Sunfire 8"

[ciaonzo 5,000+ posts]

With all the buzz about high powered 8" subs lately, I figured you guys might appreciate some pics of this one. I bought it to play around with and I was pretty impressed. I threw well over a kilowatt to it, free-air with sine waves, and the coil did not complain one bit. Well over two inches of stroke with a bit more noise than I like to hear from my drivers but this has multiple spiders so it's what I expected. It was pretty fun until I bumped the knob on my signal generator and caused a bit of over-excursion. Tore the foam surround a bit but it still pounds. I'll probably grab an E8 cone with the high roll surround and get it up an going again. If not, I'll just throw it an a bandpass so the noisy surround can't be heard.

Pictures in the next post.

I've heard a couple times that it's 1500 RMS but I'm unsure. It didn't choke a bit with 1K.

Very nice little beast....looks beefier than the new SA-8!

Edit: How much they go for?

The Vas is ridiculously small on these and the Qts is very low as well. It wants to see the tiniest vented enclosure possible which is why they use them with passive radiators. Literally, just big enough to house the driver. Requires the power though.

Impulse buy on eBay. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif Pretty tough to find, especially new.

Haha, it has a torn surround. Might not be the best deal for you. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/biggrin.gif.d71a5d36fcbab170f2364c9f2e3946cb.gif
