Subject: Why is this so hard?


I am looking to build a sealed subwoofer for my HT and hifi system.
I'm trying to find a decent driver close to .7 Qts. I am so overwhelmed
with driver options at .4 that I may club myself in the face with a
hammer.

Am I being mocked because I want a driver with a higher Qts?
Seriously, I feel like a leper.

I have found some drivers with adequate t/s, but there is usually a
snag.

Sound splinter RL-M15 - Unfortunately I can't really find this speaker
only its lower Qts counterpart the RL-P15. and that doesn't help me
much.

Macrom tf12f - I can't find this speaker either. This driver quest feels
like I'm hunting bigfoot.

Soundstream PWS15 - This speaker I can find and I'm excited by the
specs, but I am a little uneasy because it has a rubber spider on the
cone and a $90 price tag.



The PWS15 looks like the perfect sub on paper - Qts: .710 Vas: 117L
Fs: 28Hz Freq Res: 25-500Hz. Would I be stupid to put this $90 car
sub into a hi end home system? It just feels off. Has anyone used
soundstream drivers, esp the PWS? Are there other high quality drivers
at .7 Qts?


. . . or is everyone just scratching their heads trying to figure out why
someone would want anything but a .4 Qts driver. . .
