What is the Spl/sensitivity rating for the the new 15" DP?

Is it still 92.8 db?

 

[tcguy85 10+ year member]

is there gonna be a ten?

spiffy

when nick says "1500wrms"...is that just a thermal rating or mechanical as well?

im assuming if its an extremely conservative rating, hes talking about thermal and mechanical (ie, has some stiff *** spiders etc)?

yes i know, its mostly box dependant, but im wondering if you put a 15" in a standard 4 cube box @ 32 (just a general recommendation for most drivers by companies for that woofer size) could you get it to reach xmax with the 1500w rating. or are they somewhat like the BTL (from what ive read) that you need to design around efficiency if your trying to max the woofer out with its rated 2k watts due to its stiff suspension.

Nick told me that the least amount of power youd want to drive one with is 800-1000 watts.

I asked him if my BX1500D Hifonics amp was adequate enough to drive a 15" DP in a Powered 4 Sound Snail Shell enclosure and he said it was.

So from what he told me, it seems to be a rather efficient driver.

but, now were stuck pondering...whats does "adequate" mean to him? lol

to me adequate means you can max out the sub with that power you have. i mean i can take a sub with a stiff suspension and not be able to get it moving very good, then swap a different sub with a softer suspension in the same enclosure and get it to bottom out. i like having control over the sub, without having to build a huge *** box to gain efficiency.

*yes, the freq played, is a big part of whether of not you will bottom out the sub. but im talkin about a daily application, where music varies, not a spl build where im burping not to far from tuning and not getting any movement //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

anybody else notice the awesome cooling?

There is no basket cooling at all. They had to put some venting in somewhere under the spider and above the top plate. I would imigine doing what they did or putting top plate channels in the top plate. But, that would be a lot more costly to produce and lower the Bl slightly.

Well worth the wait,

Finally something that is not off the shelf.

There is no had to, they tooled that basket with no vents and designed it that way on purpose. Nick has been working on this thing for years, so anything that you see on it was done because it was better than other solutions that he tried for this particular driver //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Umm, no. Sorry to inform you that basket was not tooled by Nick. It is a standered PRO audio basket that was tooled about 20 years ago by Rola. It is availble from 10" to 21". The 10" will not bolt up to the same motor as the 12" and up. Don't get me wrong, it is a good strong basket. It is not used to often for car audio. The only other issue is that the basket has no venting which it looks like Nick took care of that issue. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Regardless, I want to try it. Looks like a sexy sub to me.

Not trying to be negative. I think they will be a very good subwoofer in the competition world. I just hate when people like to give a wrong guess or opinion as fact! Happens all the time and about 95% of the time of forums.

for the 3rd time.... is there plans for a ten inch version?
