Hi everyone, im looking at these 18sound 9601 and ntlw5000, for bass frequencies 100hz and below. What are your thoughts one these two?
Greets!
Well, the 5000 has a marginally superior curvilinear cone that goes lower in a smaller box with a higher Xmax at only a 1.0 dB lower eff., though 500 Hz narrower HF BW, but still well above your 100 Hz limit, so depending on cost seems the better choice if it meets all the needs of the app.

Both have high power handling and low resonant frequencies, making them ideal for use in high-performance subwoofers. 18NLW9601 has 3600W AES power handling capacity and 34Hz resonance frequency. It is commonly used in reflex, bandpass, and horn enclosures. The 18NTLW5000 has a power handling capacity of 2500W AES and a resonance frequency of 30Hz. This is a good choice for applications requiring high power handling, such as in professional sound reinforcement systems.
The 9601 would be my preference for bandpass and horn enclosures with relatively small or no significant chambers (i.e. tapped horns), typically for maximum SPL in an enclosure that is tuned higher. The 5000 for the lowest tuned enclosure, typically for maximum output below 40 - 50 Hz.
