They are in production.

9x SA-12 D4 B-Stocks - $125 + SH Each * Ranging from dust caps with a flat spot on top to specs of glue on the cone / surround * 1-year warranty included 7x SA-12 D2 B-Stocks - $125 + SH Each * Ranging from dust caps with a flat spot on top to specs of glue on the cone / surround * 1-year warranty included Added

I am working on them now, though, going to get through as many as I can before lunch then I'll have to get on some other things -- but I hope to be back on track this week

Lots of things going on around here have resulted in an e-mail backlog again. Started around the 14th of January -- some e-mails scattered around from then until now need responding. So if you are waiting thanks for the patience and I'll catch up as soon as I can.

There is no issue mixing them together. The ring does increase thermal power handling a bit but it's not something that is going to create a problem for you.

Hey kids, be nice Sean - You and Emmanuel can duke it out if he makes it out here this summer

My thoughts exactly

You don't need more than 4k for the pair to sound great. Two 18s should be louder assuming both setups are optimized.

For burp applications they are pretty similar -- the NS v.2 peaks even lower, though, and handles more power. The main reason to get the NS v.2 over Z v.2 is higher daily power handling and a bit more low-end at maximum levels (more linear x-max).

Indeed -- they have stock on nearly everything we sell. They got a few hundred SA series last time around -- they still have the 15 D4s in stock where we are sold out.

Good stuff.

There are more reviews and posts -- but I can't find them all

The SA line isn't going anywhere -- we do continuously improve them, though.

One of the few SQ reviews we have is on the 12" but he compares it favorably to many excellent SQ type drivers : http://www.diymobileaudio.com/forum/member-product-reviews/61735-sundown-sa-12-review.html

There simply isn't a noise coming from the unit you sent back to us that would be audible when in a box especially in a trunk. Now... my question is this -- have you gotten the other driver in the box at all ? I am assuming not due to the fitment issue. Is this correct ? If this is the case I suggest taking a dremel to the area touching the motor so that the driver slides in and if it is contacting that surface place an insulator like rubber or foam on that spot. If the magnet was touching your enclosure this could very easily create a rattling sound. Also... if the tight fit prevented the driver from fully sealing against the enclosure a leak around the driver can make some VERY nasty sounds. As we have discussed the unit we have here that is supposed to be making the same rattling sound tests perfect -- the same as the other couple 1000 SA drivers out there. They simply don't make an audible rattle that can be heard when mounted in an enclosure.

Any rattling sound heard with the sub in the box is definitely not the air swooshing sound -- that is not audible over bass in an enclosure. If it was I am confident I would have heard about it by now or noticed it in my own testing. I am pretty confident any rattling sound in the enclosure is related to the enclosure touching the magnet or perhaps enclosure flexing. The air sound is not a rattle sound, it is distinctly air movement. In my video we have a 2500-watt amp at ~75% maximum levels to produce even a fair amount mechanical noise from the driver -- with any other driver in this class what you would hear is the driver falling apart in that video.

I don't have a firm date at the moment. Lots of other projects too priority to them.

The replaced SA-10 was the version with no magnet boot which the back and top plates are about 5mm wider -- we shrunk them slightly to give the boot a place to lock on to. As for the rattle we believe it was due to the back plate touching the inside of the enclosure.

I believe we have it solved.

I hope we can figure out what is going on as I am fairly baffled on both counts.
