    Don't have one yet... depends on how the new prototype checks out and various other factors. I will say they are likely to be around by late this year to early next year, though.

    The 100.2 would do around 60 - 70 watts @ 8 ohms per channel. Pretty close to your goal anyway At the moment bridging the SAX-100.4 would be your best bet -- I've got a refurbished unit on e-bay right now and my auctions for used, b-stock, and refurbished items have been ending at insultingly low prices lately, so maybe look into that.
  3. Just now had time to watch Looks nasty!

    The crossover will not be the same being that it is an SAE model, I will likely make a smaller SAX 4-channel at a later date. I am getting a revised prototype, but I did have pics of the old proto up here: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=7530
  5. All I can say is "eventually" -- I've got too much going on to even start on something like this yet.
  6. I absolutely love the DLS Iridium IR3... I had my driver side unit way off-axis in my previous car (BMW 325i) in the factory mounting location. With a bit of EQ work on that side (thanks to the 3Sixty.2) it worked wonderfully... actually sounded quite good, IMHO, even before the EQ work
  7. Rich had to re-do his whole trunk, but I believe he got to 149.5 before he did. As for the 12" Nightshade proto, it was wrecked in transit and I've been waiting on a coil since!
  8. *squints* I can't read them!
  9. Very nice
  10. *laughs* Indeed... it will be Dual-2 as well for the time being. If demand is present I am sure that Nick will investigate other options.
  11. MSRP should be 200 - 250 dollars for these. ---- Mike, Indeed, I work around 14 hours a day doing something or other related to Sundown. It's 10:15 on Sunday and I'm on my company forum So time has indeed been limited. As for the Nightshade, there a little on my forum that talks a little about it but I haven't said much at all since it will likely be undergoing several more revisions: http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=7901 http://www.soundsolutionsaudio.com/forum/i...?showtopic=7809 ---- theabunai, I am hoping to have revised protos very soon. I have had a tremendous wait on the coil... apparently it has been difficult to nail down for my parts source. Depending on many things, not the least of which being test results I hope to have them ready in the early part of 2008 in at least one size, with more sizes to follow (10, 12, 15, and 18 will be made eventually).
  12. I'll ask them about boots for production... almost forgot that some people like those Good call.
  13. The Nightshade is designed to actually be listenable. It's not an SQ woofer, but it won't sound like a fart cannon.
  14. Call it the Surfboard and cram a 100.4 a 250.2 and a 3000d in the same chassis. Charge about $4.5k and send me the first one at half price for coming up with the idea. *laughs* That would be pretty awesome... it would be wider than most cars... around 57 - 64" or so.
  15. The Nightshade would without a problem, but those are not even expected (optimistically) until a few months into 2008. In fact... the Nightshade will likely take a 3000D on a one to one basis daily... and two 3000Ds for SPL comp purposes. This is all pending further testing... but the proto had very little power compression at 7,000 watts on burps. Due to the proto spiders being too soft we blew a coil at 10,000 watts on a burp (coil rocked, nicked the coil on the top plate, and burnt a winding in three places). The next proto will be getting two more spiders for a total of eight... and all of them will be stiffer.
  16. No, these are photos of the first revision of a prototype for these
  17. LMAO... well it might, considering it is accompanied by a sudden tremendous and non-linear increase in x-max.
  18. I'm really not pleased with the pictured protos so I may not let them out for sale... they have issues at high x-max, which is why I am totally revising the motor internals. If you plan to run relatively low power I might sell you the 12" proto... it's good up to about 600 RMS in an appropriate sized box -- but if pushed too hard it will make a "clanking" sound.
  19. That is one crazy looking BL curve... 40mm of x-max is massive, but that BL curve is crazy. One of my customers has two of those on an SAZ-1500D @ 2 ohms... he liked it. They are single 4 ohm only, I believe, and he didn't want to run two amps... but he is satisfied IMHO, that would make a good IB sub like npdang said. Higher Q, and LOTS of throw.
  20. http://www.performance-pcs.com/catalog/ind...x&cPath=110 How about computer fan wire grilles? Bend the legs in a bit to raise them up to clear the surround (they are already raised a little bit). 80mm = 3.14" 92mm = 3.62"
  21. It's a bug of sorts... it has happened to me twice No big deal, easy fix!
  22. Thanks I'm hoping that I can get them made soon! As long as testing of the revised prototypes goes well I should be able to. I won't have any 15s at first, so I guess we can't test em' in your wall. Of course, these aren't made to be the best subs on the meter, that is what the Nightshade will be for!
  23. Interested in a MASS clone? Jacob is working on making one available. Indeed. Likely not a permanent product but I will be offering a warranty on it like all of my stuff so I'll have spares and parts on hand when people need service. I've been talking about it on DIY Mobile Audio a bit.
  24. You act like you plan on tearing some up *laughs* Yes, I'm working on getting parts with them as well.
  25. *laughs* Hopefully soon Steve... my next protos are due in a few weeks. I'm being difficult so it is taking a while to meet my specs. Hopefully they turn out nicely and I can start production in the near future.
