Eminence LAB15 Subwoofer, 4ohm, Special Run for CHEAP on ebay

[m R g S r]

It looks like it.

What I don't get is how a special run was designed, manufactured and sold for less than half of the original lab 15.

The original should be $100 plus shipping now

The "special run" probably cost some cabinet manufacturer the usual dealers cost. The E-Bay seller probably bought them from that manufacturer at a fraction of the original cost after the manufacturer found a lack of sales, or the manufacturer simply wanted to move inventory to support cash flow and sold them. Buy outs occur frequently, some really good drivers can be had dirt cheap if you don't mind that when they are gone, they may not be replaceable.

Hmm Danley cabinet possibly?

The Ebay seller was Eminence.

I understand (rumor mill) a manufacturer dropped out of an order, this they were offered at a steep discount.

Steve at ApexJR has mentioned he has a ton of buyout speakers at his warehouse that aren't listed on the website. Might be worth a look if you're in CA

btw guys... dealer pricing is a lot closer to what these 4 ohm drivers were sold at than you might believe (though still more expensive for sure).

now i'm thinking two corner boxes would have been neat. spec'ing out semi triangular enclosures atm...

 

[sabaspeed521]

All you gotta do is FOLLOW THE PLANS, build 2 for +6db, then corner load for +6db, then follow the plans, check for air leaks, get reccomended 3 other options that aren't any better/worse, add another 3db and perhaps follow the plans
Oh and if you need more db than the freebies we handed out earlier, build more boxes.

Before you bash BFM , realize that the Cabinets in a corner will flatten out the trailing low end response, I've measured my T60 flat to 24 without any low end boost cornerloaded. Just because a design isn't flat in open space doesn't mean it isn't a solid design or even flatter in room than a measurably flat cabinet in open space.

Experience: I'm 21 and I know what we listen to, used to DJ, spectrum analyzes rap/ EDM / trap which tend to be the most demanding.

If you've never heard Tyga - Rack city down to 25 you're missing out

I'm 45 and I ONLY listen to rap/EDM. Tyga's Rack City is BANGIN' with my T-TQWT! It's an EXCELLENT test track. The wife loves to hear Outkast's SpeakerBoxxx Intro on all my sub builds.

Jeez, that "Rack City" song should come with a warning - almost launched my 10" sub's driver across the room..!

 

[sine143]

yep... rack city is a "car only" type of track. that cabin gain

Clever on their part in my opinion.

 

[m0reilly]

RIGHT ON !

Looks like they made more of these available! Thats good news for those folks who didn't have a chance to grab one or a few of these the first time around .

 

[bitSmasher]

pay day this weekend... oh how much trouble I'd get in for blowing my month's budget on these

You got me beat (42) but props for Social D. Mike and the boys rocking the House of Blues tonight in Cleveland. Wish I was going... Last time I saw them was early 90's at a small night club made from an abandoned movie theatre. 8 MTL4s working the low end. Life changing. Probably even the reason I am here!

 

[m0reilly]

after a few days (6 hour + per evening sessions since cab completion ) the driver is producing a much bigger slam/deeper bass response. i have had to progressively turn down the sub volume during the last few days because of this. big clear bottom end.
