Could somebody pass me a moist towelette, plase? Thanks..
Incidently, the driver looks similar to the HE15 basket, but definitely not identical. Wondering how this driver compares to the BP1203 driver! Both are true monsters, that's for sure!
Yeah, it is reminiscent of the HE15 (also TC Sounds, I believe), definitely a good sign. I'd expect that it (at least) would have a lower Fs than the 29Hz of the Blueprint, since this has been designed specifically for reflex use with a tuning of 18-20Hz.
(No post is complete without some conjecture, so...)
As far as putting it in an Ultra, I'd expect the most improvement in the 25-30Hz region, where excursion would be at a maximum, the output mostly dependent on the driver. (Said region arguably being the heart of ht bass, it's probably where such an improvement would be most valuable, of course.) If I recall correctly, TV was already measuring some port compression, albeit at very high levels, with the TV-12 driver in the Ultra as it approached its limits, so porting might be the limiting factor in such a driver substitution, with not as much of an increase at Fb as up higher.
You know, we could finish one to match your Definitive's....
Just a thought ;^)
Do remind the wife Christmas is coming up though eh?
WOW!! Thats the first time ive ever seen Ron pitch his own sub!
Now we DO still have a set of prototype gloss-black SS parts sitting around here somewhere....
Ron: if you do, and if they'd fit my Ultra, wanna sell them?
Terry...how's it hanging?
the new driver is harder to bottom out,although I can do it. If I run TPM at 6dB over reference(with all speakers set to small) using a single SS...The driver reaches it's limits.
Having dual mirrored 9.8" spiders tied to the underhung motor,and 8 layers of vc seem to be working ok though

Been doing great, trying to stay employed in this crappy economy. Luckily I survived two rounds of layoffs so far, but I must be doing something right as they gave me a raise!
Been working on my cars and making them unique to me. Bought a new Mustang in spring and just bought a new Yukon for the wife and put 20" wheels and a killer stereo. I have it loaded up with a Sonosub Mass 2012 no less, 2ft3 tuned to 28hz. Here are some pics.
