Still working on perfecting them... will be doing more testing soon.

What do you say is a rough estimate on box size in cubes for a single 12 when these come out? I don't have alot of room in my xB but I sure would like to put one of these suckers in there. If I don't have enough room, I might say screw it and make a wall for a single 15 or 18.

About the same size boxes as the Nightshades.

1.5 - 12

3 - 15

4-5 - 18

Totally depends on the setup... from 140 - 150 somewhere in there ;)

I have a regular Nightshade breaking 154 with four 1500s but not every setup will do that.

Will you warranty the sub with that much power? :wacky:

Nope! You can buy re-cones, though :)

so you're telling me an 8cuft box will work beautifully for two 18 NS?

wow, that's what I need for my two fi 15's to perform optimally, that makes me think...

Correct. 8-10 cubes is what people are using for two 18s and it works great.

I need a pr. of 10's like yesterday! LOL

I'm shredding spiders left and right trying to bassrace with my AQ's and 2 5k's. :lol:

Nightshade-x is not yet for sale? it will take after the summer?

Back for testing.

The motor force is lower than we anticipated so this prototype may end up as the Nightshade v.2 next year :) The motor force is dead on for that.

Made some changes to reduce moving mass compared to the Nightshade - so SPL should be improved along with power handling.

The latest built prototypes are D4 coils for testing purposes.

Testing two 3000Ds @ 1 ohm each now on one of them in my single 15" enclosure - results are very good so far :)

Will post shortly.

I am clamping power as well - I am impressed ;)

Results coming once I fire off a few more burps.

Peak score :

153.4 dB (did not clamp power this time)

Power Clamp Results :

Volume 35/50 - 148.8 dB / 1230 watts

Volume 40/50 - 152.0 dB / 2990 watts

Volume 50/50 - 153.3 dB / 4960 watts

Since adding new dampening to the floor and changing my amp rack I haven't tested for a new frequency - I am still using 53 Hz like from my dampener log. I also have not played with box position yet - with my new rack the box is farther forward than before.

So - it could probably be a little louder but I am just playing around with the prototype right now :)

I am using my Extech True Power clamp - holding the burp for ~5-6 seconds to get my reading.
