Specs on the new Brahma 10" HERE

[Pistonsfan70 10+ year member]

Well after getting all of the info possible on the new Brahma 10", I have decided to go with a XXX 10"

Here is what I've gotten so far (from dealers and Adire)

Brahma 10 Dual 2 Ohm Brahma 10 Dual 4 Ohm

Fs 21 Hz 23 Hz

Qes 0.37 0.43

Qms 10.3 9.9

Qts 0.35 0.42

Vas 39.7 liters 39.7 liters

Re 2 x 1.4 Ohms 2 x 2.8 Ohms

Le 2 x 0.5 mH 2 x 0.8 mH

BL 12.8 N/A 16.0 N/A

Xmax1 28.5mm 28.5mm

Sd 286 cm2 286 cm2

SPL2 82.2 dB 82.3 dB

Pmax3 600W 600W

MSRP 389.00 389.00

And here is an e-mail from Adire about the sub..

Thanks for the e-mail! The depth of the Brahma 10 is 7"; you'd want at

least 7.5" internal depth to allow for breathing through the pole vent.

For power handling, 1200W is over the rated power handling of the

Brahma; I'd recommend acquiring a Brahma 10D4, and parallel the voice

coils for a 2 Ohm load. In a 0.5 cubic foot sealed box, you will reach

full excursion below 30 Hz with 600W of power. More power won't get you

more output, since you're at the limits of the driver.

Thanks again,

Adire Tech Support

Sorry if this post is dumb but I hope someone finds this info useful

It's not dumb at all...the sad part is in a week when this drops off the front page, people will be asking questions that you've convienently answered here. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/frown.gif.a3531fa0534503350665a1e957861287.gif

The specs have been on Adire's page for quite some time: http://www.adireaudio.com/Mobile/BrahmaSeries.htm

But the e-mail was a nice share for those thinking they could throw the same power at the "new" Brahma as they could to the old.

I still dont understand why Adire made smaller voice coils for the new Brahma. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/crap.gif.7f4dd41e3e9b23fbd170a1ee6f65cecc.gif To lower the cost?

I know the reason, Im wondering why they would want to reduce the power handling.

STFU n00b!

one of the reasons i believe adire went with smaller, lower-power coils, is to establish that the Tumult line of subs will be their top offering now, instead of the brahma series and a single tumult of before
