Anyone have experience with these drivers. They Model very well for my small ported design, just wondering how they work in the real world. Choice between these and eDo10's. thanx in advance

currious myself as well.

The SP10 is best suited for tiny sealed subs,or to be mated with a PR in a small box. Very much a la Sunfire.


Enter the parameters in WinISD and model it. I was about to get two of these,problem is with the poor Xmax(Xmech a good deal higher)they will not deliver much in terms of SPL down deep.


Quality looks on par with the Sunfire drivers(good) but only a great idea for a sealed or ported(PR) sub for a small room with a major gain in the bass.


The driver sure looks mean,for a 10" it is one of the most fearsome looking drivers,when you check the Xmax...it deflates fast.

i modeled it in unibox and for a 43l ported box, it's flat to 25hz at 110db tuned to 23.5hz. driver doesn't reach xmax until 22 hz all at 500w. i didn't find the 15.5mm xmax was unreasonable for a ten inch sub, i'm more concerned with the SQ of these drivers and low volume listening-iheard somewhere that they don't respond to low listening levels at all due to high motor force. Any thoughts ?

Looks like this a very similar driver to the driver used in the Sunfire Mark II or newer EQ (non Signature subs).


SQ should not be a problem.More than that only an owner who has one can confirm.

ok, i'll give you an overview and maybe some suggestions from you? Ported enclosure 1.5l 50/50 home theater/music. Amp power available [email protected]/[email protected] with onboard parametric/cross/subsonic 30hz at12db. Driver suggestion either 10 ro 12 diameter. I'm leaning towards eDo10v.2

So you didn't like my suggestions over at HTF?

I did look up your drivers but they're all used and i can't find them new. Any help with new resources?

If I remember correctly, I did suggest ED as well as the Dayton RS series. The older 10" OEM TC Sounds on Ebay were a steal for anyone needing a driver that size.
