New speakers at RAW, have you used them?

The Bman · 28th June 2004, 04:03 AM

I am new to DIY and want to build something using these drivers as RAW is local to me and he seems to know his stuff. I have talked to him about a design using these drivers but in general has anyone used them at all.

$25 usd for a 10 inch woofer, is it worth playing around with along with a small 150 watt plate amp from Raw or Solen?

Thanks for your imput,

The specs for the 10" 8ohm A driver are much
better than the 10" 4+4 ohm DVC D driver.

The A driver should be fine in a sealed 1cuft box
or a 1.5 cuft to 2cuft box tuned to ~ 30Hz.

You cant really go far wrong at this price, they look ok and wont break the bank balance right!

Yes they are priced very low just to move out the inventory for the family.
And yes not all that bad for the money.

Thanks

I have a couple of old 1.3 cu.ft (36l) vented sub boxes. One has an existing 8" and the other is about 90% complete and being used as a speaker stand.

I am thinking that retuning the vents to 30 Hz and using the A driver will work pretty well. F3 is not as good as the 1.5-2.0 cu ft the sreten suggests but still looks like a good bang for the buck upgrade with an f3 ~31 per Win ISD.

These would be used as stereo subs mostly for music crossed at 90 Hz in a apartment sized room.

Sound reasonable?
