That tiny coil //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/rolleyes.gif.c1fef805e9d1464d377451cd5bc18bfb.gif
Nice sub, bump for you
Thanks, man!
Nice Shane. I wanna come dig through your stuff! Lol.
TS parameters are spot on for this driver. Excellent. Im surprised Phil hasn't snagged this yet.
Yeah, Phill actually beat me to the pair the last time they were for sale but they didn't quite meet his needs so I ended up with them. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif I always love dealing with that guy.



Price drop, $350 shipped CONUS.

lol, substantially larger everything than a 4K lol, its a SS RL-S Prototype

1.45" one way linear BL Xmax and nice Qts compared to the standard Rl-s's Qts of 1, this is .67 (lower than the lms 4K (gen 1 and 2) then by its follow up series the LM10D2/12D2. Right on par with a broken in eclipse SW8K I have. in 3 net sealed after breakin should have an f3 (anechoic) around 19Hz

Nah, the original LMS 4000 all had a Qts of less than .5, even the 15" (.414 for the 10", .496 for the 15"), and they all had a wonderfully soft silent spider with a huge compliance figure and low Fs in the 'teens. Amazing, considering how extremely light those 64mm aluminum coils were. Very soft spider and surround indeed. Best drivers I've ever heard, glad I own one of each size. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

That monster you have there has a nearly identical motor, save for two of the slugs being 1" rather than all of them being .75". Top plate and T-yoke is the same but the coil is certainly longer, though. Very rare driver, right there.

Yeah, Phill. This is one of the pair of drivers you and I were trying to buy off ParkerG.

Yeah, just let me know when you're ready. Don't wait too long, though. I was selling it to pay for something else I wanted but that was sold out from under me. I wouldn't mind keeping this. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif
BTW, this work week was a killer and I'm just now sending your top assembly out today. Sorry for the delay, buddy.

I'm ready, pack it up lol.
Will do, lol. I get off work at 6 today so I'll get her ready for you. Probably go out on Monday since my UPS Store closes too soon after I get off for me to pack it up and get it there. I dropped off your other top assembly on my lunch break, though. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Still have my PP?
