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

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

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.

Why not get them reconed?

Drop Wembley and/or RMJ a line.

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?
