Small Rig work in progress - Advice needed.

The dbmark xca24+ and the berry both have 96k sampling rate. The dbx pa2 has 48k for some reason. Don't buy the pa2.

Resurrecting this old post as things are progressing with this setup, and would really like some advice on driver replacement for the VS10 subs. I've spent a bit more time remodelling the setup to incorporate the new Turbos. So far I've reconfigured the amplification freeing up the Chevin A500's to run in bridged mode (1 per TXD-115 sub) giving around 650w per sub. This frees up the A1000 to run the 151 tops. I've also invested in a digital amp to run the Tannoy kit (they are such sweet sounding speakers with a lovely hifi'esque soundstage I couldn't take them out of service). I've bought an Audac SMQ350 which has 4 channels and lots of control over the input - output mapping, high and low filtering, individual gain control, etc. These amps kick out 350w into 4ohm into 4 channels or 700w into 2 channels bridged, so thought it would be a versatile amp for various configs. I've not cranked it up yet, so can't comment on how it sounds, I've been rather spoilt with the Chevins... The only missing thing is getting the blown VS10 driver replaced. Any suggestions on a suitable 10" driver, greatly appreciated. I'm getting nowhere with Tannoy support, as the driver is unlike anything I can find from other suppliers. It's a very high extrusion driver, which looks more like a home cinema or car sub driver.  https://photos.app.goo.gl/25ipNcbt7w63NwYs9 - https://photos.app.goo.gl/25ipNcbt7w63NwYs9 The Band Pass cab is around 30ltrs. Any suggestions greatly appreciated. 

Thanks Lucas, I'm really struggling to find anything. The Guys at Blue Aran have nothing suitable, and the guy who someone suggested might be able to replace the burnt out coil won't touch them either due to lack of spares. I did find that they were the same driver that Tannoy used in a home cinema sub, but I can only find one driver for sale and that's in Australia and over £300... Starting to think my search is futile, which is a shame as they are really quite effective subs for such small enclosures with great low bass response (better than my 15" turbos). I did find these - https://www.soundimports.eu/en/grs-10sw-4he.html but with no info about them, it's a bit of a long shot.

That's a fair stack of cash. Bear in mind that you would really need to replace both drivers in a pair if they are not identical. It might be worth asking on a car audio forum as 10" BP cabs are quite popular in that field these days. I would have a good think before spending money though, as that cabinet size and design probably isn't ideal if you're planning to use them mostly outdoors.

I hadn't thought about car audio. But might be worth exploring, thanks for your input!

Ha! yes, I take all power handling from that world with a pinch of salt! That's very true with the ohm load I'd not thought about them being predominantly 2ohm.
