I had a pair of the AC120 that were wildly different not only from advertised, but also from each other. During an Xmax stress test, one of them had the glue holding the coil to the cone fail.
I don't have any experience with the 130, but given the amount of anecdotal evidence I have seen that AC lacks any kind of even nominal QC I have no reason to believe you are gambling when buying anything of theirs.

FS= 52 Hz? WOW, what a difference compared to published specs. Thanks
Qts is rather high, spec is rather low. AC isn't known for quality control and spec accuracy.
Ya, I was kinda hoping to use it for a small monitor but looking at the specs I'll have to find another.

I recall this , big let down
Remember, it is the Continuum woofer.

Continuum is a small sealed box - will be fairly tolerant of t/s variations.
The Eclipse W520R might be worth a look...
I seem to recall a comment from Jeff B that the recent AC130s had a lower FS.
I'm not impressed with that driver even at the price, but thanks.
AC-130 is impressive but the W520 is not? Curious?
My pair of AC130's measure 50 & 52hz after just exercising them by hand. The qts is high at about .62 .
