Eminence LAB12 cheaper alternative

feket663 · 29th January 2012, 09:22 AM

I'd like build a pair of subwoofers for my 4PI speakers. The designer, Mr. Parham recommend the LAB12, but here in Europe the price is very-very high( $180 vs. 245 Euro) Can you recommend me similar, but cheaper subwoofer drivers for music listening?

Thanks for help!

maybe bms drivers or ciare.
to be sure you have to sim it.

Thanks for help, but I think the Ciare isn't subwoofer ( with 54 Hz Fs), the BMS is expensive too!

What are you using the sub for, home theater/ DJ parties/ prosound? What is the desired LF cutoff?

I'd like use only for music listening, my room's acoustic not too good (the 60-70 hz band iz very thin), and the designer suggest the "flanking" sub configuration eliminathing this. here is my room's sketch:

Description from designer:

I haven't got a big room, just only about 13x16 feet, and dont now the desired LF cutoff, but I think 30-35 Hz is enough.

OK then, what do you plan on powering your subwoofers with? What are you going to use on your Four 𝛑 speakers?

I think i will use a class D power amp (L15D or L20D). The 4PI I drive with 300B SE amp.

I don't want too much volume.

If you don't want a ridiculous SPL then I don't think you need pro audio design oriented cabinets / enclosures.

That's what the 12Pi is aimed at...live sound but with good extension.

Is size a concern? (I'm guessing it's not if you were going to build 2 12Pi subwoofers)
