Apex Jr. Super 8 Dipole

[abpea]

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.

This is a very intriging woofer... i have 6 on the way (probably 3 TLs). Woody claims they are not bad out to 10k (pretty awedome for a sub) which really helps when it comes to doing XO.

any chance you got the super 8's yet? I am very intrigued by these....Xmax doesn't seem very high though for such a beefy looking surround. Greg

abpea, are u gonna mate them with ur jordans?

i'm building GM's design too, and i've been looking for the right bass system to go with them.

dave, is this driver gonna be good for TLs?


cheers

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.

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!!
