HERETIC Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Anyone know if its possible or practical to replace a ksw-12 woofer w/ a rsw-12 woofer? Will it fit? Would it work? Etc... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scp53 Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 the ksw12 and rsw12 drivers are different. they don't have the same parameters etc. so the rsw12 wont work in a cab that the ksw12 was deisigned for. and the amp for the ksw12 may be eq'd so the rsw12 wont sound right with it. scp53 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 As was said,not the same parameters,the RSW12 woofer would be underpowered by the KSW12 amp,probably not sound right in the KSW12 cabinet and be wasted. You want RSW performance,get a RSW.You do not make a BMW M5 from a Toyota Corolla with a M5 motor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This ******* yesterday tried to run me off the road in his benz and he ****ed up my bmw. I gota file a report with the chp now. He did not like my speeding by him after he flipped me off for driving slow (which was the speed limit, mind you) so i owned him with my V8 and he literally tried to side swipe me as I passed him, Sent my car into the gravel and over the curb (2000 740iL). After about 5 minutes of following him I got his plate #. It was very hard because he kept break checking me on the damn freeway in heavy traffic. If I had a gun with me, I would have shot him. Its a good thing i dont own one. And if he would have stopped, I would have killed him with my bare hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can buy a gun at walmart... but you can't buy a lap danse. I'd just say your priorities are in the wrong place... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sublime40 Posted September 17, 2004 Share Posted September 17, 2004 No Lap Dances? What communist part of the US do you live in? I think I'll stay in Indiana so I can have my guns and lap dances. Maybe Michael Moore would like to see my S&W? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tpg Posted September 19, 2004 Share Posted September 19, 2004 Actually... the idea might be feasible. A woofer is designed to be vented or sealed mostly... and PR is a form of venting (along with porting). Some woofers work extremely well when sealed and at the same time work even better when ported. They work ok with PR. Others I have seen work well ported and even better with PR, but rolloff really soon sealed. I have been doing a HUGE amount of testing and modeling lately as I am trying to build the "ultimate" subwoofer... extreme SPL, extreme low bass, etc. My current design will yield about 113dB at 20Hz anechoic... so do I hear peaks of up to 130dB in room? Anyway... The point was that the RSW is vented also. So, it might (and probably) would work fairly well. Might require re-tuning the box, though. You'd need the T/S parameters to figure everything up. All woofers aren't just plug and play... they are very picky and want what they want or else. See if you can't find the specs for the RSW woofer and model the box up. If you have an RSW woofer or have access to one for cheap, whatever, go ahead and try it in the KSW box. You might be pleasantly surprised or you might hate it... Odds are, though, that the RSW woofer won't perform as well in the KSW box as it would in the RSW box, but it may be better than the KSW woofer. Power is definitely an issue... You never know until you try (or model it). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
