Thats not the same subwoofer or driver. The TS10 is a cheap home cinema sub. The cone and surround may look the same, but the VS10 driver is a double stack magnet.

I think they are the same. They even have the same model number printed on them.

I've just had a response from Music Tribe! They are suggesting that the old VSX10BP shared the same driver a the original VS10 so theoretically the new drivers in the current VSX10BP should be backwards compatible. Apparently the have different terminations and comes with an 'at your own risk' disclaimer, but perhaps worth a shot! They've suggested getting in touch with one of their resellers.

Just going to add some more into this thread as things have evolved yet again. I did manage to get my little VS10 subs running nicely with a couple of drivers bought from soundimports. I did an event last summer which went really well, the marquee was a great vibe, but I did struggle with limited headroom, and fending off other systems in other tents nearby. I had a massive reggae rig on one side of me, and a huge rave rig on the other, so I got squeezed hard when they cranked up, and there was lots of bass bleed, that I was incapable of fending off. So... Onto the next phase!

Thanks to Facebook marketplace, I've acquired a fairly large haul of speakers. 
I've got the following new speakers to play with - 

4 x WSX (WSXtra's with the void v18-1000)
2 x X1's (intend to use the void drivers with these for indoor use, when the WSX's are not well suited)
2 x Limmer Horn 042 cab (3 way with a PD123er mid bass horn underneath)
2 x 15" folded horns
2 x 12" straight fibreglass horns (these are huge with 50x60cm horn mouth, and almost 90cm depth)
2 x small fibreglass horns (with Community HFE2 drivers)
2 x JBL 4560 Style bass horns.

I also bought a Berry ultradrive, and a Audac 4 channel amp (with built in DSP). Currently exploring some options for a beefy digital amp for sub duties.

Now this isn't probably what I would have designed from scratch, but for the money I spent it was an insane deal I couldn't miss.

My current plan is to sell the JBL's, the fibreglass horns and the 15" folded cabs and focus on the WSX's, X1s and the limmer tops. I would be really interested in people's thoughts on what direction to take this, factoring in my current Turbos and v8's. I think there's potential here to build a really nice versatile system (indoor and outdoor), with the headroom I lacked previously, and a nice sweet sounding rig suited to House, Disco, Funk and perhaps even some Reggae and D&B. I'm never really into pure SPL, but want a clean sounding rig which works well in stereo, for 100-200 people.

What do you guys think I should do next?

I'm going to try and post some pics, if I can work out how!

The mt121s and limmer horns are cool.

Good haul.
