Silver Member Username: Mikechec9Chicago/atlanta Post Number: 475 Registered: May-05 | while i love adire audio as a company and as a product, these subs have me really anticipating. but as per mike: "Price-wise, and please remember to give or take about $50, this driver is looking to come out at around $560 for the 15" model, and perhaps $500 for the 12 incher. Please remember these are preliminary estimates only, and when all is said in done this estimate may a bit off! It really depends on how these prototypes come out and what type of modifications (if any), we will be implementing. Of course, as I am fond of, I will offer price breaks when you buy a pair. REVISED NUMBERS Will be released in both 12" and 15" sizes Will be built upon the TC3HP motor Will offer up to 38.15 mm one way Xmax - True 3" peak to peak excursion! RMS rating of 800 watts - Peak power handling of 2 kW. Will use a 2ohm single linear voice coil Will feature a powdercoated black/grey chrome basket Will use 4 x (7.5" by 0.75") magnets Will carry dual 9.8" spiders Will sport super sexi black annodized aluminum cones Some preliminary spec's for the 12" model: Qts: 0.489 Fs: 22 Hz Vas: 57 L Sd: 501 cm^2 Some preliminary spec's for the 15" model: Qts: 0.535 Fs: 20 Hz Vas: 164.5 L Sd: 851 cm^2 apparently Adire utilized a very similar technology for their drivers but trashed it due to inductance issues and distortion. however, these problems have been compensated for and the resulting bl curve is the flattest i have ever seen.  |
