Yeah, 225cm^2 would be pretty standard 8" size. Looks like they just took 8" diameter to calculate Sd instead of a real cone diameter. Rookies at the wheel
Makes you wonder if they also calculated VAS using an 8" cone diameter.
JR, didn't we listen to that Tang Band in Chicago at Axpona? It was in those large OB WFW with an Alpha 15 above and below. That's where Bryan sat on the floor to get the TB at ear level.

That was the 8" with neo array motor. BK had the right idea, glad I joined him.
$499 ... well $hit, they're $19 cheaper on Amazon. Odd, I though massdrop generally had good pricing on their stuff. Anyhow, always wanted a Stax combo back in the day wonder how these would compare?
Time to get back to work digging out a stump before it rains.

They mangled the description - based on that drivers advertised response above 1K I wouldn't use it in a 2-way, and based on its ability to play pretty low I wouldn't use it as a midrange. That looks like copypasta from other drivers lol.
Seriously, the off-axis shows a less than well designed cone indicating it is silly to consider it for 2-way use. Given that, the addition of the shorting ring and copper cap isn't as much a value added feature. I wouldn't personally cross higher than 500Hz on it. It really calls into question the value of it, especially at normal prices.
The $40 MCM 8" models just as well, has similar build quality including a copper cap, more Xmax, and many of them have been measured in the wild and they exhibit excellent consistency. They are just over $100/quad when on sale and even at regular prices it is a fantastic value for a cast frame, long throw, low distortion driver.
I didn't either, but that's ok.... i came to the conclusion that buying at full price when required is better than buying at sale price and hoarding for a project that may or may not happen and paying for storage....
that doesn't mean that i have stopped hoarding or buying.... but i would like to
At one time they were on sale for, IIRC, $27. I loaded up the cart and balked at shipping. Keep thinking they will have another sale on them but I guess this ain't PE.
The Wavecor 8" can be used in a 2-way. Balanced drive motor is a huge value added feature, it's more than just a simple copper cap.
I agree. I have a pair of these at home right now that I plan on using in a 2-way, probably with some Scan 9900s. Can't decide if I want to go sealed stand mount or ported floorstander.

that looks like a typo, doesn't it?
