This thread is about the Dayton 8" Neo FR driver.
PS220
Which as of this post is now in stock it seems.
The main thing is that this is NOT a DECWARE driver, but a discussion of possible mods and applications seems appropriate.
There is a separate thread on the DECEWARE driver. Here:

Fwiw, I ordered two just to see for myself... and for fun.

I would have posted larger pictures but Flash sucks.

I think we had this one before when it first appeared, although it may be buried on another thread.
Anyway, appears to be a good unit for its type, decent connectors, powerhandling / efficiency look reasonable too. I don't much care for the neodyminum magnet, but at least it's not one of those Micky Mouse affairs with a ring of small magnets (ignore the sales talk -they do the multiple ones because it's cheap) instead of a single item.

Great thread, I'm really happy for those guys discovered full range speakers
Yeah, tough crowd over there. Good to see a die-hard multi-way designer like Curt take on a project like this.
For anyone in Aus, HAS Audio in NZ (Hasaudio Speaker Components - International Suppliers of Speaker Components and Speaker Kits) has the PS220 and the PS180 for a pretty good price at the moment.

Not for long.....once the Neo market value translates to current or new inventory orders expect these drivers to go up 40% or more like all neo drivers.
Hmm.. like this for example?
Tang Band W8-1808 8" Neodymium Full Range Driver
I don't seem to remember them being that expensive..?

Actually, they are on special now. DOWN 27% i think....
They are over to the right side at same level as Product Details in a little block called "Manuals / Resources" Took me a liittle bit to find. not as clean as it used to be. I still can not get reviews to come up. But, I use a bunch of script-pulling add-ons for Firefox. Just trying to find what one lets that show.
I was able to open it once, and than when I wanted to have a second look at the frequency response, it didn't open. But what I remember from the first glance is that is climbs fairly steeply from 1/2 KHz to beyond 1 KHz. How to build a box around that to correct it? I would appreciate other's insights on this.
