Sundown Audio U-Series v.1 10" Subwoofer (D2) - 1500W RMS, Dual 2-Ohm, 30mm Xmax, 3" CCAW Voice Coil, Optimized for Small Ported Enclosures
Product Description
Sundown Audio U-Series v.1 10" Subwoofer (D2) - 1500W RMS, Dual 2-Ohm, 30mm Xmax, 3" CCAW Voice Coil, Optimized for Small Ported Enclosures
- High-Power 1500W RMS Rating: Features a 2.36" long / 3" diameter 4-layer aluminum winding voice coil rated for 1500 Watts RMS. Uses a Black Aluminum former for superior heat dissipation.
- Advanced Motor Design: Utilizes a powerful double-stacked 8.66" wide Y35 grade ferrite magnet system with a 5mm thick aluminum shorting ring to reduce static inductance. Motor has a 0.6" long pole-extension for coil control.
- Enhanced Thermal Management: Coil temperature is regulated by a heavily smoothed high-velocity pole-vent, ten direct air-gap vents, and cast aluminum vent rings to effectively exchange air over the voice coil.
- Durable & High-Excursion Build: Features 30mm Xmax and an all-new cast aluminum frame with cast-aluminum surround clamps for enhanced stability. Includes double stitched surround and double-XL tinsel leads.
- Optimized Enclosure Specs (D4): Features a Dual 4-Ohm (6.1 Ω Re) configuration, ideal for amplifier matching. Optimized for 0.5 cu ft sealed or 1.0 cu ft ported enclosures. Outside Diameter is 10.94" with a 9.17" cutout.
Finalized terminal spacing, basket color, venting, cast aluminum surround clamp rings, etc. After about a year of work I think the U series maybe ready to start production soon. Stay tuned for more updates! This will be our new series to bridge the gap from the SA to the X v.2 series -- it is also the most direct replacement for the discontinued Z v.3 series but at a much lower price. They use the same voice coil as the X v.2 series; therefore RMS power is 1500-watts rated conservatively. The motor is a similar design to the X v.2 series with one less magnet slug since it isn't needed for use on these frames & soft parts. It also retains a magnet ID shorting ring just like the X v.2 series motor. I have tooled 4 new cone bodies & surrounds to mate up to an entirely different frame tooling from the 1st prototypes. These surrounds are based on the Z v.3 18" surround geometry as this has been our go-to cone for SPL (we use those cones in our Terra for our World Record in SS 3-4 class). We also have tooled the cones to support the same wide-flange dust caps we use on all the new platform drivers. They also feature custom tooled cast aluminum vent spacers to mate up correctly to these frames. We tooled 2 different spacers for this line. Another new feature (also fully custom tooled) is the cast aluminum surround bolt-on ring. We tooled one for each size U series. These woofers will have a similar sound to the Z v.3 series -- meaning they do not have the "new platform" sound of the X, Z, NS, etc.
