Our new FedEx rep was a good sport and got a short demo. 12x Obsidian Audio 12s 2x SAZ-4500Ds on 16v @ 1.33 ohms We forgot to have the low-tuned loading wall in -- so hair movement not as good as it could be but our rep enjoyed it !

We put a set in a customers car today and they are stupid loud... awesome mid-bass output as well; I was actually pretty stunned by how much they were putting out. We have about 200 RMS rated per side on them and 200 RMS rated on a set of Selenium ST-350 tweeters; two bridged (8 ohms bridged per pair of channels) 4-channel full-range Class-D prototype amps (no ETA, no price, don't ask, *laughs*).

Power is not necessarily identical between them -- specific power wasn't a concern. It's near-field really close to the cone, though, for reference. There was no baffle for the test.

Depends on when I start production (Neo Costs) on price -- the bad news is they won't be cheaper than the 8s or 10s unless Neo falls before I start production. Cost is way up and we'll have to re-price the 8s and 10s for the second run (good news on those is I got a TON of them when Neo was cheaper so that will be a while). They are 100 RMS like the 8s.

The 6.5" is NOT yet available... just testing the sample. Very smooth measured response on these... can cross as high as 4-5k for tweeters that don't like much mid-range output. Measured open baffle -- in a baffle low-end would increase on all of them but you can see the trend as the very deepest bottom end increases as you go up in size and the top-end increases as you go down in size.

Plenty.

Production should be wrapping up August 25th so by the time containers are loaded and they arrive to my door we are looking at the third or fourth week of September to arrive here (last container took ~30 days from sailing to arrive at our shop) -- so all is looking good.

I shipped some 10s for California for SSA last Friday; I imagine they could be yours.

As mentioned in the for sale all I could recall was high Qts on it -- we had good luck out of it in about 1 cube sealed despite what a box model program says that will do Nick Lemons (Stereo Integrity) borrowed it for a while and reported that it was an enjoyable listen.

Orders ship in a few business days. By big order we mean the SA-8 pre-orders; of which there were a few 100 pieces to test and ship out. There are not 100 people in the shipping and testing departments; only so many boxes can be pulled, tested, and labelled in the same day. Your order will ship out shortly (eg: today).

Yes.

All SA-8 pre-orders have shipped.

4500s are going fast.

D2 is together... specs are closing in on where I want to be -- based on what I got from this D2 I think the D1 coil should be correct out of the gate and that the D2 will be good with a tad bit of tweaking : D2 Revision 1 Coil Specs with 5-layer Z v.3 spider (Z v.3 uses 4 layers) : RE : 2.93 ohms (series) FS: 36.87 Hz QES: 0.329 QMS: 4.326 QTS: 0.306 LE: 6.53 mH (still a bit high but we'll work on the shorting rings on another prototype to get this down) VAS: 43.24 L BL: 28.128 NA MMS: 383 g CMS: 48.56 uM/N SENS: 89.93 dB 1w/1m BL^2/RE: 270 (goal is 300 or so for this driver... revised coil should do it) I'll do some beating on it soon... have tons of SA-8s to ship... took a short break to pull specs and post them.

It really is that thick.

The D2 coils are in ! 12-layers of fury

Posted by Greg Kashin over on CACO Originally : ---------- Just got back from the IASCA\RASCA national finals...12 hour ride back, it's 4 am here...not gonna say much, watch the vid...wait for the complete buildlog which will come later this week this is the first 160db's for Team Sundown Russia. Advanced NW. single 18" woofer - Sundown Nightshade v2 18" two NS-1 amps strapped to 0.5 XS Power batteries Shok Industries wires this is also the new national record for the class we clamped 20k+ from the amps ----- another shot.... let's you see the inside at the end ---------- My Comments : NOTE : 20k from the pair of amps... small 16v bank; the drop was into the 13s IIRC. Nightshade v.2 is taking it pretty well too

I'm sure that would be possible.

I hate spades as well -- but the push terminals are super close to the mounting lip, seem to get damaged easily, and also are much harder to bend down than the other sizes (may cause production issue).

Once I get them made we'll have plenty; we haven't ran out of the 8s or 10s yet Just a matter of time on them.
