JBL GTO1014 12" Car Subwoofer - RYDA Car Audio($184.85)

Isn't that the driver used in the Kraken 212?

If it is do that one!

But if I remember correctly the drivers were supposed to be $90 each....Making it a very good bang for the buck. I guess even at double that price you can still have a pretty beastly subwoofer for around $450 or so....

Edit...
From sonic electronics the drivers are $86 each...

I have not...ask others in that thread how they like it.

I guess if it's a flat $180 for shipping, save up and order as much stuff from
Them as possible at one time, as opposed to paying 2x what the driver should cost per driver from the AUS place....?

And the Kraken is about 20ft3 outside, just like I predicted ;-)

-- of course you could build half of it with one driver, only 10ft3 then...

Seriously, if you want a relatively small box which works down to 20Hz you might be better looking at home theatre type sub designs, these usually use inefficient very long-throw drivers in a relatively small box, either sealed or using passive radiators (can't fit big enough ports in) and big amplifiers.

You won't get the output of a TH (which you probably don't need anyway) but you'll need a lot less space.

As to what suitable drivers are available in Oz, I've no idea :-)

I have just been looking at the kraken 112, and that space is fine. I am however unsure of the weight of it, I still need to be able to move it myself, with difficulty is fine but still myself which I think the 112 can do (care to comment anyone?). http://www.diyaudio.com/forums/subwo...x12-th-10.html

However I am a little sad to have to go with a single driver version because if two drivers are used they can cancel each others distortion and since its for the studio this is a very good thing. Or is this effect fairly minimal?

Here's a thought for you. The LB1560 looks on paper like a great driver.... how about a djk PPSL cabinet? Then your drivers can work for either the TH or the PPSL?

In about 300liters you can PPSL a couple drivers and get flat down to about 28hz.

Is that still going to be as portable as an ss15...?

Hi,

How about bjorno's T-TQWT for the Ande LB1560 (please, note the changed Sd), you could build two of those, and still have room left over:

Is that at max power?

Im guessing that small a volume will be less than the ss15, and yes that is the better driver. This looks good

Any links to hoe this t-tqwt works?
