Elder Audio - Where can I purchase them?

[Soldy]

Hello @all,

can anyone tell me, where I can purchase this driver: 18LB100-8BX-Beta Three.

Contact form doesn't seem to work. Via google I found an Email address but until know my email remains unanswered.

I am thankful about any tip 🙂

Greetings,

Michael

E: If you happen to know a similar driver (15"/18", low resonance frequency, relatively cheap, linear excursion starting from 6 mm) you can tell me as well.

How about this one -

Dayton Audio PA460-8 18" Pro Woofer

Specs are very similar, and for these series of drivers, the measured specs are usually pretty close to the published ones (I've used the 12" version for some time now).

Hi Soldy
As you are in Germany, if you want a budget 18 driver then maybe the the box Speaker 18-500/8-A from Theomann would suit your needs.

Hi all,

The Thomann 18-500/8-a is the Elder Audio 18LB100-8BA.

I can vouch for this driver. Has been playing in my living room for 2 years. Funny thing, new data sheet from Thomann states different mounting depth, gap height and VC length (mathemathical Xmax [(Hg-Hc)/2] is 6mm instead of 5,5), Fs seems to be around 35 Hz and they've "upgraded" the power capacity from 500 W to 600 W now. The new data sheet really is more like 18LB100-8BX than 18LB100-8BA in these regards. I've attached the old data sheet. Of course, best to measure the parameters yourself.
