1.2 cubes IMO

We are almost out of them... FYI. There will be a period of out of stock on them as well -- the popularity was really pretty overwhelming.

No, it is not. We do not do woofer trades.

I would not run them together. Air space requirement is the same but the motors are alot different.

3-4

Nice

No, they are not.

Nicely done video too

Box size has alot to do with mechanical power handling. If you are going to be pushing your woofer beyond it's rated RMS power you need to be very mindful of this fact and put the woofer in no larger than the minimum suggested enclosure for music program. We design our woofers for very small enclosures and power ratings are there for a reason -- you can continue to push a driver like the SA-8 beyond RMS power and it will not be stressed whatsoever thermally by the time you can cause mechanical issues. The motor, especially on the SA-8, is VERY strong -- being an 8" driver there is limited mechanical throw available. The driver retains high motor force all the way up to the point where you can start breaking it. In any event... based on my testing so far you can expect something like the following on mechanical power handling vs. ported box size on the SA-8 : 1.25 cubic feet = 300 watts 1.00 cubic feet = 400 watts 0.80 cubic feet = ~450-500 watts 0.60 cubic feet = ~500-600 watts You may ALSO need a subsonic filter depending on box tuning. The rated RMS power is 400 watts RMS -- if you push past that you are voiding warranty coverage. We are bringing in re-cone parts and they can be fixed, though, for those of you who like to push things. If you have any doubts about your ability to monitor your listening habits just stick to the 0.60 recommendation. To re-iterate... they are not fragile. I have ton ALOT of testing on them with enormous amounts of power -- the above considers full bandwidth music program that can drop to very low frequencies and is a safe suggestion. If you are an SPL competitor then you probably already know this and these suggestions don't really apply for burps @ tuning. We have put in excess of 600% of RMS power on them for SPL burps.

I wouldn't say there is an average. Depends on how busy we are. Right now we have ALOT of woofers to build.

I don't have any word on production yet. Still in testing phase.

Yah, D2 and D4 are both available.

145.5 @ 35 hz with that box on burp with 860 clamped watts of power. Will do right at 145 on music constantly.

There is my four. Paul came down and fixed my Jeep

I think I have seen one from on in my stack somewhere. Haven't read it yet.

popwarhomie, Glad that you got the phase issue worked out -- it can really be frustrating !

Always glad to help a customer

It was the 4500D prototype.

Any tech experienced with Class-D amps can likely figure it out.

One Z15 D2 is left new... may have a few used if you want me to check.

Love that song... "And then What" -- the intro stomps are super low - thank you subsonic filter Had the 2500D prototype on my four and that was the only thing that could get them to exceed mechanical limits.

Looks awesome Eastman !

We put them in a vehicle and I have a clamp that reads out RMS power on a load... then we calculate the load by measuring voltage. As for abuse testing... same deal, put them in cars, do lots of testing to make sure nothing breaks.

They do get a little louder after a bit of break-in time on them too.

It is not.
