I was needing some full range speakers for a center channel install in a buddy's truck, so I suggested to him the Aura NS2-326-8a 2" microwoofer for this application. At first he looked at me kinda weird as I showed him pics of it, and somehow I convinced him to buy one if I bought one, so I ordered them.
All I can say is WOW, these things are loud considering their size. The video I made was just free air tests, but when I took them to the shop we put one in a plastic container (shown below, the mid is taped to the butt connector container) and is hooked to a Powerbass 200 watt amp. First we tried xovering it at 80 hz, then 100, then at full range and this little woofer kept up! Even my team mate's wife came out side to find out what was making so much noise, and she couldnt believe it as well. And it IS hard to believe this little thing wangs, but it does.. Its specs boast around 5mm xmax, thats half the xmax of some 10" subwoofers!
Price - $16.38 from Madisound.com and about a day delivery time. Awesome speakers, they could easily be used in doors or maybe 20-30 in a 3 cf slot box tuned to about 45 hz. Unfortunately, the Termlab wasnt working for some reason, so we couldnt meter it //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif .....as soon as I figure out why its not working, i'll meter it in vehicle.
ok, and on to the video.....its just a free air test on my test bench with 50 watts, but as you can see in the video it wangs.....enjoy
