Pretty excited for this line of drivers. Going to make it possible for guys without a ton of cash to get some good drivers and also make it inexpensive to do a big cone area build
How soon could these drivers actually be available? Are you shooting for these to be happy in both ported and sealed enclosures?Did some heavier abuse testing yesterday.
Ended up breaking the solder joint from the tinsel lead wires to voice coil lead at the neck joint on one side -- but did not actually break the neck joint or thermal the coil. Had it up around 550-700 watts clamped at the point of my testing before that failure occurred.
These samples have tied-on leads and actually the "floating" leads would have prevented this type of failure as it was a result of excessive forward stroke tugging the tied lead out of the hole it passed through -- and of course I was doing 550-700 free air on a 300-watt rated driver anyway so I can't say I am disappointing //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
Either way I have some Rev.2 prototypes in the works to address the high Qts and a few other minor things I want to improve. I have been spending alot of time as well making sure I can still offer them for the $60-70 range or VERY close to it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
what's the cost on the E-Series 8's?Once I get the drivers completely finalized production time is ~90 days from start to arrival here.
My goal is a mid Qts so ported or sealed.
what if there is not a dealer local to us? also will you be making a $15? if so what will the price on that be?Second round of prototypes are done at the factory; I have a 3rd round in the works as well for testing comparison purposes :
I like the standard dust cap over the inverted one personally. Liking the progress. I may end up with a set of these myself.Second round of prototypes are done at the factory; I have a 3rd round in the works as well for testing comparison purposes :
Seems like a few Sundown products have suffered the same fate recently.These little guys fell off the radar
