Fun with Sundown E8s

What do you get when you play a 20hz tone on a Sundown E8 free air at 500 watts for 5 minutes?....

The coil actually still plays... The suspension is shot though haha. These things are amazing. They are extremely efficient and can take a beating. Most woofers would completely melt down thermally fom this abuse (with more power depending on the size of the woofer). The coils in these will keep playing after the other soft parts literally shred to pieces.

 
lol...you got too many of these laying around huh? You can always send me some for free if you need the space //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

i have a ton that need to have the old soft parts removed still... Just trying to come up with more fun ways to do so.

 
Impressive drivers, I wish I could order mine now //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

At least I know not to feed them that much power lol.

 
Well, why doesnt sundown make a beefed up suspension longer throw design, so it will take moar power?!
Well if you jump up to a nightshade you can have all of that //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif

Because these are $99 full MSRP //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Most of the people that want them also care about shallow depth - 4.25" on this guy. It has as much throw as you can manage in that depth without using a short coil design like XBL^2 or under-hung which would both decrease thermal capacity and increase the price.

We'll probably make a bigger 8 later - but there are many other things to come first.
