmax = 20 mm BL = 17.58 N/A 15" model T/S are TBA. This sub is designed to be something that you can roll around with daily and hit SPL competitions with, all in the same woofer It's very daily friend but will still put up good numbers on the meter when you want it to do so. Now... they will be ready in February in 12" and 15" sizes with D1 and D2 coils. My question is this... who wants to be able to pre-order them now? If there is enough interest I will go ahead and get it started.

what type of cost are we talkin Jacob if you dont feel like postin it up email or call me E-Mail me for Team cost.

Yes.

Production has began... They will be available as follows around February: 12" Sizes in D1 and D2 15" Sizes in D1 and D2 18" and 10" sizes will come later one. I will start a pre-order around January... unless people wanted to pre-order them now (don't mind the wait), I could go ahead and open it if enough request was present.

Very little... about 0.04 ft^3

Set your HU LPF to the same, 80 Hz. 80 Hz is about 1/2 way up on the 1000D, it's a very popular setting. If you don't like the sound back it down about 1/8th turn

1000D: 1) It doesn't matter which way you do it, either way works the same. They are in parallel inside the amp. 2) Just nudge up the filter about 1/4 turn, that'll do it for ya. 3) Rarely will you need the phase, don't change it at all. 4) Yes, the far left set -- the other two are for strapping only. Left and Right do not matter. 100.4: 1) That will work fine. 2) Yes. 3) Yes, for your install. 4) Set the HPF on CH 1+2 to 1/4 turn up for the 5.25" set and on CH 3+4 to 50 Hz (all the way down). 5) Leave the range at x1 6) Yes, leave them alone. 7) Yes. 8) Turn these 1/3 way up for your install. It will give you a steeper HPF slope.

70 - 100 watts will still generate heat in any woofer. Less than 1% of the input energy moves the speaker cone in a typical subwoofer. Ever touched a 100-watt light bulb? It's VERY hot... and thats with a huge air gap and glass in between your finger and the filament. The woofer coil is much closer and directly physically connected to the dust cap, it will get hot without a tremendous amount of power given enough time.

Just a few more days

1) Yes, you can tune them to 28 Hz -- use the larger end of the spectrum at 1.25 ft^3 each. That gives a very good response. 2) Use 25 - 30 in^2 of area. At 25 in^2 that is 30" long, at 30 in^2 that is 36.5" long for your 28 Hz tuning.

u mean my remote going to my amp?if so ill check.u ever known of someone haven that kind of problem w alpines? Maybe I understood you wrong, the amp shuts off or the radio? If the radio... then thats different. I would check your radio wiring, sounds to me like a wire is loose and is intermittently losing connection. Probably the main power or ground to the radio. I have not heard of a particular problem with Alpine head units doing anything like that, no.

I sell several types of amps on the forum: 1) Used -- Either traded in from the Team or a friend, or I may have had it on display at a show or used it myself. For whatever reason I sometimes end up with an amp that has been used at one point. These are usually sold with a 1-year warranty. 2) B-Stock -- These amps have cosmetic damage from the factory, otherwise they are brand new. These are usually sold with a 1-year warranty. 3) Refurbished -- Usually returned from a customer for warranty work, I almost always send a brand new replacement to the customer. The refurbished amp is the "old amp" from the customer after it has been repaired and fully tested. These are usually sold with a 90-day warranty. Reliability has been fine on the refurbished. I have them repaired by a very good technician, he tests his work, then I test it again after him.

Cut out is 9 1/8"

Maybe your remote lead is loose somewhere ?

Lots of things sold. Will update the list with a few b-stock items in the next few days.

Oh... you are talking about running "tri-mode" on each set of channels eh ? If so... then you won't be able to use the crossovers on the amp without have weird response from the coaxials. Rarely someone would want to do this to run speakers and a woofer from the amp... but it requires passives to be effective.

If your front components have passive crossovers thats fine.

You can run 16v daily but you need a separate 12v system -- this means one 12v alternator and another 16v alternator.

Everyone loves re-cones... can I guess who Brand X is? *laughs*

Cool!

Yah, the Esoteric work well and look pretty I use all kinds of cheapy Scosche and generic RCAs in my SPL truck, they work great.

Still a good bit off... that still wasn't quite what I wanted out of it. Better cooling and suspension will happen before production.

Several prototype and re-built subwoofers added

no. you cannot possibly state that with the info given. the spl 12 is a potent driver. I'm sure the nightshade will be very nice as well, but it will be install dependant. bottom line- there isn't near enough info to state anything of that nature, just yet. Sorry, I should have clarified, I meant in size and beefiness of the sub, not in numbers necessarily. Either way I am sure it will give either of those 2 a run for their money and adds another option to Fi, DD, RE, Mach 5, Audioque and Treo for an awesome SPL sub. Indeed, it is quite beefy. Measurement wize I think it is larger than any of those with triple 1" x 9" slugs. Size isn't everything as I did not over-motor the sub. It is made to be listenable with acceptable box response daily, since I realize not everyone competes in SPL, so every tenth of SPL output was not the prime target -- it has a 0.40 Qts and an Fs of 38-40 Hz after break-in time on the 12" model. It should do quite well on the meter still, though, the motor is as strong as many competitive subs that I have measured like the DD 9500F and the BTL.
