    Why didn't you butt flats?

    Reusing a cabinet, I imagine.

    lol yeah I thought he liked the look.. Probably wouldn't fit within the roundover.

  • What nobody's going to claim d-bag as a name?

    Repurposed some boxes. Baffle is only 8" wide with 3/4" round overs. So flats on sides was the only way.

  • On second thought, someone else can make the D-Notes. The 5" models like shit.

    There is already a device for measuring headphones called this...

  • Not total shit, but shit enough.

    Here are my measured parameters. Reasonably close to advertised.

  • They would make a very nice midrange provided the "drop off a cliff" at ~3K doesn't deter you, which it shouldn't if you want to cross around 2K or do a super duper steep slope at 3K.

  • What about : 12L box, 2" port tuned to 45Hz? Using your TS parameters I get F3 of about 40Hz.

    With high-ish Qts and small cone area you need a relatively large vented box to make it work. This driver is just not going to inspire Wolf to make yet another micro-monitor...

    Did you also get the 6-1/2' ones?

  • They should be about 24% shittier according to my calculator . . .

    I did, have not gotten around to measuring them yet.

    Yeah, just grinds my gears to go that large on a small midwoofers though lol.

    Also might be a candidate for a TL. Not 100% sure because I am not all that versed in TL modeling. But it might be worth a look using HornResp. Then it makes more sense to create a small floorstander with the driver.

  • Being the Stance is 10 ltrs, it's a little bigger than I would like to go. If it worked in 10 ltrs with an F3 of 50Hz, it could apply with the Beston at 3.2kHz and be a viable newer higher sensitivity arrangement.

  • Sorry if this is a hi-jack, but these look really nice for $25 half the $ of the Sig. Frame looks same, no venting of pole piece. Not sure cone material, kind of looks poly.

  • Let's ask the dude selling them.... Hey Brad, what's the deal with these thingys? Looks like coated paper cones.

  • Yes it’s an SDS cone. Same as the PR 160s I believe. Johnny has a set of them. I think he has modeled.

  • If you have anymore questions, you can take it over to my jfcomponents discussion

    So I ordered a pair of the 5" Signature Dayton woofers. I'm going to whip out a design using the Dayton waveguide tweeters and call it the "D-Note"

    You heard it here first.

    We are thrilled! Lets hope for the best!

    Maybe transmissionline loading?

    Optimized for 30deg response?

    Could be a killer ;-)

  • Ahhh, buddy, you should actually read the whole post.

    Probably didn't get to page 3. It's happened to me in other threads :s

    Wondering about the 4" as a dedicated mid.

    It looks alright for that purpose.

  • So did everyone else see the distortion graphs in the Graphs/FRD/ZMA downloads and I'm just way late to the party?
