The type r really isn't a sq sub. I'm pulling a lazy (and am on my phone), but would one of the cheaper ssa subs(are they the dcon or the econ) work or an id q?

Maybe, if they're less than $110 each.

Yeah, I was making those faces and scratching my head too.

I think what he was driving at is that drivers with softer suspensions usually have a higher degree of compliance and will tend to have a lower Q being less peaky or boomy. Not always but most of the time.

I agree completely. A common misconception among some SPL guys is that soft suspensions are worthless. In fact they serve a purpose and among the drivers I have, the ones with the softest spiders offer the best SQ. Do they take the most abuse? No. You just have to know how to treat drivers like that. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

According to the specs, those Polk subs are SVC 4 ohm. They won't work unless they're actually DVC.

did you click on the second link I sent? Those are DVC, I sent the wrong link at first.

Never heard of RDs. Who makes them, and where can I find the specs on them?

Sorry, I missed that one. Yeah, those will work, but they're getting a little too pricey.

I havent looked but sonic electronix usually runs them cheaper on ebay than they do in the store. If you have a budget, I can def understand that.

11ov.2 D4 has a special right now at eD. $75+shipping

Lol.. you have no interest in these? It's a great deal and one of the 5 you mentioned anyway

Forgot to say. Exodus DPL-10 will NOT work in .65 sealed. They are designed for IB or VERY large sealed boxes. The lower BL and high qts makes them not suited for small box designs.

On the contrary, I am very interested in these. The only downside I see to getting these is they require a slightly larger cutout than the normal 10" driver and I would probably have to enlarge the speaker holes in my enclosure. I've had ED K series subs before and they were very impressive, especially when considering their low purchase price. I'm sure these wouldn't disappoint.

Thanks for that info. I didn't catch that myself. They are now off the list.

arent the ED subs linked the ones with the really horrible spiders and glue on the spiders?

No idea... Are they? Is there another thread with proof and/or admission by eD?

I wonder if this could be some leftover ill feelings against ED? I know at one time if someone even mention ED the haters would come flying out of the woodwork. I can't say anything bad about ED as I've had nothing but good products from them.
