A picture says a thousand words. Ten years old and finally killed by DTS-HD Master Audio. This is the driver from a ASW 2000. Have ordered a replacement from B&W and then it will be as good as new :B

Gosh !!! How loud are you playing that poor sub??. Must have been a helluva' explosion !!! :E . Is that a 12 inch driver??.Dan Madden :T -
Don't feel bad, the passive driver on my Sunfire came apart late this summer. Subs take a violent beating in today's LFE over-driven movies, heh.Comment

The picture is not super clear, is the white stripe on the top where the rubber surround pulled off the driver? Was it a case of being over driven or had the driver reached its life expectency or a combination of the two. Being from the ASW series it would make it approx 10 years old? As you said, not bad for todays dynamic LFE.

Yes it is a 12 inch driver. Sub is actually about 12 years old so really lasted a long time given the punishment of LFE. Only $200 with shipping for the new driver (bass unit).Originally posted by madmac
Kevin- Exactly. The speaker cone came away from the rubber.

Can someone describe t me how a low Qts driver sounds compared to a higher Qts driver?
My understanding is "Q" describes a driver's behavior around resonance (Fs), and that a low Q driver has a wider range of resonance than a higher Q driver, meaning a low Q driver at a frequency close... -

There are 2 wires exiting the amp and 4 terminal posts on the driver. I want to make sure I wire the driver correctly!
My assumption is amp red to driver red 1, driver black 1 to driver red 2, driver black 2 to amp black.
Does that make sense (hopefully, and if so) and... -
I am curious as to what experiences have been with venting an enclosure in close proximity to the frontface of the driver. For instance, what would be the difference between an enclosure that vented the backwave of the driver immediately aroud the driver face, versus say at the bottom of the same face...26 February 2006, 16:30 Sunday
