AaronT Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 Well I was running 4 mesos, they all took a shit. Bought 4 DC m38s. I'm hoping they'll be all the mesos where in output and more. Although they use a 2" coil as opposed to the meso 2.4", and they use a 2 slug motor instead of 3 slug like mesos. But the DC's have 3mm more Xmax. Same enclosure recommendation. What's do you guys think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmwking Posted June 17, 2020 Report Share Posted June 17, 2020 how much power are you feeding them? are you accurately tuning below clipping? box built to spec? if everything is equal, I doubt you'll notice much of a difference Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronT Posted June 19, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 19, 2020 They'll be getting a t1500-1bdcp per pair of 8s. I clamped 1585 rising to 2.5 ohms with 7.5db overlap using a the -5db overlap track on Rockford's CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shane35fowler Posted June 20, 2020 Report Share Posted June 20, 2020 Look at the Savard Hi-Q8s and add another 2mm of Xmax. They are 40mm total. They also have a 2.5" VCD and around the same power handling. FS is higher tho than the DCs. 35 vs 41. Recommend to me by another member here and I am pretty excited to get them. Waiting for the 2DVC to come back in stock.

Savard is good though, they actually test all subs they get and give you its specific TS parameters Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn’t even got the enclosure built for the ones he has (he is trying to get triticum to design him an enclosure.) and has never physically heard them subwoofers and you blindly took his advice. Don’t get me wrong, they are good subwoofers. But don’t ever take advice from a noob that hasn’t even heard the product and is basing his advice off of what he has read online and a big d wiz video he watched about savard hi-q8s lol! I wouldn’t wait on them subwoofers when there are A BUNCH of better 8” subwoofers out there that are in that price range and available to order right now. “How can we help you?” “And don’t forget to tell them that the customer isn’t always right.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont make a habit of blindly listening to advise from anyone lol. I did my due diligence and am local to them so was able to listen to them. Even underpowered they sounded pretty good. But I don't own them yet. Ive never heard the Hutchinson ETA-8s either but I'm betting they sound pretty good. I picked up a pair of the Savard rap components and they sound damn good for the money. And Xmax is Maximum linear peak (or sometimes peak-to-peak) excursion of the cone.
