The five and a quarter inch dynavox can play to 3K easily and really only requires just a notch filter to roll it off. It has a nice natural roll off and the peak there is all you got to deal with.
Looks like it can also easily play down to 250-300 Hz in a 4-5 Liter enclosure with only 2 xo parts. It's not super voltage sensitive but after some BSC is applied it can play well with most 7, 8, or 10 in woofers. I wouldn't hessitate to use it in a 3 way.
I am not going to buy any but has anyone used the "Monster Deal of the Week" the Dayton MX12-22 subs? If I was still into loud car audio they do look like a great bargin. Just add a Class D 1000 watt amp with a pair of them.... Drop and Distance as we use to say
Those MX subs are probably a pretty solid performer, but I doubt they are any cleaner mm per mm than the $60 GRS - they just have a longer throw. From a HT perspective, two of the GRS is more useful for less money and similar output but can be spaced out to help even room modes.
That being said, if I owned a vehicle I could put a system in I would give serious consideration to the MX series.
Absolute Beast Mode dome midrange right there - ugly ass oval shit notwithstanding. 8mm gap and +/-2.4mm of linear Xmax! 5mm of mechanical throw so it should handle transients (children and volume knobs) pretty well. 280Hz Fs! This is a serious midrange - too bad it costs what a nice used car costs.
It's also 8" in diameter, so damn. Pretty weird overall. I'm not going to buy them, what am I going to do with 8" dome mids?
Read the link RON_E posted above and you will have a use for all 4 units and get an XO of around 450 Hz . . .
Yeah. Thanks. Yep, read up on all the "Double Stack" and "Extended Wings" experiments, but didn't pay them much "weight" since no one actually measured any results! So you got a lot of "wow, incredible", but no objective data!
I may yet use them in that manner, but they are 2-3 projects back in the queue at the moment.
But Chahly - Stahkist don't want speakers that look good, Stahkist wants speakers that sound good!

No sir.

Probably going to do this.

I'd rather have a Belisma dome mid.
84mm isn't 8 inches, it's 3.3 inches.

Edge to edge of the faceplate is 210mm.
I missed that. I guess I won't be buying a pair then. ;-)

Match those up with these tweeters - https://www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/diamond-dome-tweeters/seas-excel-t29d001-diamond-dome-tweeter-matched-pair/
I feel like you’re mad if you don’t pair it with the ellipticor tweeter.

Looks like they can cross as low as 700 Hz . . .
1 Pair just sold
Dang!!
Not sure I've ever heard the ESS. Anyone have measurements?
No measurements, but they sound pretty good in Adams dipole units.
Hey Ken, answer your PM😛
Pretty ...
I've got 2 pair in storage .
Measured this in dipole mode - monopole measurement was about the same.
How old are those units, rjj45?
I found this thread. I owned a pair of the original AMT 1 speakers when they came out and liked the AMT driver. I'm tempted to pick up a pair.

They are probably smiling and enjoying instead of trying convince everyone else with data . . .

Not exactly deal of the day but I just found out that PE is still selling some of the discontinued Peerless drivers through their Ebay store.
