looks pretty crazy, gonna need a big rear chamber for that though!
ps, wondering why it calls it a ferrite driver when the description states the magnet structure is neo? Edited by will_i_am - 27 March 2012 at 7:11pm |

Looks like a car woofer to me...
Honestly I don't get it, 2000 watts aes and 94 db sensitivity, what amp are they bringing to drive this thing?
What's next a 3000 watt aes driver with 88 db sensitivity?

looks like they have taken a lot from the current range of JBL high end drivers.

Yep,these super high power drivers at the expense of efficiency seem meaningless to me,now if someone could make a 1000 watt driver that was 102db/w/m,then i would really be impressed.
Nice looking chassis on those though. |

looks at specs and LAUGHS ..clearly thats been designed by the marketing department demanding watts input handling and not efficiency.
Thats one expensive space heater of a car fi looking woofer. Just no.. sod off. |

Yup. Probably excellent for exciting standing waves at 18Hz between buildings either side of the road - in addition to heating up the car. You could also save on head-unit connecting wire by building in a little oscillator into the amplifier ..... just to go hhhhwwwmm ....hhhhwwwmm ....hhhhwwwmm ....hhhhwwwmm .... at 20Hz ....... the users wouldn't know the difference. Feckwits. |

trading efficiency for linear excursion range (xmax & soft shoulders either side) can prove worthwhile sometimes for extended low frequency performance in modest sized boxes, but with an average 13.5mm excursion range and all that extra power handling dissapearing most likely as heat and power compression.. yeah im not in any rush.
for drivers with alot of excursion and modest senstivity, bms's 860 18"s would probably give these a hard time on less power.. but with that im just musing. id of expected something a little more refined from 18 sound, they do some okay drivers in their range & this is just abit strange. |
