Just looking at parameters tells you it will be ok, but not great. BL = good, Vas = stiff suspension, so will have good control at high power, but low extension will be average, Fs/qes = not ideal for horns, but will still work, Xmax=probably lies, but should still be at least 10mm. Qes & No = not very efficient. ------------- "Who am I? I'm the guy who does his job.. You must be the other guy". |

Thanks lev, I am trying to compare this to sd18el which is more than half the price faital pro. Will there be any advantage if i use this driver against sd18el. SD18EL TS Parameter:

That faital woofer will function better in a compact bassreflex I think, give faital pro a call, they are very helpfull. |

Above specs indicate that driver will sound much warmer/deeper than the Faital, and also much more sensitive. How ever, low Xmax and Mid BL tell you it won't take that much power in 186 Horn. Can you not get hold of Fane drivers where you are? Fane 18-1000 might be serious driver in that cab. ------------- "Who am I? I'm the guy who does his job.. You must be the other guy". |

Can you get RCF?
Think they have a few drivers suitable for the 186 horn, heard a stack of 4 last summer and it was brutal! loaded with RCF for sure but don't remember the exact model.
The RCF's are around the 250/350 euro and availability should be good.

from 140hz the sd18el does a little better, but the rest is thesame, according to hornresp. ------------- "If brute force doesn't work, you're just not using enough!" |
