reasonably priced 4ohm 15" driver with low Vas to use in a vented subwoofer?

[sadams]

Looking for a good reasonably priced 4ohm 15” driver to use in a vented box that is not as big as a Buick. I love Parts Express, but often times when I find a driver on their site that fits my needs it has been discontinued, the Dayton QT385-4 15 Quatro for example. This driver had a Vas of 5.89 for a 6.5cuft vented box with an f3 of 19 hz, and wonderful specs otherwise, all priced under $100. Does anybody know where I might find a similar driver? Maybe a better question is where else should I look other than parts express? Thanks

If you look in the GR Research forum at AudioCircle, you can find the driver used in the MFW-15 for $79. The Vas may be higher than you want, but otherwise it appears to be a single coil version of the Dayton DVC15. FWIW, Mark Seaton had a hand in designing the MFW-15 driver. Otherwise, with the exception of a buyout special, you're going to have a hard time fitting a decent 15" driver in your budget with today's copper prices.

You might try posting a WTB on the PE Tech Talk classifieds forum:

Perhaps a long shot, but you might be able to buy one used.

There is a guy on the eD forum selling a used 16Ov.2 for $80 plus shipping...... 16O's are no slouch.....
