Post Subject: To Wind Up Where?Posted by Paul S on: 5/22/2010

Romy, are these drivers going to wind up in the ceiling horns?  I currently use 15" Audax PR380M2 paper drivers in conservatively-tuned BR bins, X/O'd 3rd order at ~ 125 Hz. I do this because I need the gain with my current amp set-up. These drivers are not really directional, but IMO they are petering out, tone-wise, at ~100 Hz.  This frequency range pretty much splits the 12" and 15" drivers, IMO, but I plan to try the Stellavox 12" to fill that tonal gap.  Below 100 Hz, the 15" is very nice, and it is not so much that it is "bad" above 100 Hz as it just trails off, if you know what I mean.  Some of the bass guitar drivers have nice tone up to 400 or 500 Hz, or even more.  Unfortunately, few of these do well below 55 or 60 Hz.

Best regards,
Paul S
