I don't know about the rest, but the B and C 's are old models. Even in the 2008 cat. it shows the updated version of the TBX46 which is the TBX100. In the Archive section of the latest cat, it shows the TBX46 out of production.

If anything, it will have better glue technology and a better frame for heatsinking. Overall, it can't be too much different, sound will be similar but it does handle more power.

Alright, can we get back to putting this list together so that it can be of some help to people on here?
Maybe in order of best to worst with some prices. Some of us on here can't afford $1000 neos and would be happy to use a 'decent' inexpensive driver until we win the lotto. Or maybe it would be better to keep it in alphabetical order and give it a +number rating. +10 being the best etc. or +8 power handling, +6 performance in scoops etc.

Just out of interest,has anyone ever put an Eminence driver successfully in a scoop?

Ditto what Lev says about the cerwins,most in that list are very old,the 189 must be 25+years old now,3 inch coil,paper cone,and only 400w...probually fine for a vintage sound,but you wouldnt want to use it in anger.

These days, 4x scoops can do what 8x used to do, because people have progressed to higher power drivers, and larger amps.

But dont forget the Kilomax does have an enormous heatsink on the front, and before it starts sucking all your amp power into that heatsink the first 400-500W of the 1250W it rated at can actually be turned into sound instead of heat!!!

I think two lists of scoop compatible drivers should be made.....The first being standard everyday affordable drivers that have parameters that actually make them to be able to use in a scoop. Simple, everyday working class people drivers- for when you find a couple pieces of sh1t plywood,....and decide,....I think I'll build a scoop for my little house parties or man-cave/basement, or whatever, and wonder what cheap piece of crap driver can I get down the street for my scoop without the wife noticing that were short for rent this month. Not really intending on rattling the fillings out of my neighbors teeth, or soundclashing every tinpan with scoops, just a little boom boom, rumble rumble at a decent sound pressure level when the wife goes out of town with the kids and you feel like dusting off your August Pablo album. No true?
The second list being Lev approved Thumbs Up super dooper awesome (and probably expensive) drivers, for when you really really truly must have the ultimate performance out of your cab. Which is not a bad thing at all, if that is your intention.

man-cave/basement - think I'll start work on building myself a man-cave... Im sure thats what is missing in my life

Void drivers in the UK cost approx 192-220 pounds ( 310-350$US) 4 shipped to me costs approx $700. Add it all up and they cost $525 each when I get them.
Its 200$ more to ship 4 drivers from the UK than the US. So to all the americans on here- If you were to order 4 direct from void (192 pounds)(310ish USD) by the time it reaches New Jersey They will be about $450 USD each.

Thanks Lev, but I honestly don't think I'll ever pay over $600 for a driver. Void looks good to me, and so similar to PD already.

Here's quick way to choose decent "ferrite" scoop driver for scoop.

Ignore manufacturer's sensitivity figure, only consider reference efficiency, expressed as figure between 1.8 - 4.0.

Forget all Eminence, Paudio, Cerwin Vega, Peavey drivers
Forget all drivers where Xmax < 7mm
Forget all drivers with VC diam < 4"
Forget all drivers where ref efficiency (no) < 1.8
Forget all drivers with BL < 24 (Except PD186), or  Qes > 0.35, or Qts > 0.35, or Vas > 360, or Fs > 35hz

Separate drivers into 2x groups,
BL, qts, Vas,  similar to PD1850, or similar to Void V18-1200.





                           VOID   PD1850 PV-LOWMAX B&C.TBX100 FP18HP1020 FP18XL1600 FANE.COL-1500
XMAX  7mm+       10.5     11.25         8.25           9                  9.5             13                    12.75
 BL       24+          34.8      31              25           25.5              27.2            28.1                  32.74
QES    .35-             .22      .22             .33           .37               .29              .37                    .26
QTS    .35-             .22      .21             .32           .35               .28              .36                    .25
VAS   360-             201      249            295          212              219             195.5                 175
FS    35hz-              34        30            33.5          34                35                32                    33.5

FP is Faital Pro.
Forget all Peavey drivers but the lowmax.

TO BE CLEAR- The Drivers in GREEN seem to meet the parameters. I added other drivers- who others on this forum have tried in scoops. They would be the drivers Written in BLACK with the RED font where it falls outside the suggested parameters.

Never claimed to know everything about anything in regards to scoops and or drivers for them. Merely trying to help all the members on here choose wisely as information on the drivers suggests. I accept any criticism from any members to modify and change the list and it is open for anyone to add to it or subtract from it. THIS IS WHAT THIS FORUM IS FOR-  ISN"T IT? EXCHANGING INFORMATION? HELPING EACH OTHER?
Excuse my rant, maybe I should have been more clear. Maybe I should change the name of the list to
Drivers/Woofers- Scoop compatible or not?

you mentioned large chamber scoop. the only drivers that seem to work in large chamber scoops are high powered drivers such as void, pd1850, 51, tmax, fane1500 etc. eminence drivers cant handle any power at all, and will over excursion way before you get any real levels if you put them in a large chamber scoop. but tight chamber scoops some emi drivers work fine. ive had and used some, 15" and 18". if that guy is refferin to me not knowin what im talkin about ask him why eminence design scoop is tight chamber and not large chamber then if large chamber suits emi drivers.

