Hi we are currently building x6 1850 bass bins.

We are looking at alternatives for the pd1850 and have been recommended the British made bishop audio BWP18, just thought I would get you thought on the the driver and see if any has done it before?

OK well I'll post something. Anything to do with Bishopsound will be treated in here with a good deal of disdain/disapproval/mirth. The drivers are just cheapie Chinese ones.

As requested, bit of disdain, and slice of mirth...

They will be fine if he has any leftDisapprove

The driver is a copy of the 1850

The first driver was sent to me via courier for me to test and extract the true T/S parameters, because the ones on the 'BS' website are guessed.

The correct T/S are as follows...

Re: 5.48
Fs: 36.4
Qts: 0.306
Qes: 0.316
Qms: 10.64
Le: 1.22
Mms: 275.1
Vas: 270.6
SPL: 98.03

A quick note to any buyers of this driver

If you are going to purchase this driver please make sure that they are the second batch (container load)

I was asked to QC the driver and the first thing that I noticed was that the Chinese manufacturers were lazy and had made the cone kit's up first then glued them into the baskets

Why is this a problem?

You could end up with a perfectly flat cloth surround and a sunken spider, or vice versa

The second fault I found was the pole piece mesh was too fine 

Apart from this, they were well worth the money of £180  at the time just before BS lockdowns, if you could find any without the spider and surround problems that is.
