Dayton 15" Quatro vs. Titanic MKIII

[GMichael]

Hmmm... maybe 2 Quatros would be better than one MKIII.

More to ponder.

Unless SPL is what you're after, then I wouldn't spend the money. Not only does the Quatro sound better, it's far less money - especially when you consider the few hundred bucks you save on amplification.

My sub will bring my large room well over 100 dB...I've got the 2nd woofer, just need to build a box, but I have to admit, that's more for a stereo experiment than out of necessity.

I think the new Reference drivers would be something to consider too if you prefer a smaller cabinet.

I've got two of the Reference drivers sitting in my dining room...

I had the prototype sub running last weekend. (10.00 HiFi model) It is a flat-out excellent driver. The clarity and detail is outstanding, not just boom and rumble. I had never heard a sub sound so good. Highly recommended.

Still more to ponder.

I'd like to get down to 20 or 22 htz. The EQ is a nice touch on the MKII also.

hhhmmmmm....................

I have two of the Legacy LW129X 12" 700 Watt Woofers. How do you think these would work for a couple of home subs? Maybe a good amp and a little MDF would do the trick. What amp do you think would do well? No EQ though?

The Eq on the PE plate amps is very limited. It attacks only one frequency band. For the money you save, you could easily buy a BFD, that would allow you to use a dozen or so (more than you'll ever need) filters.

Do your Legacy woofers have available T/S parameters?

T/S parameters?

[GMichael]

These?
SPL @ 1W/1M 89 dB
FS (HZ) 33
QMS 2.68
QES 0.90
VAS (cu ft) 2.730

[kexodusc]

Yeah, that's some of them, do you have DC resistance? (sometimes called DCR or Re), Le, and xmax, or p-p excursion would be nice too (usually measured in mm).

I'll see if we can't model you a box to stick'em in....
