High Quality Sub Drivers
I realise this may be a question asked frequently, however strangely I was not able to find anything on the Forums.
At the moment I have my eyes set on an Ascendant Audio Avalanche 15 for a sonotube idea (see other thread) which are said to be some of the best drivers for the price avalable. However, I may not be able to get hold of one as they are becoming increasingly rare. What other similar quality drivers (or newer better ?) substitutes are avalable in the UK for a max price of ~ £130 - no parts express  The Avalanche 15's have the following T&S Fs 15.7 Hz Qms 3.5 Qes .334 Qts .305 Vas 300.6 L Re 3.2 ohms Znom* 4 ohms Xmax 27 mm Sd 749 cm2 Mms 269 g Vd 4.04 L Pnom 800 watts Le 2.4 mH Cutout 14.125" Diameter 15.5" Depth 7.875" Weight 37 pounds Lastly, Don't suppose anyone knows somebody with a barely used Avalanche 15 ?? |

Made in Scotland, unrivalled quality and the guy is a legend, if a bit eccentric (in a nice way) www.shadowworks.co.uk only thing is they are 12 inch not 15.

@ richie00boy: Thanks for the reply, however they appear to be a little out of my price range with the drivers costing around £600 each or more. Are there not any subs with the quality of the Avalanche's so cheaply?
I shall have a look at the PDF for Caliber driver. |

They look interesting, but I can only see one or two prices on their website, such as £1500 for a pair. Am I being thick here?? Simon

Yes you are both being thick
 The £1500/pair is for a custom matched pair of the top model Goliath drive units. The range of drive units starts within your budget, that's why I mentioned them.
