Hey man, I picked up 2 of these exact 8 Series Eclipse subs, I had to drive over an hour and half each way, but for $200 bux, 2 12" Aluminum 8 Series, a box and A DB drive SPA "1200 Watt" amp ( fused w/ 2 30 watt fuses!? Lol :( ), these slamm. Very happy. Keep up the gr8 vids Pat!
@@RobotUnderground So I currently have a Brahma and love it.... been running brahmas since the mid 00, but it's more of an SQ based build. I have another vehicle (SUV) that I want to do a new build in and I have 12-15 cubes net to work with so I was thinking a pair of 18's. I have a pair of ascendant Havoc 15's, which I believe were built by NCA labs, and an Ascendant Avalanche 18. The havocs came unglued at the spider spacer, but would be fine if I reglued it, but I was thinking of just getting those rebuilt into 18's. The avalanche was over powered and probably needs reconed..... you wouldn't by chance know how to get ahold of an avalanche motor so I could run a pair? Another option is just to grab a new pair of 18's..... I'd definitely be interested in running a pair of brahma 18's if you have any brahma motors... sorry for the wall of text... is there a good way to contact you to discuss?
@@mikewalker4950 The Havoc and Avalanche are built by Fi there in Vegas. Hit up the guys at AA to see if they'll sell you just a motor.. Maybe something used or whatever. Both those motors are better than anything that Adire ever built, even the Tumult. I'd just stick with those since we're not all made of money. I've been campaigning that SQL is just overkill, deep playing bass.. Which it is... But when people still want number, I'm out. Numbers are a different game and nobody has the budget to get 160db @ 30Hz.
RobotUnderground these are old gen 1s the avalanche was built by Scott, but it was destijl in the re days and xbl. I guess I could ask if there was a motor laying around but I doubt it. The havoc is gen 1 before Scott bought AA from chad. It was made by NCA and was a very low quantity run. I believe the motor is similiar to one of the older mojos with the orange 12 spoke and original IA DP. I can’t even find any images online so I’ll have to go take a pic when I’m at my storage unit. Maybe buying 18” baskets and recones would be the way to go for those.
It's big but expensive in my opinion. Especially being made in China. Actual cost should have been around $165 each so they should retail for around $350-$400 with normal margins.
Should have went to robot underground would have got all the awesomeness they could have handled i bought around 4 subs from Pat not to mention batteries and a lot of zero awg he tell you like it is and preety much is on point . He will even give you work he pays you above minimum wage think 20 an hour in store credit so someone that wants a sys and doesnt have in there budget, few hours a week, in a month be shaking up your block, with the best subs you will ever hear, he makes his subs to your liking he ask you what you want to spend and how you like your bass . My boy Patrick is a good dude and a friend of mines car audio brought us toghether .
Ive still got a number of the eclipse tc9s the the old sound splinter triple stacks. Couple versions of the 3hp along with the neos then the old tight gap sigs and a bunch of old tc2 motors. I like tc stuff wish thiloh was a better business man
Also have some tc7s Then I had the old Memphis you mentioned definitely a tc 9 inspired motor sold it a while back then saw it at a pawn shop nearby recently
Everyone always says car audio subs are not efficient enough for pa use. I've always thought they get plenty loud in cars and they play way deeper then pa subs.
There are definitely higher and lower grade Chinese steel. Used to have family water well drilling business and the steel casing we would get from China sometimes would be very different from others. Most of the time Chinese steel was softer. Korean steel casing was much stronger and always good.
Haha "THAT'S IT!" Your "shortcut claims" are wild nonsense. When building a sound system, of course we look into the car audio. It is just that it is not feasible. The goodie drivers are more expensive than PA, one needs commercial repeatability, and also efficiency, because not every place has 100kW mains for you. Upper range of PA drivers now hang at Xmax around 15mm which is fine for 40Hz and flat final response, and at 30Hz you have box tuning where the cone barely moves anyways. In Europe, you can't get much for under $500 in car audio department.
I still have my very old tc-9 prototype (paper cone dual 2ohm) and it still sounds excellent, love this sub in a smaller sealed box!

Yes i remember the guy from psi nice dude
The sunfire true subs is what sparked my addiction to audio when I was young
Got them in the trunk right now the eclipse 15 dvc 4ohm.
I used to drool over them eclipses alum subs back in the 90s it was so fucking expensive.
For the price of one I had four pyramid pw15120us 15”
Is 28.9 a good bl for a 12 sub??
Lol ! Yes that's excellent. Anything in the '20s is great
How much for parts to rebuild these?

I have an eD E12A that was a test sample with alum backing on the flat cone. It has the dual 1" Tc9 with 4spoke :)
Thanks for the video
really enjoy watching your videos.....
I still have a tc-9 and tc-7 with both qca's. I'm looking to recone them.
Sounds good. You can just disconnect them and send in the tops. 720 W. Southern Ave., Mesa, AZ 85210

Have any XBL^2 motors that can be built and purchased? Ohhhh or some LMS coils?
Only two of the big 4" LMS coils left and they're $200 each shipped. Yes I can build you big XBL motors if you'd like.

It's big but expensive in my opinion. Especially being made in China. Actual cost should have been around $165 each so they should retail for around $350-$400 with normal margins.
