Well i bought a few Nightshade v.1 motors from jacobs yardsale a week or so ago. when they arrived there were still cones in place. i checked coils and one of the subs still read good. so i decided to put some power to it. It made music but sounded horrible but seemed to work ok. I bought these to resize/recone and figured neither sub would work, but.

1) 12' blown junkyard nightshade v.1

1) box that leaks and is about 2.5 times too big for the sub. (was made for 3 sa-10s) i re-baffled it to make the show

1) sundown 3k

1) Truck that is notorious for not getting loud. My 4x sa-8s do a best of 143 on music.

I took 1st in Streetbeat 1

I slapped this together at the last minute just to enter a USACi show this weekend.

It wasnt sold as a B-stock sub. it was sold for the motor only. just happened to work a little. sounds like it had beed bottomed out real bad prior to my use. I wont tear into it untill my recones arrive to see whats wrong with it.

Very cool. Nice trophy! Any pics of the motors?

About 70 sq/inches

Hmm, large efficient internal volume and large port area = deebeez... Whoda thunk it?

Nice job Steve!

Hard to believe you would get something like that at a yard sale. ;)

i think it would have done better on 3k at a smaller volume. but yes your right.
