Totem Rainmaker Clone

It looks like totem is pretty fond of SEAS tweeters but I am looking to build a clone of the Rainmaker and I'm wondering who makes the woofer it uses.

Hi,

Looks like a driver made to Totem specs by Peerless India.

Possibly similar to this :

It looks an awful lot like the Vifa drivers I had in some Heybrook speakers (with rather more humble magnets).
Those Peerless cones by contrast look deeper with a noticeably more protruding dust cap, unlike the vifa's which looked more like the totems bass/mid cones.

Same basket.

After running some sims the 130X appears to be an excellent driver with very smooth top end.
The price is fantastic, in line with the Dayton RS series and it looks to be more capable as a midbass for a 3-Way.
I may have to buy some of these for an upcoming 3-Way project.
