Coaxial altec/jbl/jensen/etc for 2'' CD??

cathode_leak · 4th June 2005, 08:58 PM

Could anyone give a good suggestion for a efficient (97dB/W/m +) coaxial 12'' driver capable of carrrying a 2'' compression driver on it's back?

Greets!

2"?! I don't know of any that use >1" exit drivers.

Thanks GM, that's what I thought.. E'll with it, it was just an idea since I don't have any 1'' drivers and wanted to try coax.

Beyma do, I also know of some 1,4 and 1,5" types.

Greets!

Interesting, thanks! I was aware of their 15" having a 2" exit, but not a 12": http://profesional.beyma.com/ENGLISH...p?pdf=12KX.pdf

Who has 1.4"? Do you know if the old Altec large format drivers will bolt up/perform well on them?

TIA,

GM

I see B&C also has 2'' exit drivers.. But both Beyma and B&C seems to sell them with CDs included. I have TADs and wouldn't pay a dollar for B&C nor Beyma CDs.. But regarding the coax woofers.. that is if I can get them "raw", would the Beyma frame support 13 kilos on it's back, and would it be possible to remove the dust cap and fit a small horn?

IIRC there was a picture floating around with the 2" BMS dual concentric compression driver affixed to the back of a PHL coax. I think it was on a German vendor's website and e-speakers.com for a while.
