Re: RS 40-1354 Specs at last

That sounds about right. Two caveats though:

1) I tested drivers right out of the box. With some breakin the stiffness of the suspension will drop, lowering resonance and Q (10%?)and raising Vab (20%?). Should give very similar results though.

2) Used with no-feedback triode amps, the QE will increase due to the source impedance. Usually 30-50% increase results - see Eduardo deLima's articles in GA. That gives a much bigger box, but another 1/2 octave of bass. If you don't allow for this, the bass may be underdamped and boomy. I have no information on the excursion capability of these drivers, however - there's a limit to how much bass you want from a 6" woofer!
