was thinking that. I found the caire here in the us
for 240 a driver. A little more then I wanted to spend per speaker. Adds up. Its tuff to pay retail when you have payed wholesale for so long. Especially when there are other drivers out there. I like the lower wattage of the sd 12. My amps would drive them better. But the retail on the sd 12 is like 268 which is more than the caire. I have not got my wholesale pricing on the p audio yet. So I don't know what I will really pay for them. They also have a fairly small magnet on them its only like a 80 oz They look pretty bad ass. I still don't understand why no one has used really large drivers yet in these type of punisher cabs. Or re worked them so they would work. The 12" driver in my truck has more then twice the liner excursion and 3 times the power handeling. I would love to see someone redesign the punisher for one of these drivers. Or a folded horn to take one of these monsters. It would be sick if you had 2 cabs pushing 3000 watts each. I know they are diffrent style drivers but I don't think people have looked at some of this stuff in pro audio. Look at the size of the 10" just below. Huge excursion These are just a couple of the super drivers which are being made now. I know of about 15 more that are just beasts. Some are just raw SPL drivers But some are SQ and sound really good Like the image dynamics ID max 12 here is a pic Most of them have easy recone kits if you blow them. Some are spendie but I can get some of them wholesale. I think the cost on the idmax is only like 175 and they are pretty sick Edited by puffah - 16 January 2007 at 2:30am |

the rubber surround i used was also a little thicker
this driver (no name yet) was far better than the ciare more energy little lower and less 'flapping' with power like the ciare
i managed to blow it with 2400 watt's bridged Dynacorde amp after about 20 second's of play, with a brutal track
so all in all very pleased
contour.. the chassis is going to be black
the only thing i'm going to have to do is strengthen the punisher with a center brace, because it was beeting the chamber up
i also had to stand my (14 stone)90kg weight on the box to stop it from moving
try the Eminence and your gonna tare the cone

Hello Mykey, Nice to hear you had good results with the driver. Do you have any idea on the price of this driver if you want to buy it in the UK?
I think it would now be wise to test a stack of punishers (4 for example) loaded with this driver to see how that goes.
Best regards,

Hello Mircea,
It is not the 1w/1m response that raises my intrest. Indeed simulations show the SD-12 is quite suited when it comes to response. What I like to know is the behaviour at full power. I think such things are hard to measure, a simple A/B comparison makes thing very clear usually. Also how will the cone hold up during use, will it rip after some time? These are thing which you do not measure, you will have to use or test the cabinets for a longer time to find the answers.
Best regards,
Walt

SD-12 has an Aluminium Ribbon Wire (300 degree) Contour I think (hope) the cone will not rip (it is verry stiff and it is one of the best in the world ). oh well, we will just have to wait and see |
