SPL Testing in Sean's CRX -- Kick panel score @ 67 Hz. That was the most we could get -- the SA-8 has done 150.8 dB so far so this is a dB down from that. Not too bad from the little guy!

Haha, I know -- beer + speaker testing. We'll get a better video when I'm done.

I'm not done testing yet ! So the video is not ready yet. I will be doing more next week.

These are ALOT stiffer than your old 15s Hope it all works out well !

First we made a REALLY small ported box... but the tuning was too high and extended the port messed up the phase relationship... Not much better than the single woofer at it's best so we quit on this box. So... we modified one of my dual 8" woofer boxes to hold two 12s -- about 75% larger than the first : I forgot to take pictures yesterday... the port did have a flare on the end. MUCH shorter port. This is what we got :

We broke 148 with two last night... will post pictures later whenever I go back to the shop. Will keep working on the 150.

I got hit hard with a huge increase in demand on these... I guess word got around finally

Pics of the loudest box position (we tried like 20 ways) and the score : Video Uploading now...

Hey guys, Seems like everything is selling out this month -- that happens when sales climb WAY faster than expected I suppose SA-12 stock is low but I have TWO production runs on order back to back. I easily sold 2-3x more than I predicted of these -- so thanks to all of the new and existing Sundown customers who are supporting our new SA line woofers. We are growing really fast this year so I apologize for the low stock / out of stock at this time -- I am working to get inventory lined out for the updated demand, though!

I haven't built any 12s "stock" yet -- I have two that are pretty close I'm finishing tonight... they are stock except for using NS cones. I'll post specs for them when glue is dry.

Thanks guys for all the support -- this month has been the best in our history for sales. I appreciate all the continued business and support ! To celebrate I may put some things on sale for March

2500 watts total is the plan Was able to do 150 dB with two 8s and 3400 watts so I think it's not going to be an issue.

Yes -- both good and bad... I like to respond quickly and when I get this busy I can't. Some emails are going a week unanswered.

I'm still not done... what is your email ?

Yes, they do.

Nick @ SI is a friend of mine -- if you are wondering why I am testing his products. We have a little bet going... I plan to do a 150 with a pair of these and he doesn't believe me... YET.

Off Topic -- but it's my section Random pre-fab sealed box screwed down on top of my SPL box creating a 4th order band-pass *laughs* First Try : Second Try : Adding some duct tape as it was leaking air BAD: Little bit of power on tap : First score with duct tape added : Last burst and best score : ---- For those that don't know... this is a BM MKIII - it is a 3.5" deep SQ Woofer : We got 136.3 from it in the regular sealed box by itself. SPL figures taken sealed at the dash dB Drag style ----- Little more about the woofer : 10" diameter nomex spider (yes 10" spider) 2.5" coil on aluminum former with spiral cut 8-layer copper round wire (true 8 layer) Multi-Magnet Neo Radial Motor XBL^2 gap topology Shorting ring for further inductance reduction 14mm linear x-max one way, Klippel tested Designed as a reference quality SQ driver that happens to be shallow -- not just a shallow driver that happens to sound good. I just thought it would be fun to see what this little guy could do -- expect more testing soon!

Does it still work or not ?

I saw that one but haven't really read it yet.

Paul does high 150s... 156-157s usually.

Bump -- I have about a 100 message back-log... working on it this week as fast as I can!

Dual-4 will have a bit higher Qts and Fs with a little lower motor force -- due to the skinnier wire. But, overall, specs will be quite similar to what is posted here.

We are looking at $75 or so pre-sale cost -- so a bit more than the E8 v.1 and less than the SA-8 When I'm ready to open ordering I'll make a post. I still need to nail down the Dual-4 version.

Hey guys, I am sold out of new 3500s... and as of today all of the used ones are sold out. People that are *already* talking to me about them are good to go -- I am counting those as sold. If you would like to pre-order one from our next production run of new amps feel free to hit me up. Otherwise there are none available at the moment.
