I have two 12" quad reflex bins. One is loaded with rig 12p300's. I thinking this would be better for low mid. Any suggestions on 12" drivers that would be good for sub for the other bin? It's about 340l. Many thanks -------------  the midtops!

The cheaper the better as well tbh. I don't want to be putting too much money into it ------------- the midtops!

Buy a ton of the Thomann 12w woofers... I've built a few bass cabs using these and got quite a good sound. About £50each and 280w. So for in a cab will be wired to over 1000w of handling at 8ohms. But don't try to push the sub out, let it roll off naturally or you'll just burn them out. ------------- If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down. |

Why would you buy the T.Box if you need drivers to load into a cab? These are most probably what mini-mad is describing https://www.thomann.de/gb/the_box_speaker_12_280_8_w.htm " rel="nofollow - https://www.thomann.de/gb/the_box_speaker_12_280_8_w.htm ;

I'm not sure they'll produce the level of bass I'm looking for. I'm tempted by http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=FANSOV12500LF&browsemode=manufacturer" rel="nofollow - http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=FANSOV12500LF&browsemode=manufacturer http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=FANCOL12MB&browsemode=manufacturer" rel="nofollow - http://www.bluearan.co.uk/index.php?id=FANCOL12MB&browsemode=manufacturer Or https://www.lean-business.co.uk/eshop/rcf-lf12g301-12-450-watts-8ohm-ferrite-loudspeaker-p-2038.html" rel="nofollow - https://www.lean-business.co.uk/eshop/rcf-lf12g301-12-450-watts-8ohm-ferrite-loudspeaker-p-2038.html The sovereign is appealing for its price and looks like it could be alright. The colossus would be better. But is it worth the extra money for the extra output. The rcf seems some where inbetween but also slightly more than I would like to pay. I'm also unsure weather to just have both cabs filled with the same drivers and at the same frequencies. I have no information on the cabs. Maybe have all 8 drivers running up to 120-150 ish to meet the tops. Thanks for the suggestion though. I'll try and find more info on the thommann drivers ------------- the midtops!

Level? I have a duel 12 reflex sub loaded with a pair of these doing house music every weekend in a bar and the DJ is relentless... these play very well for a loud bar as a pair. 2x cabs loaded with 4 each would play very nicely. And at less then half the price of 2 you have suggested I would be very surprised if you could hear over £200 difference per cab. As a budget loaded cab you won't go wrong. They are super cheap... no harm in loading one cab up and hearing them for yourself. As budget go they arnt half bad ------------- If it sounds like a gorilla is trying to escape, turn it down. |

Yeah, 2,5 mm isnt much. Otoh it has 20 BL, and can go flat to 35 hz in a ~75 l enclosure. A pair in 150 l can hit 30 hz at 110 db with 100 watts |

Where do you get 2.5mm from? I get (19-8)/2+(8/4)= 7.5mm EDIT: I already see it, you were talking about the 12-280W and I was talking about the 12-280A.

TS parameters are available for download. You could easily simulate and play around with both drivers in winisd  Edit: And most importantly, you need to define what is the requirement for "best" in your opinion

Over here they are branded as the classic pro from soundhouse. I have 6 of them They take an absolute beating. Forget the ts just turn them up to max and watch the cones. Great to watch, how they don't break I have no idear. I run a xti4000 two a side so a possible 1200w. To clip all night and into the morning. Now getting on for 5 yrs old. Just don't try and put midrange through them it's painfully bad. I always wonderd why they have the inverted dust cap. Phase bung? Or an emmy LA copy. |

If going for the thomann drivers, definately the 12-280A more then double the Xmax. |

| Sorry I just thought about it. I have had them loaded in a mth30 Marco's one. They are really happy in a horn. Recently I put them into the dual twelve reflex boxes Art Welters one. I just wanted to see how they would fair. Very badly. Unusable. So what I am saying is Reflex I don't know. Horn OK. Just my experience. The part numbers here start lbu so not sure which is which. Sorry to confuse. |

I would if I knew how. Dropping low and spl are what I'm looking for. Bang for buck really. It's just going to get used for small outdoor gatherings. ------------- the midtops!

Dropping low and producing enough SPL require enough Xmax. Do you have any more specs of the current boxes? Volume, tuning and also important how is it constructed? Sometimes the driver even won't fit in the box due to the construction.

I have no specs and can't find them anywhere on the net. If I ever have time, I'll try and lean winisp and measure the cab properly rather than roughly guessing the volume by memory ------------- the midtops!
