Dayton Reference (RS) Aluminum drivers finally out

Hybrid fourdoor · 30th September 2004, 12:49 AM

Looks like they got the initial information and prices up, still haven't put up the frequency responses just yet, but I'm sure they'll be added withing the next month or two. Although it has been noted by PartsExpress that none of them should really be used above 2K-3K, due to breakup mode qualities of aluminum, but this should come as no surprise.

5" Driver

6" Driver

7" Driver

8" Driver

10" Driver

Anyways they look very promising, and are certainly price point effective

I'll be interested to see the specs sheets on these =)

These do indeed look nice. I fell across these today while looking for a shilded 10" woofer. I'm thinking the 10 incher is exactly what I want, especially since they look so good! I'll pick them up to fill in the low end of a vifa XT19SD + CSS 4.5" XBL^2 three way.

The 10" looks awsome (Fs: 26Hz!), and it should give some nice bass with the aluminum cone, but the Vas is like 5+ CuFt...so no compact box here....

1.7CuFt for a 0.707 Sealed, -3db @ ~50Hz

3.3CuFt for a optimum ported, -3db @ ~33Hz

I was thinking of trying the 10 incher in a dipole, we'll see how that goes.

Argh, all of a sudden all these nice new drivers come out, CSS XBL^2 Extremis, these new Daytons, now I won't be able to buy food!

I wrote to PE.

Question:

"Where are the response, impedance and waterfalls for the new Reference series drivers?"

Answer:

"I don't have any of this information on these drivers yet. Generally we do not release this type of information until we have the actual drivers in stock just in case there are differences from the prototypes and the production models. "

Yet, their product pages show these items in stock.

I guess it's pre-order, unfortunately...

Hi,

No, the RS drivers are all in stock now. The reason there are no graphs posted yet is because, frankly, I haven't had time yet. I'll try to run the measurement data shortly, but I'm guessing it will be mid-next week before I get it posted. If I do get it together sooner, I'll let you all know.

See ya,

Darren

Wow, thanks for letting us know, I'm really looking forward to ordering a couple (got soooo many projects at the moment).

I'm definately going to go with some 6" with my Tang 871 project. Should turn out nice!
