Posted August 8, 201114 yr 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.11) 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 show1) sundown 3k1) Truck that is notorious for not getting loud. My 4x sa-8s do a best of 143 on music.I took 1st in Streetbeat 1I slapped this together at the last minute just to enter a USACi show this weekend.
