Sundown X-10 / X-15 / X-18 Prototypes Here

Just got them in and QC tested them all on the bench; very happy so far. Still need to get them fully charged then run preliminary specs (have to send them out to do so as our magnetizer isn't in yet) -- but we are still stiffening up the surrounds so those will only be ~80% accurate initially.

This is also the first look at our tooled 18" spider adapter piece !

On to the photos (video of the 18" is uploading) :

Looks great!! That 18" spider layout looks strong.

Can't wait to see some final prices and get a couple 12's!

Your new lines look insane, lol.

Any idea where pricing will end up?

In for prices

Sundown X-18 Prototype First Look - YouTube

First video of the X-18 up.

I've noticed some confusion about these testing videos; all of the drivers we test exhibit a similar sound at very high travel -- bit of a "whopping" sound is the best way to describe it. It's a combination of BL distortion (as we always push drivers well past linearity) , some mechanical (as drivers are a little noisy at high throw when not in boxes) , and also the camera mic itself doesn't do so well when that close to a driver creating that amplitude of sound.

This is what I am coming up with on pricing for these drivers :

X-10 : $329
X-12 : $349
X-15 : $389
X-18 : $409

This is MAP from any authorized dealers (which is a shipped price). We will also have pre-order specials as these are launched; they may not launch all at once for reference. The pre-order price is TBA but will follow suit roughly at the same type of % discount as past pre-orders.

It is based entirely on their cost to build and I have not figured in a single cent for the money spent on the new tooling or patent fees.

I want the 15 if it will be better than my 15" HDC3........haha silly thing to say

I can't express in words how bad I want these RIGHT MEOW!

Ok don't flame me here but is the X line better than the Z line?

I am loving the new Z V4 15"...

the z line is above the x line. these are 1krms iirc and the z is 1750.
