I'm waiting to hear that... hope so as they are about to close up for 3 weeks for CNY.

I would not be surprised to see them sell out again... so if you want one make sure to get the order in as soon as you can.

PRE-SALE ORDERS ARE FINAL - THERE WILL BE NO REFUNDS -- If you are not 100% sure you will be financially stable then don't pre-order. THESE WILL NOT BE IN UNTIL AROUND the end of April to early May. DO NOT pre-order if you are in a rush or on a dead-line -- as always there can be delays with pre-orders. Just want that to be clear. --- PRICING: $1200 each SHIPPED in the continental USA TO ORDER - Paypal me @ [email protected] Regular price is $1549 MAP / $2149 MSRP. --- Rated Power : 4500 x 1 @ 1 ohm 2000 x 1 @ 2 ohms 900 x 1 @ 4 ohms TEST RESULTS: 3100 Watts @ 1 ohm nominal rising to 2.67 ohms on 14.4v dropping to 13.6 volts 4650 Wats @ 0.25 ohm nominal rising to 0.71 ohms on 14.4v dropping to 11.6 volts You will get more with a beefier electrical setup. 5290 Watts @ 1 ohm nominal rising to 2.12 ohms on 17.9 volts (did not measure drop) 6930 Watts @ 0.5 ohm nominal rising to 1.31 ohms on 17.9 volts (did not measure drop) ---

16.0 (sixteen point zero) volts and no more -- so no, you cannot run them on a 16v system.

I think it's working now, although, I haven't answered many this weekend.

I'm hoping to have them back in stock in April at some point... been focusing my attention on the Z v.2, NS v.2, and smaller amp lines at the moment.

In the mean time I am copying and pasting EVERY email I sent all day (ALOT) into Hotmail and resending... my apology if I send any of them twice!

Every message I sent today was rejected by my server... just got all of the errors all at once at the end of the day. Something is up and they seem to think I sent over 100 e-mails in one hour... so until I can figure out what is going on it may take me longer than normal to reply. I can still RECEIVE emails no problem, though, so you can still send me a message... but this problem seems to have made email not work on my Blackberry as well and I have to log into my Hotmail to send any messages... so response time will be up. Sorry guys... working with the hosting company on this.

Email me a copy of all that Derrick - so I can print it out.

Oh yah... D1 coils just arrived. So we can build 12s, 15s, and 18s now in D1 or D2. 10" frames are not in yet.

The NS v.2 will have a lower Fs in most cases with stock suspension vs. the Z v.2 -- this is because the NS v.2 uses the "Nightshade cone" and also a much heavier voice coil. The extra mass decreases the Fs. Lower Fs typically gives you more low-end output. I can simply reduce spider stiffness on the Z v.2 to gain a low Fs as well -- but your sacrifice mechanical power handling. In my option, though, the Italian market with like the NS v.2 the most -- you guys like to put BIG power on speakers

Just a HAIR less than the NS v.1 -- you can assume it is the same for most purposes.

12, 15, and 18 models with Dual-2 are available now. 10" models and D1 are not yet.

The advantage of the Nightshade v.2 is MUCH more power handling long-term... voice coil is almost 50% longer than the Z v.2 and is double the layers of wire. Both can be used equally well for daily systems and for SPL systems -- they will also both play very low if the box is tuned properly. Example - NS v.1 playing almost 150 dB @ 35 hz :

The Nightshade cone should only be used for the following : 1) To lower the driver Fs as it is 70 grams heavier 2) For applications where you might break the Z v.2 cone -- small CRX style tube enclosures would be one example The Nightshade spiders should only be used if you know why you want them... many folks changing over from the old NS v.1 may want them so that the suspension characteristics match their enclosure testing data. For 90% of people the regular configuration with the standard Z v.2 cones, single leads, and either 2 or 3 spiders is perfect.

More spiders would only be necessary for a very large enclosure or for STUPID amounts of burp power... I've put 7200 watt burps on the 2 spider configuration @ 53 Hz. I only offer it because some folks DEMAND more spiders. Double leads quite naturally handle more current... if you have an amp @ 1/2 ohm you will want them - or if you are burping 4000+ watts or so.

You can order from an online dealer if you like. If you DO NOT have a local dealer you could also order from me. Contact me and I will see if you have a local dealer.

Had alot of requests for pricing so here it is. Standard (you can pick 2 or 3 spiders): 10" - $415 / MSRP - $535 12" - $425 / MSRP - $550 15" - $440 / MSRP - $570 18" - $480 / MSRP - $620 OPTIONS: Double tinsel leads* - Add $10 Nightshade Cone** - Add $10 Nightshade Spiders (you can pick 2 or 3)*** - Add $20 Additional spiders (more than 3)**** - Add $5 each * - If you will be running an amp at 0.5 ohm or more than 2000 watts or so I suggest this. Generally speaking you will not need it if you are not an SPL competitor putting large amounts of burp power to the driver - but it is there if you want it. If you don't need them I suggest not getting them as they can chatter a bit at low volumes since they are two separate leads - probably won't hear this at all in a box listening to music, though. They are primarily designed for SPL competitors that need the extra current capacity! ** - The 18" uses the Nightshade cone, this is standard. This option is available on 10s, 12s, and 15s. Only SPL competitors will need the Nightshade cone - and even then only for VERY high power. *** - The Nightshade spider is totally different. If you do not know why you would want them then you don't need them. **** - I do not suggest using more than three. But if you must have them they are available.

Yes, you can thank Hank for saving about half the motors from certain destruction !

My scale is broken (too many heavy subs on it I suppose)... but around 20 lbs or so.

ORDERING NOW OPEN ! My ETA for these is mid to late May 2010. There are NO refunds on pre-orders whatsoever -- so please make sure you can afford to be without this money until they arrive before ordering. TO ORDER PAYPAL ME AT [email protected] AND SPECIFY HOW MANY and D2 or D4 coils !!! If you order before the end of February the price will be as follows : 1x SA-10 = $150 2x SA-10 = $140 each 4x or more SA-10 = $130 each Shipped in continental 48 states cost. If you order after February until the pre-order is over the price will be as follows : 1x SA-10 = $160 2x SA-10 = $150 each 4x or more SA-10 = $140 each Shipped in continental 48 states cost. All shipping is handled by FedEx or UPS ground -- shipping to HI or AK add $40 each woofer. Pre-sale in USA only. SPECS ON D4 Model : FS : 31.6 Hz Qts : 0.45 Qes : 0.49 Qms : 5.64 VAS : 21.9 L Mms : 187.4 g Mounting depth = 6" Cut out is 9 3/16" 10 3/8" OD with gasket

I'm sure we can track down some used if someone really needed matching amps -- I get inquiries about the 3000s alot still and usually have used ones around.

If the picture was broken before for you it should work now... had to change it from CMKY to RGB for Internet Explorer to read it.

It looks VERY overbuilt. Will you be mounting the MOSFETs diagonally for this model? They will lay flat just like my other amps.

Rating will be 500-600 @ 4