I remember Rog saying one time that Kilomax was only good for a large reflex box. I remember when they first hit the market, mate of mine with some tubbys scoops went and got a load and fitted them, they did one gig and he sent them back! lol.

As for the list, it deffo needs to have Fane Colossus XB's on it, proven small chamber scoop driver Wink

Driver names in Blue are Lev recommended, Green are good, Red shows where the parameters have fallen outside the general requirements a bit, (but driver will still work ok)-. Purple is 'close enough' I will add to the list as time allows. Anyone with knowledge on drivers- pass it on. Thumbs Up If there are any drivers on here that are COMPLETELY incompatible with a scoop, then let me know, or copy and paste the list and take it off yourself, or if there are any drivers that should be on here let me know, or add them yourself.
BLESS.

Lev (or anyone)
1/ Should the B&CTBX100 'go green" ?its only .02 off QES and its a proven driver
2/Also the RCF,L18P300 is only off 0.5 of the BL.

Only going by Lev's Guidelines.-

Here's quick way to choose decent "ferrite" scoop driver for scoop.

Ignore manufacturer's sensitivity figure, only consider reference efficiency, expressed as figure between 1.8 - 4.0.

Forget all Eminence, Paudio, Cerwin Vega, Peavey drivers
Forget all drivers where Xmax < 7mm
Forget all drivers with VC diam < 4"
Forget all drivers where ref efficiency (no) < 1.8
Forget all drivers with BL < 24 (Except PD186), or  Qes > 0.35, or Qts > 0.35, or Vas > 360, or Fs > 35hz




Its not engraved into stone, and everyone is entitled to there own opinions.

As this is gonna end up as a long-lived thread (at least I'd hope) it does seem a shame to call up some arbitary list where known good sounding and in my experience bloody loud drivers are excluded like the Fane Xb and PD186 (as Saul pointed out) just for the sake of fitting some silly made up rules.

Most of the scoop rigs I have ever heard loaded with the big man drivers sounded worse than those with some of the ones which 'don't work' according to this list. They probably weren't as loud but, lets remember SPL is more important than a nice sound.

I think that's what this thread is all about. I think some drivers might sound great, but then others might sound awesome, others brutal. All depends what your looking for and what your willing to pay, and what kind of scoop your dropping it in. I think Lev's guidelines for the list (correct me if I'm wrong) are more for Brutal SPL. If u simply must BLOW the other sound away.
The Fane XB was only .08 off. I mean really. Wouldn't stop me from buying one. A good driver by any means.

Maybe I should delete my "suggestions" then, and RealitySounds, maybe you should delete all your lists, and people can just buy whatever driver, the various salesmen here are ramming down peoples throats, because they are getting trade deals on them, as opposed to being what people need.

Then wonder why it sounded crap in their scoop just before blowing. Or why another sound can batter them with half as many scoops.

People keep telling me to keep stuff to myself, and I'm now seeing why.

I dunno. I mean there are members on here who have playing sound with scoops for years, and newbies who want to try their hand at building some scoops. I initially started this thread to help people who haven't a clue on which driver to buy, as I once was. I wish this thread was up a year or two ago when I was trying to get 'orange juice- squeezing some lemons.' Dropping complete wrong crap drivers in good scoop designs and getting crap out and wondering why. So if this thread helps anyone then it was worth starting. Approve

When trying to help people results in headache, insults, stress, time to excuse yourself, and let people find things out the expensive way on their own.

Im located in Barbados and down here we don't have access to alot of the stuff that i see being mentioned on this site....we have speaker brands such as eminence, peavey, jbl and selenium. I think that basically named all that we get here....in a case like that what road should i take regarding good subs....i currently own 8 scoops loaded with eminence omega pros.....im not familiar with specs and stuff relating to the speaker/ box parameters but most people i know with some good sound systems down here just build boxes and load up.....any input would be appreciated.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinions on how certain drivers sound in certain scoops,...so to each their own, horses for courses etc.  Purple is 'close enough' I will add to the list as time allows. Anyone with knowledge on particular drivers, or personal experience with a specific drivers performance in a particular scoop- pass it on. Thumbs Up If there are any drivers that should be on here, let me know. This is a GUIDE. Nothing engraved in stone.

The BL is a little low for high power tight throat conditions.

So did you test any of the driver out yet in the lev scoop?


Posted By: RealitySound
Date Posted: 23 September 2012 at 7:02pm
Haha, not touching that one. The LevRS-Scoop thread has been 'frozen' for a reason.
However there will be numerous testing on numerous drivers in the Hog, and a couple other scoops throughout the next month as time allows.

