On the grapevine, we came across these images of the new NSX Subwoofers from Nakamichi,

We're told they are an "sq" woofer handling big power and are very efficient (over 90db-1w/m).

The NSX12 will retail at $899 and the NSX15 will retail at $999.

They come bolted into a black carpeted box for shipping. The 12" and 15" share the same motor structure and weigh in about 25kg.
Stay tuned for an official press release next week.

actually they're much closer to the old Eclipse titaniums, except with a significantly larger motor and a 4" coil, and close to 2kw power handling...

2night we managed a 140.7db @ 42hz with a single 15" NSX off around 500rms in the prefab enclosure... so far this thing is looking to be a loud one, i'm super keen to get it into one of my lower tuned enclosures tho, to really test how they sound......

So, have they actually been released yet properly? If not it's kinda cool to read stuff about brand new products when you've already run the 15" at last Bass Battle and currently have the 12" sitting in your car ready to test out at this weekends Bass Battle :)

Love it. The basket design is great! Wanna see more flex videos etc. :) Does this mean there's some new big monos coming to the Nakamichi range as well?
