Sexiest woofer ever? specs?

[DIY_newbie]

Damn, this thing would look good in an open baffle 8)

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.

from the MCM website :

Pro Series PA Series

When only the very best will do, MCM offers the ProSeries woofers. Every aspect of these woofers are designed for musical accuracy at the highest degree. Features include multicore magnet structure, butyl rubber surround, cast frame, poly resin treated cone, accuvent pole piece, gold plated push terminals and chrome plated rear magnet assembly. You simply can't find a better woofer at twice the price.

Anyone have any idea how to get some specs on this woofer or how to find out?

Give MCM a call. If they can't furnish specs. on the loudspeaker, look elsewhere.

I e-mailed them already... if I don't hear back I'll do it the old fashioned way and give them a call. I was hoping someone on here knew who built the speakers for them... You gotta admit that red/chrome motor is pretty sexy

...and straight from Focal...

and this belongs in the subwoofer section...

El Pipe-O was built with drivers from that line, I believe.

 

[jleaman]

Focal are great drivers. They have all made me drool..

 

[CBFryman]

the new magnum D2 SI's motors are WAY sexier...and MT's have that poleventless sexiness... only thing i dont like is the cookie cutter 12 spoke baskets...though they look good, a poopie load of companies use the exact same cast baskets.

If these are the same series as those used in El Pipe-O, you can find the specs for the 21" version at the bottom of the page here:

Kent English (I think) descibes them this way is the article:

"They look to be copies of a large Focal woofer, but the manufacturing quality is not quite as high. If you buy these, we recommend that you test them right away for voice coil mis-alignment."

 

[CBFryman]

oh ya

oh ya and then there is the uberwoofer

that coil makes me orgausm

 

[BassAwdyO]

What kind of woofers are those? Who makes them I mean...

The top one looks like some sort of backwards XBL^2 or underhung... The backplate is insanely thick!

the middle one all I have to say is, thats one big magnet

the bottom one... Could the coil be any further from the gap?

How do you know the coil is outside the gap?

The most sexy woofer would probably be this one:

or maybe: the focal multi-magnet? The Adire Tumult?
Yesss... definitely one of those three

You can see the windings through the vent under the spider. There is nothing wrong with it except that the gap is completely exposed to get dusty, etc. Basically with an overhung motor all those windings you see are the xmax of the woofer, which is pretty considerable as you can see.

i love this one ! ..
what do u think ?

 

[Cal Weldon]

I'm not sure what sexy means but I like this one from JBL

[jleaman]

I think that this thread has turned from sexiest woofer to..

Longest throw driver with most power
or biggest : O )

they're not open baffle are they peter?

 

[Peter Daniel]

I think it's a sort of folded baffle, as I wanted to keep the size to minimum. In room response is almost flat to 25Hz.

Ahh a man with good taste in woofers

Which size did you use? I finally got some specs and their all rather "short" on xmax..

How much equalization did you use and how high did you cross them to the mids?

Thanks in advance,
