Fi Audio : Custumize Custimize We Can Do Anything. 22" Vd Is Equivalent To A Pair Of 18s

Anyone know what the cutout is for the 22" baskets?

1 188 isnt equal to 2 18s more like 2 15s

cone area alone is slightly more than two 15s, but i did see scott post on a home theater forum that the total volume displacement is the same as two 18s.

cutout 20.75 im my guess, we'll see if im close later

thank you! I agree.

" We have already tooled the basket. This isnt being done solely for IB applications as it is such a niche market and the tooling costs would never be recovered. We should have gasket samples for it in a couple more weeks and the surround sample after that.

IB seems to be a natural fit for a 22" driver as enclosure volume is of little concern (hard to aesthetically integrate a "refrigerator" of an enclosure into the living room).

VD is equivalent to a pair of 18s. We will havet o go to the Q series motor to keep qts in line, but still a good way from being twice the cost of the current IB3 18s.

Only have the one basket to approve now... so I have other samples to make with it before the IB first... but Ill get to it

Thanks,

Scott "

I'm thinkin the same thing, and, I hear the Xmax is going to be the same (I took the comment to mean Xmax was increasing to make up for what Sd doesn't)
