sean5340 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 TheEar, If you have some time, could you recommend a 15" driver. I am currently using a Dayton Titanic III in a ported enclosure. Gross box volume is 7.04 ft3. Port is 6" x 33.5". Enclosure is 3/4" MDF. The amp is the rack mount Dayton 1000 rms. Current cut out is 14 1/16". Currently setup downfiring with port to the front. (I have 2 of these built only 1 w/driver) I am happy with the Dayton but want to upgrade. I mostly listen to 2 channel audio and occasionally watch a movie. Thanks in advance Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted June 25, 2008 Author Share Posted June 25, 2008 The Dayton Titanic III has ~21mm of Xmax one way,installing a driver with 30mm of one way will increase velocity of air in the port and reveal port noise. Sound quality wise a Acoupower 15" or CSS SDX15 would be upgrades,the SDX15 is only ~$ 250. The Acoupower is around $800. The Acoupower would be underpowered as it is a 8Ohm driver. The Dayton you have would supply ~500W. SQ wise you would gain but not in a major way.The Acoupower needs a solid 1KW at 8 Ohms,I would recomend 1.5KW at 8 Ohms.

sean5340 Posted June 25, 2008 Share Posted June 25, 2008 Thanks for the reply. I think I'll try the CSS in the other box. Would there be an advantage running both at 500 watts? If so I may go with another Dayton. Sean Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheEAR Posted June 26, 2008 Author Share Posted June 26, 2008 IMO you would be much better off with a EP2500 power amp (~300-$330) and a eD subwoofer PEQ($100). You beat the doors off the Dayton amp in flexibility and power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
