Theoretically the motor will fit in the hole if it's cut perfect as our cut-out is just @ the motor size of the NS v.3 (250mm) -- but speaker wires won't fit unless you notch the hole. I may consider offering them.

I have an early NS v.3 motor but based on testing of the new frames I need to add more clearance to it -- and I will be offering a HUGE array of options for it that we've never done before (all functional to tailor it to various apps).

that would be pretty sick, and that says a lot about those baskets with what that v.3 motor was doing when you tested it before...

How large of a dustcap can you fit inside the surround.

O_O my bozak, it tingles with desire.. I had planned to run 2 12"s on a 3500, but with that new uhh "power handling" I just might need an old 4500.. or **** it.. I bet an NS1 wouldn't hurt 2 @1ohm

Got the 10" Z v.4 motor charged up to run specs on it -- so here we are (D2 coil) :

RE : 3.42 (series)

Fs : 29.4 Hz

Qes : 0.324

Qms : 4.61

Qts : 0.302

Le : 3.68 mH

Sd : 366 cm^2

BL : 24.85 NA

Mms : 316 g

Cms : 92.41 uM/N

Sens : 83.16 dB - 1w/1m

BL^2/RE : 180.56

For production the top plate ID is going to move OUT a bit (wider gap) to prevent damage in the case of excessive excursion (which is how I damaged the 12" prototype) -- this will reduce BL by a small margin but the Z v.4 motor force factor is still in excess of the v.3 version so it's a non-issue //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

All in all I think these specs are on target with what customers want -- compared to the v.3 we have :

1) Lower FS in stock format

2) Higher motor force

3) Higher thermal power handling (v.3 10/12 use a shorter coil than 15/18 -- v.4 use the same 15/18 coil in all sizes)

4) Higher mechanical power handling and thus more forgiveness of larger boxes (current 10s are very picky on small boxes)

So I think folks will be extremely pleased when these hit the market.
