Sundown 2012 Cones... At The Shop!

[sundownz Pro Seller]

One of each showed up for us to check out -- will be building a 12" up first since that is the largest one I have a full size spider for. So that means I can take a video of it tomorrow !

On to the photos... they turned out way crazier than I imagined.

I saw some folks expressing concerns over the "SD" of the cones... here are a few photos :

* 10" Z v.3 Cone // 10" Z v.4 Cone

* 12" Z v.3 Cone // 12" Z v.4 Cone

* 12" Z v.3 Cone Diameter with 1/2 Surround

* 12" Z v.4 Cone Diameter with 1/2 Surround

* Total SD difference is only 10%

* 10" Z v.3 Cone Diameter with 1/2 Surround

* 10" Z v.4 Cone Diameter with 1/2 Surround

* The 10" frame is slightly over-sized... so it's actually slightly more SD

Yeah, but what really matters is volume displaced, not necessarily cone area, which I'm sure is much higher with the extra Xmax. Do you have those figures yet?

Not sure how I feel about them yet...

Why so odd looking?

Each surround has the following calculated geometric capacity :

10 -- 50mm one-way (frame allows 45)

12 -- 55mm one-way (frame allows 50)

15 -- 60mm one-way (frame allows 55)

----

In order to allow for such high throw they must be very large.

Bottom line -- almost no surround produced anywhere else allows this level of throw so these do look "odd" compared to what is generally available.
