I can't stop fiddling with my subwoofer :rolleyes:

Although I guess a new driver isn't just a minor "fiddle"...


This is the bottom of the sub as it was...




Can you guess which is the new one?



And here she is in her new home


Those drivers look a LOT smaller than they actually are in those photos... Should have put a CD on them or something for comparison... They're 12" in diameter.

I got the new driver for free, all I had to do is pay postage, which is pretty cool!

It's a proper home cinema sub driver, unlike the car sub I was using, which means it delves deeper in the frequency range It goes down to about 23Hz if I remember correctly. Specifications are here if you wanna have a look.

It doesn't sound a whole lot different, but I can immediately tell it goes deeper. It hits harder too!

My mum mentioned after I had finished testing that the radiators downstairs in the living room were resonating...

All in all, lovely jubly! Just gotta fix the driver in properly (it's held in with 2 screws at the moment ) and make a few minor tweaks to the enclosure/positioning, but it's all good
