In Reply to: RE: Is it worth upgrading this subwoofer driver posted by airtime on June 30, 2015 at 06:34:14
Ed and Dick know more than I, but if you not wanting, you've already fixed it.
Otherwise, you could spend more getting it right than buying a new or used one that does what you think is lacking.

Many of the less expensive, smallish box subwoofers rely greatly on the transfer function in the amp to actually make it work as a subwoofer.
Changing to the Kiega plate amp, may have broken that connection between amp and driver/enclosure.
Overall, I'd agree with your assessment though. Better to leave alone or start over with the plate amp and purchase a driver/enclosure combo.
Yeah, I hadn't actually thought about that. My subs have an EQ setup mode that actually works very well. It's not much of a leap the think that the original plate amp may have been tweaked.

I believe the plate amp WAS the weak link. After the Keiger I had less interest in upping the $$$$$ of a subwoofer.

Actually the original amp/driver sounded weak and "lazy". If that makes any sense??? And it had an annoying hump some where in the mid 40hz's that I was never able to get rid of.
With the Keiger amp it sounds much sharper, cleaner and better filtered. And darn if that hump went away as well. If any thing I was trying to tweak out the last 1% of my system. Believe it or not - I think I'm done!
Unless I win the lottery. Then it's LOOK OUT time!
thanks for all your replies.
