Z15 did pretty well - nice testing all in all //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

I like the way it is set up.

I had an idea... maybe I'll send in a Nightshade v.2 Prototype.

I feel like the current model is well established and has plenty of reviews but this one isn't out yet //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Hit me up and let me know what you think Matt.

Z15 impressed me, how much are they? and how much power would they handle for daily?

They are $499 MSRP / $359 MAP

We rated them 1000 RMS and they do great at that power level - some customers run a bit more on them.

Now what happens too the subs from here? Do you just get to keep them. You should give one to me.

I still have tons of testing, after I finish all testing subs are being returned to the appropriate manufacturer

which woofers sound best? also your going to have to be way more detailed than that. list the box tune score.. also a SQ raiting say 1 to 100?? that would be cool as well incase someone is looking for a more sql orentined woofer. im interested to know how the tss fair sq wise.. not the alpha max can take about the same power as the hw step up to a 3kw bracket..

that was just a sample of the data I am slowly collecting I will have tons more soon, btw I planned to do the SQ thing but people need to understand its all opinionated I mean Its just going off of what I feel sounds the best, I have had several other people listen at shows and what not so maybe they can help as well.

any cliff notes on the pages with results?

looks pretty good

the sonance starts to spike for spl purpose when you go over 50hz

The Alpha MAX really surprised me, the one sent in is the daily version with a 67mm tall coil it sounds better but is less SPL than our 52mm setup it is down .8 to 1.2 db in our test with the spl version vs daily.

The HW starts to shine with more power, we hoped to see it get at least 15k in this challenge. If you go up in HZ you will also see a large spike with the HW. The HW is good on bursts to the mid 30,000w range.

The SHW is not ready as of yet, but our sample tend to be .4-.5 db louder until 10k and from 10-20k about 1db and 20-30 about a 1.5db . We have not put the sample SHW on to much power as of yet. The most we have done is four d9 @ 16v and i guess that to be between 30-40k. Once we get it finished it will be really tested.
