i've just acquired a pair of lovely X15's unfortunately one SN 15MB is blown (?) no sound at all. i've no idea how to diagnose this let alone fix it, so i guess i will have replace... i see the SN15MB is OOP, on the offchance anyone knows of anyone selling that would be ace. failing that, i guess i'll have to get a pair of replacement drivers, has anyone got any recommendations? i have some fane sov's kicking about, hardly a viable replacement but...?

| there was always a bit of ambiguity / weirdness with published specs for p-audio stuff, just saying.. |

i'm not surprised you said that tbh the specs i saw aren't quite there... 3.5mm xmax? here's a bit of info i found P-Audio SN 15MB 300w old model: Thiele-Small Parameters P-Audio 15BM-300B 15" 300W New model: Re.....................................................................................5.7 i think i'll have to make some informed decisions with regards to what driver options to explore tbh |

The xmax of P-audio drivers is calculated by the conservative way like BMS does: (VC winding height - Gap height) / 2 The biggest P-audio problem is big factory tolerances and the ever changing spec sheets for drivers. So even if you plug these TS-paramters in, chances are big the eventual drivers does not come close. Do you already have those drivers? |

Why not get them reconed? Drop Wembley and/or RMJ a line. http://www.rmjloudspeakers.com/index.html" rel="nofollow - http://www.rmjloudspeakers.com/index.html http://www.wembleyloudspeaker.com/" rel="nofollow - http://www.wembleyloudspeaker.com/ |

yes smitske96 - i have one and on that needs reconing thanks APW - i'll see if they can recone, probably the best option. hope they can get kits. i do wonder if there is a driver out there that's suitable for the use case, and if so, i'd like to find it. currently there are no recommeneded drivers for the plan which is a shame, they're a cool design. i'd like to find something that could ammend the plan so people can build them again. |

looking at the fane 15 300 TC it's a fullrange 15" so could be roll the HPF and LPF up a bit if you were using midbass such as kicks etc and would take some strain off the comp driver. mine is x-d over quite low http://www.loudspeakerdatabase.com/FANE/SOVEREIGN_15-300TC" rel="nofollow - http://www.loudspeakerdatabase.com/FANE/SOVEREIGN_15-300TC

I think I have a pair of recone kits for the old P-audio SN15MB. The only problem is that I'm in Romania and shipping and customs will not be very cheap. It would be a shame if those speakers would go the skip ------------- general manager & head designer at nexus-acoustics research http://www.facebook.com/nexus.acoustics.research" rel="nofollow - http://www.facebook.com/nexus.acoustics.research Ex Nexus_3 |
