Impressed with the sound from a smaller sealed sub I made, I want to try this sub. WinISD likes this 15" driver in a ~2.8 cu. ft. WinISD Pro says 3.2 cu.ft. (Qtc .71) and says SPL is 88 while specs say 90db. F3 in such a cab would be around 38Hz, which for my purposes is great.
My only other concern is that, with such a low Fs, the efficiency would be low. Lots of parameters needed for WinISD Pro are missing, so I can't see full performance.
Anyone measure this driver or have experience with it?
Specifications: (Note: All specifications are with voice coils connected in parallel) • Power handling: 350 watts RMS/per coil, 600 watts total • Voice coil diameter: 2" • Le: 1.82 mH • Impedance: 8 ohm per coil / 4 ohm total • Re: 2.8 ohms • Frequency range: 20-450 Hz • Magnet weight: 112 oz. • Fs: 19 Hz • SPL: 90 dB 1W/1m • Vas: 8.2 cu. ft. • Qms: 8.66 • Qes: 0.38 • Qts: 0.36 • Xmax: 15.1 mm • Dimensions: Overall Diameter: 15-1/8", Cutout Diameter: 13-7/8", Depth: 7-3/8", Magnet Diameter: 6-1/2".

Well as you have it simmed, the efficiency is pretty low at 88db 1w1m I'm assuming?
How much power do you have available?

There's the spec sheet with the remainder of the specs to get more accurate simulation in pro. Though, for sealed box designs you really don't "need" much more than Qts and Vas.
