New company, after I finish my tests make sure no changes are needed and give it the thumbs up, They will start the production run.

id like to see how my "ssackett built" Madmax hybrid would do. 4 inch coil secks with a stupidly large motor for the win!

These tests always turn out the same.....meaningless.

Yes, reason why I said MAINLY for myself.

I'd like to see HDC315 vs. DD 9515 on the same power.

x4, i can't make up my mind on the hdc yet

Nice test, but seeing how they are not all being used on the same power, or the same frequency makes it kind of inconclusive. But I would also be in to seeing you testing the sa15.

Reason they arent at the same power is because my amps havent showed up. Some subs are D2 and others are D1. Once my 2 Cactus K12 amps show up I plan on testing 1000rms, 1500rms, 2000rms, 2500rms, 3000rms and etc....until each sub reaches its limit.

As for for the diff freq, its all the same box...thats just the change of each sub.

Alright sounds good, do you have any plans on testing a DC lvl 4 15"?

Indeed... as David said these tests are for his application. I have seen subs perform so wildly differently it's pretty interesting... some setups like really soft spiders (mine) and hard spiders ****... I've had a few I've dealt with recently that thrive with really stiff spiders -- in my box the stiffer would be 2 dB down but in their box the loose spider is about the same down. Quite interesting.

I've actually had SA-12s spank the Nightshades hands down in one of my boxes... again, NS spider was way too stiff for that box. It took 2x the power on the NS to do the same score. I don't think anyone would say the SA-12 is a hands down louder sub than the NS, though //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

If you have a setup very similar to David's it would be a good reference -- otherwise it may or may not have anything to do w/ your setup.

forgot about the sundown compared to the hdc. i have to look at the specs between the 2.
