I picked up the sb12cacs25-8, thinking of using them with Viawave RT850.
I've got the 4 ohm version in a two-way that's a parallel of the little SB Micro speakers that I believe Marvin had at DIY Iowa. I really wanted to hop over to DIY Iowa with them to get a comparison with the AL version, but way too many cords were pulling on me that day. A Viawave pairing should be fabulous.
Heck - I still haven't put those nice SEAS mid-woofers (and many others) to use, so it's not like I'll be running out of useful parts any time soon. Just sad to see Peerless go the way of Dynaudio and Usher.
Yeah, that's a biggun. About 10 lbs to heavy and definitely to deep. I'm sure if ya have the room it'll do the deed. I'm not worried about the 8 ohms, couple hundred watts is fine for my system.

I took the easy way out. I will just build a sealed box for it in the cargo area. Seems like a really nice sub. Definitely not a shallow mount.
Definitely not a DOTD... more of a gripe actually. I was looking through PE's latest flyer "The sounds of the season". Literally half of the 36 pages have zero sale prices at all and some of the other 16 that do only have one or two things on sale.
I see that the Lepai LP-2020TI is on sale now for $32.98! Regular price is $34.98. I bought one a few years ago for ~$16.00. They may have been on sale for even less? Off rant now.
I noticed the same thing too. Out of 5 the pages of drivers for home use, almost all shown are Dayton and none are on sale. 2 pages of car drivers - no sale pricing there either. First they went from 20% sale pricing years ago to 10% the last few years - now they are at 0% plus inflation pricing.
I just ordered a UM12-22 - not a cheap piece of gear at $237. Expected to find the standard PE coupons for future discounts.
WAAH. Nothing in the box. Times are tight it seems.
But Chahly - Stahkist don't want speakers that look good, Stahkist wants speakers that sound good!
I belong to Santa Fe Makerspace, and a friend there printed out 4 of the Vifa XT25 adapters for the Visaton 148 waveguides. I just ordered Qty 4 of the XT25 beast mode tweeters. Gonna have some fun! But that future project is way down in the stack.

I tried to get it but had to reset my password and they disappeared from my cart by the time I was done.
My bad

That should sound VERY good!

Damn...missed out again! Had I known, I would have jumped all over them.
Well you know me Tom... there is a 50/50 chance they will be on the swap meet table at Iowa next year

Score! Been looking for a shallow mount neo motored sub for the car. Thanks for posting👍🏼
I have been also. But the 8 ohm impedance, and that I have another 10" still in the box, stopped me.
What ten you have?

Got it today, really bitchin design! It'll probably get installed next year. Hopefully metal prices won't be to much worse.

I found a PE discount code at one of the online sites for 10% 2 days ago.

Recent PE sale emails have had 2 coupons attached to them.
InDIYana Event Website
Interesting! I must conclude "Dad always liked you better"
Went back to September emails, and no coupons found in my inbox. Oh well....
I received my PE order today and it had a coupon inside for Oct, Nov, Dec.
$20 off $200 order with code NOV2022
$15 off $150 order with code DEC2022

Thanks Ron! My box must have been packed on a Monday morning....
Or a Friday afternoon...
