Sundown NEO!

I like the fact that jake's driver is more of a goal rather than just making a neo woofer... to create the most effecient neo driver possible. It's a good idea solely because it is different than the other companies.. Looks like it will be a very solid product.. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I didn't read the entire thing, but whats the ratings power wise on them going to be around?

Even if they are like $800 you can get a couple/few REALY good subs for that much money.

Yea, someone said his goal with it was to break 160 in his Jeep off of 1 15". He is doing mid 150s with 1 15" Nightshade so this could be interesting.

Very true, that's when you have to weigh your priorities //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I'm just saying there is a reason people aren't buying neo motor driven subs, and that's $$$$

i bought 2? //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/confused.gif.e820e0216602db4765798ac39d28caa9.gif

neo is very strong but can be demagnitized with fairly low heat, alnico is almost as strong as Samarium?cobalt but is brittle and strong external magnetic fields but easily demagnitize them, you have to store them carefully.. magnets have nothing to do with SQ, also alnico mags are casted so they can be expensive...

Samarium?cobalt is nearly as strong as neo with all the benfits of alnico(good heat resistance can be casted) and neo as well( excellent strengh, high demag resistance) but there costly as well..

So what? I have a $1000 ***** in my drawer. You may think it's worth it, but most people do not.

Make the sub less that 500.00 and people might buy it.

It is quite expensive to manufacture as I am making the steel in the USA entirely - machined from raw stock. Then I am having a very high quality and temperature coating done locally as well.

12 pcs of high grade neo also are not cheap at all.

I'm not trying to make this a mass market sub but I do intend for it to be one of the loudest subs available.
