- If the T/S numbers they quote are accurate, you'd find it hard to beat
- the Kicker (Stillwater Designs) "Solobaric" drivers. Using their T/S
- numbers, the S-12 will have an F3 (down 3 dB) of 36 Hertz and an F10
- (down 10 dB) of 22 Hertz in a 1.5 cubic foot box! That's a lot of
- bass in a very small box. Use some MDF for the box and veneer it so
- that you can stand to look at it.
-
- The driver's expensive though, listing at $299. It's regularly
- discounted.
-
- If anyone has actually used the S-12, I'd like to hear your
- impressions.
