Audiofreak, what driver would u recommend for my subbie? i have around $200-$250 aud, and am looking for one i can get in aus, save myself some time
for the money the Re/sponse line available from Jaycar actually stack up quite nicely they just wont get you a great deal of SPL.
griff:
In answer to your question....Audax subwoofers---I haven't seen anyone use a audax driver on their sub--audax is only renowned for their mid bass-mid-tweeters
JBL? ---I don't buy things from JBL
SONY?---DON'T buy subwoofer drivers from sony
polk audio?---I don't know about this mfgr...this company is not famous for its raw drivers anyway and no one I see uses their drivers
I guess the Peerless is the only way to go..I prefer their XLS series..but that might be a tad too expensive
Maybe nice sounding Vifa or Scanspeak woofers can suit you... the top line Scan-speak 10" woofer driver is excellent sounding and is used in top of the line speaker systems

i like the look of the vifa, can u plz give me a reco on exactly which model, i am reasonably new at subbies. They are dirt cheap though, how do the perform?
one more thing, this is going to be vented enclosure, and my amp is only 150 amps... how does this restict which driver i get, still looking at the vifa P21W0-20-08 and the P25 W0-00-08, very promising....
vented it shall be.
griff ... you mean that you amp is 150W but what impedance is that for? Vifa make some nice stuff but you'll find that they dont go all that low.

i think that is in 4 ohm 🙁, vifa seem pretty deep, this is mainly a music sub though, do u know where to get the thiele/small para's for the vifa?
the 10" Vifa woofer (M26WR) seems pretty good
the 12" woofer M30WO seems good also
The only obvious drawbacks is their untreated paper cone
the 10" scan-speak woofer (25W/8565) is too pricey but still excellent..according to someone it's used in systems costing $3000US+
The one you mentioned...P25 W0-00-08...suits u also
The only obvious drawback is that polyproplene cones can flex abit under extreme power levels or under high pressure-therefore sound quality will suffer abit when u crank the volume full blast - not as stiff as paper but will not deteriorate
the t/s parameters are on the website...look more thoraoughly
Look at the peerless woofers and compare them to the Vifa woofers

have a look @ the 12" Carbon Fibre Woofer @ www.jaycar.com.au the catalog # is CW-2145 looks quite nice just not sure of the Xmax.
thanks heaps for your help guys, im one step closer, i really like the vifa purely on their price, dirt cheap, this is my first subbie so the cheaper the better. btw, What is "Pe"???
ok, now what, that vifa P25-00-08 looks to be the one, its really cheap and i wont be having it at extreme volumes, so what do u two think? is it worthy? if not, what is for preferably alot under 200?
for the money you probably wont beat it but you must understand that this is not really a sub and the low end (ie < 40Hz) is poor.
my bad sorry ...
you said vented enclosure...
the last octave of a vented enclosure is dependent on the port not so much the driver... so while the driver is 10dB down the port will make it back up but the absolute minimum frequency the speaker will be able to reproduce will be Fs go any lower and it will exceed Xmax badly.
