    adire brahma clones for $125 (small catch)

    here is the link
    hope someone can use these
    We had a slight goof on a production run which has a wee bit too stiff of a suspension for our original goals. Our choices are to send them back to the build-house and have them rebuilt or offer them at a blow-out price of $160 including shipping for those interested in an IB. My build-house is g...

    They really just use the latest generation Brahma motor, not a Tumult or Brahma clone.

      Is there any reason these wouldnt work optimally in a dipole?

        it seems to me thats what they are optimized for.

          The only thing you can't be sure of is whether there will be noise and turbulence at large excursion that would be objectionable in a dipole. If it's enough like the Tumult, then that might be some indication. I never heard one way or another about Tumults in dipoles, though.

              i want to pick a 15" up for a dipole sub as well. what would be the best way to achieve LFE if only using one driver? U-frame, H-frame? perhaps an isobaric would yield an acceptable size box... i can only afford one at the moment though. any ideas?

                actually i see in the link that they are the original brahma design- while the motor is designed 100% to spec. its nod built by adire

                  The problem with these drivers is that their T/S specs are really not well suited to small boxes, since their Qts and Vas are both fairly high. The excursion and power handling on this driver are good, though, so it should be able to survive a smaller than optimal sealed box with a linkwitz transform. You'd need an amp that's up to the challenge in order to get the driver to perform to its potential, but it's a possibility.

                  In order to get the most bass out of the driver in a dipole, you'd need to get the baffle as large as you can without causing a cavity resonance within the bandpass. If you have some time on your hands, Linkwitzlab is a great place to learn about dipoles. Here's a page with some relevance:
