Anyone using the RS385 in a mid bass setup for sound reinforcement?

What's an RS385? -
Daytons new 15" woofer from parts express. Specs seems okay for mid bass and pretty good power handling as well.Comment

Got a link? I found several Dayton 385 models but no RS385.Comment

AFAIK, there's no such thing as a 15" Prosound RS385.
The RS (Reference Series) are all alu cone home audio drivers.
There's a 15" PF385 P/N 295-080. And it's 'new' if the definition of 'new' is 2003...

Sorry I misread it. It is a ST 385. Anyway what do you still think of it for mid bass?Comment

That looks like more of a budget sub driver than a midbass. Fs is 19Hz and Le is 4mH indicating high distortion if you go very high. The pro driver Thomas mentioned looks better at 2mH but it's still not state of the art. The really good pro 15" drivers like those from B&C and BMS have an Le of around 1mH indicating they can play a bit higher without motor distortion and all you have to worry about is cone breakup. Taking any 15" above 300Hz is kind of a crap shoot.Comment

Was wanting to go 50 to 250HZ. I have 2 ascendant audio atlas 15" in IB for the subwoofer. But I could go the RSS 315 HF or the RSS 390HF. My room is 3400cf. Thanks Dennis for looking in and helping out. PS: I already have 2 RS 270s but wanted 2 more but when I read some threads over at avsforum using bigger drivers it got me to thinking going larger.Comment
