The 12” is the only thing I’ve tried.

Hi Brad,
Thanks for replying!
What did you think of the 12"? I'm looking for woofer rather than sub duty in a pair of cabinets one of my kids have. 10" should be close to a drop in.

I just found a thread over at PE that published the in house tested specs of the 8", 10" and 15".

I run a pair of the 12" as dedicated subs in my basement, I love them. I wouldn't use them as woofers, though, they are pretty bad above 150hz. Not sure the 10" would work any better as a woofer.
I’m with JR. Maybe someone else has use the others and they will chime in.

Good advice! Thanks guys. The search continues for a reasonably priced 10" woofer.

Hi Jim!
Unfortunately the pickings are slim. I think the P830668, RS270 are two worth considering, in "best for the price" class.
I take it you've seen this?

For under $50 bucks, i can't think of anything, unless I jused want to fill a hole that has a broken driver..
best regards,

I was pretty happy with the Dayton SD270A-88. It was $40 when I used it, but $60 now...

I am currently working on a project with the RS270P-4 woofer in 1.5 cubic ft. Really great bass and good sensitivity. It will play nicely as a woofer to about 1kHz.
Has anyone measured and compared the RS270P directly to the RS270? Why would one opt for one over the other?
RS270P-8A has a nasty peak at 3KHZ where the Aluminum RS270-8 is pretty darn flat all the way out?

I only have experience with the 270p-8a, but will say the bass quality is nice. I wish it dug just a little deeper or does what it does in a smaller box but still decent. I’ve never bottomed one despite that being apparently a thing on the 225. They handle around rms thermal power to xmax.
I remember the good bass being a comment from one of the judges at mwaf on my project using them. I had a single p-8a with dual 10” rsa radiators in each speaker.
Unfortunately in 2023 prices on so many drivers is through the roof..