Ok. Can you PM how the faital pro 1020 did verses the B&c tbx100


Posted By: RealitySound
Date Posted: 14 October 2012 at 5:20pm
 I don't have a TBX100, I have the TBX46 which is an older model but quite similar. Honestly I love the sound of the TBX, and haven't played around with the FP1020 enough to create any opinion on it yet, Or one vs the other etc. I must admit when I took it out of the box it was so light it felt like a toy. (Have trouble believing it could take 1KW without catching on fire) I'm afraid work and life in general is getting in the way of scoop experiments right now, but will post with progress as time allows.

it would be cool to determine which parameter values work well for different scoops.
For instance, we know driver A and B work well in hog, and drivers C and D work well in Super, etc.

Do you have this in an excel file?

I agree. Only thing is some people prefer the sound of 'driver A' in cabinet Z and others like driver B in it better. So it is true that the parameters do influence the sound in different designs of scoops, size of rear chambers etc. but alot is what sound you like and what result you are looking for. Raw SPL? Musicality? Long throw? Short? etc etc.

To quote Rog-

Its all about matching the compliance with the front chamber. Large compliance woofers work well with larger front chambers and will play lower, but will not be as loud as low compliance woofers in scoops with smaller front chambers. These scoops will not play as low but will be loud, hard and in ya face. All depends on how many scoops you are going to use. If its only ever 3 or 4 in a stack then go with a larger front chamber and high compliance woofer. If you always use 6 or more in a stack then use a small front chamber with low compliance woofer as having a lot of scoops will slow down the transient response and drop the high corner frequency. So scoops that are a bit too fast and play high well are the ones you need if you plan on using lots all the time.

Another rule of thumb with scoops and compliance is try to make the front chamber 4 times less than the Vas. So if the woofer has a Vas of 200 litres then make the front chamber 50 litres. Woofers with a high Vas of around 400 need a front chamber of around 100 litres to work well.
 
The problem with large front chambers is that the horn path is shorter for a given cabinet size. This tends to make the woofer uncouple at a higher frequency and thorw will not be as far as with a small front chamber longer horn. Also try and aim for a driver resonance 3 to 4Hz lower than the 1/4wl tuning of the horn. This will add a bit of reactance and add a small amount of gain around the cutoff. But at the expense of a steeper rolloff.


No excel, sorry.

i know it falls within the params, but maybe someone can help read a little deeper

Thanks for that,  where can I find more info of this nature???
The reason I ask is that Im looking to design some scoops for some easily-available, US market drivers; B&C, Celestion,(others?)

Did anyone try that rcf lf18lx451? Looks sweet to me

I have 4 pcs of the lf18n451, they do the best job of all the drivers i tried in my hybrid horns, pd.1850 is quite equal but has a harder sound and won't take as much beating as the rcf according to the specs. I'm not sure about rms ratings, for instance a pd.1850 easily beats l18p300 1000w and 18b800w, but this all depends on the cabs too i know... Oups Sorry for running a bit off topic here.

I would have said the zb100 definately until I saw the power handling.

Maybe because 1800 W AES is much more than needed for a scoop?


Posted By: bass*en*mass
Date Posted: 28 January 2013 at 1:38am
how much is "needed" for a scoop?

some say 400W, others 800W, even 1.2kW - 1.6kW..

depends on what you are after i would say...

TV00 you have anything to do with Dandelion?
Ras where you from? Seen your posts on Rootssound aswell..

I made a quick search on the forum and over this post but there is no mention about EBP, I know thats  just a relationship between two factors allready given ( Fs/Qes), 
but I'd like to understand
 how much, and also how in comparision with the rest of the given parameters of a speaker is important for having aggressive or sounding response for a driver loaded in a super...

HERE IS A FEW DRIVERS WHERE I WORKED OUT THE EBP FOR THE 1850/186 HORN,........
SOMEONE ELSE IS GOING TO HAVE TO CHIME IN TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION........Wink


quote from 1850 plan- "PD 1850 and other drivers with an EBP over 125 and BL's over 28. For drivers with EBP's around 110 or lower use the 186 horn." Green is somewhere in between. Brown have the high EBP, but the BL is less than 28.

Look at realitysounds post, he doesn't even list the x401, why? -Because it haven't got that high EBP I guess, this is not only a questin about watts, but more of a question about EBP, BL & Xmax.

By the way: you ALLWAYS need more power and sensivity right:-)
-Otherwise just build a refleks, they're much smaller and you wont need 6 a side to go down really low:-)

There is probably lost of drivers that are not on this list. If anyone notices that there is one that should have probably made the list, then by all means drop a line........
This list is a guide for people who haven't the foggiest about choosing a driver for a rear loaded horn, as which I once was. Knowledge has been passed on to me, and I am passing it on to the masses. The list is open to scrutiny.
Bless.

Driver names in Blue tried & tested, Green are good, Red shows where the parameters have fallen outside the ideal specs a bit,..but driver will still work, just not as great as the others (green) for max spl. Everyone is entitled to their own opinions on how certain drivers sound in certain scoops,...so to each their own, horses for courses etc.  Purple is 'close enough' I will add to the list as time allows. Anyone with knowledge on particular drivers, or personal experience with a specific drivers performance in a particular scoop- pass it on. Thumbs Up If there are any drivers that should be on here, let me know. This is a GUIDE. Nothing engraved in stone.

I like the sound and the customers certainly like the sound so how can I not recommend the B and C 18SW115.
