The Evil 6.5, as Anarchy 704 alternative, bottom of a two way

Hi

Looking for specs of the Anarchy 504 and 704 I found this driver, the SSA Evil 6.5 4 ohms. Its a car audio mid driver with good efficiency (89.9) and very decent xmax (6.5). Available in both 4 and 8, Carbon fiber reinforced cone shorting rings and cast basket, it seems a very nice built driver. In top of that the manufacturer provides full specs but no curves. Sold out on SSA but still some available on the net.


Has anyone experience or measurements for this driver?

SSA Evil6.5 Mid-bass woofer description

Nearly 2 years in the making, the first mid-bass speaker from SSA is here. Being this is an SSA speaker, elite performance at an affordable price was the ONLY option. Through numerous designs and prototypes, we developed a mid-bass speaker that is deserving of the SSA brand name. As seen by the long list of premium features, (copper coil, carbon fiber cone, shorting ring, Nomex spiders, Aluminum basket and former, solid pole piece, underhung motor) it shows we went the distance to make the SSA Evil6.5 a fantastic sound quality speaker that can take some power and will have strong output when called upon. The SSA Evil6.5 is at home in a well damped car door, or even a home audio tower / bookshelf. When you want top tier mid-bass performance and don't want to spend hundreds, the SSA Evil6.5 is the obvious choice.

The highish Qts (0.474) and Fs (65.5 Hz) means it won't go as low as the Anarchy and will require a larger box. One plus is its higher efficiency means it will require less power than the Anarchy. So it depends on your situation and usage. I suggest you find and learn WinISD (free, tutorials on-line) so you can model both drivers. That's what I did. I also noticed the driver is on back order. It is a good looking driver!
