Arash Posted April 28, 2014 Share Posted April 28, 2014 (edited) Hi dudes actually I'm developing a speaker, something like Cornscala style D but I don't wanna use CW1526C (I don't have access to them) instead I have access to Faital Pro driver for good price. I want your opinions about which Faital Pro 15" woofer is the best for this application? the XO would be 500HZ and I'm going to use H140 and Tractrix horn. the cabinet could be something like CS internal volume or maybe a bit taller and narrower and smaller if the woofer t/s allows. any experience with Faital pro 15" woofer? 15PR400 looks good: http://www.usspeaker.com/faital%20pro%2015PR400-1.htm it models extremly well in an ~220liter BR cabinet which I think CS internal volume is something like that. any idea?

ClaudeJ1 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 Are the models the same in the US as in Italy? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClaudeJ1 Posted April 29, 2014 Share Posted April 29, 2014 You probably want to look at mass rolloff. You want low Q and High BL for 500 Hz. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would go for the 4 ohm version if you are doing a passive Xover to a horn. Direct radiators need all the help they can get to keep up with horns, heck even horn loaded woofers in general need help since the mids are always most efficient. Looks good to me. I would buy that.

ClaudeJ1 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 In general, Faital Pro makes some really great stuff. They rock the world of Neo magnets, which will save you weight, just like the touring rock bands with flying arrays. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arash Posted April 30, 2014 Author Share Posted April 30, 2014 thanks man yeah Faital Pro driver are among the best I'm optimistic about this model but wanted your opinions before putting the cash on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djk Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 " You want low Q and High BL for 500 Hz." Not for a Cornscala you don't. It's not a good idea to go below a Qts=0.3 for a reflex box. The optimum Qts for a vented box, considering efficiency, bass extension, and box size is a Qts=0.312 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
