Subwoofer driver replacement advice

zartan · 25th July 2012, 01:32 AM

Hi,

My very ancient Velodyne F1200 just died over the weekend. I'd like to reuse its enclosure (about 1.9 ft^3) for another 12" driver. I have a Carver TFM-35x amp (350W into 4 ohms | 700W into 8 ohms bridged) that I can use for power and a Velodyne SMS-1 for EQ. I'd like to get some suggestions on a driver that would perform nicely in this sealed enclosure scenario. Max SPL is not real important to me. I currently cross-over to my mains (old Gallo Nucleus Solos) at about 90 Hz. The whole system lives in a small living room.

Thanks,
Zartan
