Great woofer at a great price, but I have more stock than I need. Just looking for thoughts on the two. I would imagine the MCM is more geared towards a three-way.
Thanks Scott, I thought those turned out sounding really good. Much better midrange than I expected.
Mitchell, having used both drivers and I agree with you. They are both great drivers. I'd give the "Roemer" Bass edge to the MCM driver due to its better Xmax, but I've never heard it crossed above 600 Hz. So yes, great woofer for a 3 way.
I think the Peerless is an awesome woofer too. It might get slightly beat in the super low bass range but that Nomex cone just sounds great crossed up to 1500 Hz in my experience. At the sale price I need to seriously distract myself from buying 4 more of them.
On a side note.... PE selling them for %50 off shows us all about how much markup there truly is with drivers. I'm sure Stahl doesn't roll in a Kia.
I liked the stinger gt2 I tested quite a bit! Didn't handle *quite* as well as I'd like, but was very practical, comfortable, and fast in a straight line. A great GT car. Ended up with a Golf R because I could get one CPO easier and the stinger was too new for that, and also because the handling is substantially better & it's just as fast in a straight line. But I could easily live happily with the Stinger, and there were things about it I prefer.
Been trying to talk mama into a twin turbo, v-6, awd, Kia Stinger. She says she would rather have a minivan. WE WILL NEVER HAVE A MINIVAN!
I said the same thing before I had kids - the wife won that battle. We still have our 2003 Sienna for some reason. It only gets driven a few times a year, when one of the kids needs to move furniture at college. They abused the hell out of it and it eats tires, but it's the best engine Toyota ever made!
I love driving my wife's Town and Country. She loves it too. It almost drives itself. Tons of room. We can stow and go the rear seats and easily fit all four bikes in the back. I can stow and go the center row of seats too and fit full 4 x 8 sheets of MDF, plywood, drywall, etc. No need for pickup. It's quiet, rides smooth, and gets about 28 mpg. Ice cold A/C and decent factory stereo.
minivans doesn't look cool, but they are very comfortable and spacious - the inside is a complete opposite to the outside. i want a 4x4 lifted minivan on 35's.....

If I still cared how I look (I don't) I'd roll to the Home Depot in my supercharged, 8 second, hell on wheels, Mustang and just buy a bunch of 2' x 4' MDF handi panels and pay 3 times too much.

I'll have to find the baffle layout drawing and crossover schematic and post them up.
I see Stahl as possibly a used supercharged Jaguar guy.

1. Plastic faceplate. Guess I should have read a little closer.
2. They are now NLA it appears.
