It has a stiff cone. It has dual 3" voice coils. It has a dubble spider. Here is what is bad about it: This is an old school design. That magnet system will be obsolete soon. It has a foam surround. It has a small cone area compared to its advertised size. This design is a spin-off of Aurasound designed subwoofers, which have a new technology magnet. Generally copied stuff will drop off the market. IMO I wouldn't buy this woofer. There's no future for this woofer. I would like to see the complete specs on it. I would then be able to give you a better opinion. |

It has a foam surround." Do you honestly think that because the sub has an "old school design" it's bad? "That magnet system will be obsolete soon." - Do you meen motor?, because last time I checked the magnets usually don't differ a ton on subs. "It has a foam surround." - That meens nothing. A lot of your top-end subs use foam surround. Guess what the W7's and the X.X.X's use? Foam allows for more excursion than rubber, and it's a myth to think that foam doesn't last very long, and breaks down after a little while. |

Silver Member Username: TheelfkeeperStockbridge, GA USA Post Number: 287 Registered: Feb-05 | the only bad point i notice at a glance is the cone. its got a huge surround like audiobahns, but a really small effective cone area. |

Gold Member Username: InvainMichigan United States Post Number: 1961 Registered: Aug-04 | Yeah, I didn't say anything about the cone, because I can't actually see the sub... lol. I thought we had come to an agreement that we post the item numbers for ebay stuff, and not the links. The links don't work for most people. |

Just beware a lot of chrome, huge, ineffective surrounds, magnet size boasting, and so forth as most are more about pulling wool over your eyes than actual performance. Most high end equipment is pretty average looking, just looking at Adire Audios stuff, or Dynaudio, etc. wouldn't impress people for looks. Anywho, I haven't dealt with Niche Audio yet to tell you anything. |
