I have yet to see this woofer mentioned any where on this site. I would like some feed back on this I'm thinking of using 4 of them for my IB setup.

I have yet to see this woofer mentioned any where on this site. Really? There are dozens and dozens of projects using them and their Adire Tempest equal. Many of the builds were documented on the old version of the forum and lost when we changed forum software and the archives were corrupted. For years they were the only reasonably priced 15"s available. Their late 1990's driver design is a little dated but serviceable    |

It's also listed in this comparison chart: pages.sbcglobal.net/ginmtb/woofer_comparison_chart.htmYou might read the two threads discussing the Blueprint drivers and the "best currently available ib drivers" as there are a number of members sitting on their hands right now waiting/hoping for either the FiCar IB3 18 or the AE IB15 to go back into production. |

It seems to be the only 'dedicated' IB driver available at such a cost as the standby's I've seen have been discontinued (AE) or currently unavailable (Fi). I read somewhere that at a discounted price, they wouldn't be bad choice.
I also noticed the Dayton RSS390HF-4 15" Reference HF and it looked to model the same as the IB385, except less efficient. I thought it looked like a contender if it was discounted (it sometimes is).
The Dayton DCS380-4 15" Classic is very affordable, but has limited xmax. Any thoughts on it for a 4x15" manifold, or would it be too limited and so require too many additional drivers?

FYI:
Fi now has IB3 drivers available to order, while the IB385 is currently sale priced.
