Has anyone built a dipole sub using the Apex Jr. Super 8s?
The price is right and the driver specs look pretty good for a dipole alignment. I'm thinking of building a 'W' dipole sub using these. I wouldn't expect 'killer' bass but from what I can find about the Super 8 it seems like they might sound pretty good.
Anyone built an 8" dipole sub or have an opinion?
Thanks -

i agree the specs are pretty good for the dipole alignment. if you're interested I have two of these Apex Super 8's for sale for $60 USD (you pay shipping). Let me know what you think.

Re: Super 8's
1st pr arrived late this week. Pictures don't do them justice.

Re: how low will it goes?
Of the 6 on their way or here 4 will be mated with Jordan + AC G2si and the other pr with Fostex FE108eSigma
The Q is about right for a TL, after my 1st pass (a while ago) thru Martin's tables the Vas might be a bit small.
Still a TL of some sort is what i'm aiming at.

_henry_,
I have a pair of Supravox 215 Signature Bicones on the way I'm planning on putting in an OB. I'm looking for a good pair of 8" - 10" woofers for a dipole sub.
My listening room isn't real big 12' x 15' so I don't need really big woofers. I would also be using this with the Jordans too.

the fs is pretty high for a sub, but then again dave, u're going for TLs that probably can make them go lower, aren't u?
for $70 a pair is very helping overall budget for a good system, or semi dave's frugal-tm system
little bit off topic, u're using g2si with jordans? i thought u said they don't match them ? and i remember in my thread that u're suggesting horn tweeter will do the job better? or am i mistaken?
apbea,
how about those supravox against jordans? any comments?

Haven't received the Supravox yet, hopefully next week. And yes indeed, as soon as I get the supravox setup I'll compare them side-by-side to the jordans and report back!!

We aren't really going for subs, but woofers. With room lift (people often forgrt about this), these should still have useable output to 30 Hz. And both rooms have a fair amount of lift.

If you are running the FR all the way up with no roll-off a good horn can better match the dispersion, if you are actually rolling the FR out then the ribbon should be fine.
This will be a 3-way active system. I haven't actually even seen a JX92 yet so it is all speculation on my part.

Do try them without the ribbons first, using the recommended 30 degree toe-in. They won't go as high but the imagery should be better. Once you've added the ribbons, it'll be interested in reading your impressions of the difference.
