Does anyone have any info regarding an alternative 15" driver for the X-tro? or a UK supplier for 18Sound? I can't find anywhere in the UK that sells them.

Sorry to answer my own post, but it seems the P.Audio WN15S is a possible option, although I can't find these in the UK either! How about the P.Audio SN15B? looks a lot cheaper, and more importantly, available.

yes , indeed I've made some plots earlier this year while searching for an alternative drifer for the Xtro, and WN15S looks like a good candidate  call the distribuitor to find out if he doesn't have the WN15S even if it's not listed on the site. |

Hmmm, the SN15B does not look so good. I've also read the Eminence Kappa Pro may be OK, but from experience, eminence stuff sounds a bit harsh. I think I'll try to find a price for the WN15S. Do you have a plot as above but including the 18Sound driver?

plot of the 15ND930 18sound Vs. P-audio WN-15S
Grey is 18sound, and black is P-audio something does not look right  ...... Walt, if you're reading this, please make a plot of the original plans for the x-tro, or tell me if this is how the 18sound looked in the plots at you too.  |

18sound is not far from the SN15B plot, something must be amiss there surely?

nexus, what are your input parameters lloking like for that model? i had a go
at modelling the x-tro and am curious how you tackled the front volume. what also did you do about the whole dual driver, dual horn, single rear chamber thing? the wn-15s plot looks very good there i must say. i'll be interested to hear what walt has to say as well. bummer about the sn15b as it is a good price, i wonder if the mb would be better suited? james. |

The 15N930 has about twice the Xmax, so the plot will look very different at fulll power. In terms of output it could be 6 dB louder. Wkr Johan Edited by mobiele eenheid |

for the dual driver thing, I've just modelled the sistem in 1pi (for a single driver/single horn) for the rear chamber, I've modelled one driver with half the rear chamber.  |
