Anyone put them on the TermLab?

A drop in test with a comparable woofer would be nice.

Alright,I didnt really read the thread on em,but I figured since they calling em dd knock offs,that they might/could have actually performed like DDs.Guess not.
Anyone measure the motor strength?

I suggest reading the other thread... the very first post has T/S measured on the 15" model. I posted T/S for the 12" model later -- yes, I measured them on actual drivers. The motor strength is about the same as DD... it is stronger than a 9500E that I measured, presumably putting it pretty close or on level with the 9500G.

DD isn't good for real low-end either, but these have an even higher Fs as they use an even stiffer suspension than DD so are even less suitable.

Until Konaki fixes the spider inversion issue I would consider these fairly useless for daily... unless perhaps you had them rear firing in a trunk.

Yes... first post... original thread that I made about these. No drop-in... but a score was posted that was quite respectable under the circumstances.

... and come to find out ... only three of four of them were hooked up. The owner told me later that when he went to take them out he found that one was not hooked up at all.

What do u mean by real low end?

So the motors them selfs are usefull?What about thermal power handling?

I mean extremely low bass. And yes... I've owned 6x DD 9500 speakers, their parameters are targeted at "higher" bass notes, rather than being concerned about really dropping into the sub-30Hz material.

The whole sub is useful for just burping... but the spider inversion issue keeps them from sounding good at higher volume levels daily. The motor specs out much like the DD 9500G except that it lacks two of DDs cooling tricks -- the horizontal top plate vents and the vertical pole channels. This gives DD the edge in power handling, although I've burped these with over 3kw so far.
