Correction on New 6-9" Sub

> W69-1042 is $32.75can at Nuera.

Price is actually $32.75 US, not Canadian. Company is Canadian but the provided link gives prices in USD (noted at top of page).

Price drops $6 ea for quantities of 6 or more (not counting what you'd save on shipping), so if any of you other Texas folks are interested, a group buy might be in order.

DUH! Yeah, I know that (I've bought some drivers from them) but I must have been huffing crack or something. Thanks for pointing that out.

PS. Where are you in Texas?

I am in Dallas, but will come to Austin soon to visit my sister at UT. Any suggestions on where to go for a good time?

Yep w15cy's deffo sound very clean I can testify as I listen to a pair as mids everyday. But not cold and uninvolving as ppl have said in the past. Hoever I do have a 10" platic Peerless doing bass which I know adds needed warmth.

Anybody follow up on this new Tang Band driver?

I'm looking to make a small sub for my computer.

 

[swirv]

Im intrested also ... I wonder if Al aka RAW has played with these yet.

I'd like to build some subs as stands for my Tagband mains and these would work great due to there shape. The mains are 7.5" wide.

Those TB Speaks

Hey JasonL, what drivers are those? I've been thinking about something sort of similar.

I have a ~10L spherical clay pot with a really nice finish I'm trying to fashion into some small speakers. One woofer with a surface mount tweeter seems to be the best solution.

The FR is the TB W3-871S. Intended for these boxes. That's one of the tweeters laying in the bottom of the box.

I'm trying dave..


You wouldn't believe me but these little ice-tea cans sound pretty good. Im impressed for some thing that i did at 3am. when i was board. : O )

 

[Christopher]

me too

I'll spare you the pictures, but I've got a pair mounted int 1l cardboard boxes, they sound pretty good.

I've been planing to mount them in some 5L mini kegs I've got laying around, but just don't have the time.

Tweeter

What tweeter is mounted on the coffee can, any good things to say about it?

 

[jleaman]

These are genuine ICE-TEA cans hehe .. and the tweeter on top is a Crossfire Tweeter from the crossfire car component set. they sound pretty good. i like them.

Last woofer is a world class 5.5" model, the Seas Excel W15CY001.

How do the Vifa P13WH-00-08 and the Scan Speak Revelator 5 1/2" mid/bass units stack up? (I don't remember the model number for the Scan Speak.)

In my 99 neon ay setup in my car that has a 3" cone tweet and a 6.5" mid. I am sure that the tweet is handling more then just highs because of the size. I have been considering replacing the tweets with some TB mounted in pods on the dash. This way they would be facing me. I also was planing on crossing them over at around 100-200 and having the 6.5 handle everything below. I will either use an active crossover or build a first order crossover. Do you guys think I will get good sound quality out of this? If so do you feel it will be better then buying a component set and mounting them in kick pods? I want to do this as cheaply as possible if you think this will not work work well or that I might as well save my money and build a pair of kick pods and a set of components please let me know why you feel that way. Of all the 3" drivers TB makes which one do you guys feel would be the best option?

 

[Christopher]

The W3-871's are the one's we're playing with, and they have been getting alot of attention.

You may want to check out http://ldsg.snippets.org/FILTERS/Cuadra/elliptic.php3

for the crossovers, I've only read the page myself but it looks interesting. Does anyone have any experience or thoughts on these?

I have not personally tested either of these models. I have seen some test reports on the Vifa P13 done by others though, and from what I have seen and what I know of construction you can expect distortionn to be at least 6dB worse on most of the distortion products....or more.

As far as the Scan-Speak woofer, it SHOULD be similar based on its construction alone, from what I know. If someone has one they would like to get tested, I would be more then willing to test it if they would ship it to me. ;-)

Now remember, not all drivers that have a "Faraday ring" or short-circuiting ring in the motor structure get this kind of performance. Special attention must be paid to the spider, cone and surround construction. The entire magnet system must be designed with this in mind.

Cost does not necessarily mean low distortion I've seen expensive drivers with "distortion reducing features" that have higher distortionn than much less expensive drivers. Best way to know is to test.
