12" driver recommendations for TL sub??

jjkozlow · 21st December 2005, 12:27 AM

Trying to get the ball rolling on a new project here. Yes, it will be a large enclosure, shooting for 120-150 liters hopefully (overall, not the line volume). Anyone have any suggestions of a nice 12" driver in the $100-$200 range suitable or that has worked well for you in a TL sub? Just starting to try to get some ideas together here, haven't even started on the mathcad.

The enclosure will be very similar to this, a stand alone 12" TL sub in a stereo pair that my sats will sit atop:

I am looking for a very low Fs driver, I am shooting for extension here----20Hz F10 minimum in room. The subs will be crossed at 100Hz, music only.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Thanks, Joel

Sorry, the link there is not working, cut and paste it into browser and it's good to go.

I used two Visaton W300 4ohm in isobaric setup for a 2.5 meter strait TL subwoofer (~120 liters) and is working just fine. I am using isobaric because of reduced Vas and for doing mechanical sum of L and R channels.
Anyway, Visatons are good and relatively cheap. See here (sorry bcose is in romanian):
