Hello

I made some very special Motors (and 2 subs) for an SPL application several years ago. All of the stock sub and motor parts were new and machined for this app. The design required a lot of extra steel and a huge shorting ring to be added to the stock motor parts so I machined several extra pieces to make 4 motors. (* the 2 I have here had extra special attention over the other 2 that have been sold, they have a little more force, though it doesn't matter because they all 4 have more force than any other motor I know of)

Here is the extra stuff that's been done to the motors:

machined a bigger diameter and longer solid low carbon pole

cut off the T and machined the backplate for a press

machined a smaller diameter steel ring to press inside the topplate gap

machined an alum core to take up the inside of the motor

machined copper rings to fit on top and bottom of the alum (*never got put in..)

added an extra .75 magnet slug

engraved the logo my bro drew on the back of the pole

used a super tweaky edge wound underhung coil in the protos

The sub and top assy are new and have never been played other than the 1 watt from Praxis for measurement. (they are Single 3ohm) The only issue at all is the Top Assy has had the dust cap dented, I pushed it back out but it should be reinforced or replaced to assure no issues.

I'll offer either the Complete 12" Sub or the Motor and Top Assy (together) for a sale or trade.

I'd like to trade for a mint condition (old style) SounDigital SD3000 or SD5000 or a CA Handgun (cash either way depending)

I'd sell for $1100

Serious Interests Only Please

I couldn't take any good pics so I just took a bunch:

A note about these motors and subs:

People seem only concerned about the power handling.

These motors were designed to run off of 500 watts each.

The coils may be able to take 3-4 times that but the design intent was to be super efficient and not need tons of power. (the 4 subs were going to run off of 2 Zapco 9.0's)

I just wanted to note that these motors were made for Max Efficiency and Not Power Handling. (tight sealed gap) It's also noticed too, because they are 4.5db more efficient than the Neo test subs I made at the same time. (and the Neo's hit above the WR at the time in 2 orgs with no testing..)

Thanks for the interest

Matt

Matt,

I hope that you don't mind me posting this pic, but the only reason why I wanted to post. Was to show ppl that my motor is no where near as nice as the one's that you kept and gave them that extra attention! Matt's motors/drivers are a lil stronger than my motor, but also miles ahead of mine in the looks department as well. Plz keep in mind that there's is now only three existing 4hpz motors as the 4th was destroyed //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif So the remaining motors are extremely rare, especially Matt's 4hpz's!!! If you consider yourself a true TC collector than these are for you as it doesn't get anymore rarer than this!

Yep, have some builds coming up, as for Chris yep he's doing big things //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif Two of those up-coming builds couldn't had happen without you helping me and for that I thank you! Hopefully these goes to someone that could appreciate them! //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Thanks for the bump with info Luis!

I didn't see this post before..

Have a good one

Matt

 
Bump

I'd be willing to trade one of these for a CA handgun or a police tazer with cash either way if there was anything available.

Please let me know and maybe we can work something out.

Thanks

Matt

 
Matt,

Sorry I think you sent me a email a little while ago and I forgot to email you back. I got it on my phone at work and forgot all about it.. I sold the subs.. But I'm here to bump your post up because people I bought two subs a couple years ago from him for HT and they were built like tanks and never had a issue. He was the best person I've ever dealt with when dealing with buying used. I would have no issue doing it again. I've been away from car audio because I drive a s2000 and well if you have seen it you should get the idea. Matt sub looks great hope you sell it for what you want .. I regret selling the 15's so much

Thanks for the bump and the kind words Wade!!

Yeah I was interested in one of those motors I sold you but will be going with the TC Pro 5100 instead. (awesome motor!!)

Thanks again and have a good one man, get another car so you can put a system in it...

Matt

 
im still eyeing these up trying to justify buying them
Cool Mike, only one is available, I'm hanging onto one of them.

If you do get serious about it, I can send you a little info about these 2 motors I have here.

Have a good one

Matt

 
free bump for a sub that can squish a kitty if you drop it.

Thanks and yeah they would squish just about anything they got dropped on...

I think I remember them weighing in at around 85 pounds or so, too darn heavy for a sub..

Willing to Trade one of these for a CA handgun or police tazer. (cash either way)

May also consider Trading for a set of High End Monitors, Bookshlef, or Small Towers. (anyone have anything B&W to offer)

Also will listen to serious cash offers, will consider local deal for the best offer

Please let me know

Matt
