Just a quick find, always looking for little midranges for mounting high

TangBand W3-315D

Aluminum/magnesium cone
Rubber surround
Cast frame
Fs = 105Hz
87dB 1W/1M
xmax = 1mm (hey, it's a midrange)
18 bucks (!)

Anybody know a good magnesium cone midbass to match? :wink:

Hi Jeff, i was just looking at the TB today and got a bit confused with the sample FR from PE... http://www.partsexpress.com/pdf/264-811g.pdf
FR doesnt look too good past ~3.5khz... quite different from the FR posted by TB...???

Let me just say this ... I've recently got my hands on a variety of very interesting 3" drivers, samples of which will soon be sent our friendly neighborhood tester.

 

[newtitan]

Me too...

 

[Finleyville]

Me too...

Me three!!

I just found these two last night on PE which i've never seen before...
Titanium cone Bamboo cone underhung design with shorting ring... and i can fit either one on my stock dash location...

 

[racerraul]

Ooooh... the bamboo one looks nice... "Me Likey the look of phase plugs!!!"
You gonna try either one, Leo?

No graphs on the site yet

 

[300Z]

I would like to but it will have to wait... not a priority at this point...
+ i want to see some data about those drivers first...

 

[blackreplica]

0.5mm xmax on both those drivers unfortunately. The 1231SH i was talking about is the only one with 1.25mm xmax.I dont think theres a shorting ring in the 1335SH though. WHY MUST THERE ALWAYS BE TRADEOFFS!!!!

 

[300Z]

You don't need a lot of excursion for midrange but it sure would nice if it had like at least 1mm...

I wish it was 1mm, then i would have got the titanium cone version you linked to instead me want 200Hz crossover point

seriously, i wonder if it's too much to ask for something with a great motor, a shorting ring, decent xmax and sensitivity...sigh
