Dayton RS180S-8 7" Reference Shielded Woofer 8 Ohm

good detail with good low end extension

I have some custom-built boxes for an awkward shaped and angled room for movie and gaming entertainment. These speakers are dimenstioned exactly as advertised, and put out surprisingly distinct low's when placed into a 2.0 cuft bandpass enclosure. Excellent return in sound for a minimal expense.

You don't realize just how well made the RS-180s are until you have some hands on them.

I used these in a ported 2-way design by J.Kim. The cabinets are just 0.5 cu ft but I get frequency response down to below 35 Hz! That is phenomenal performance.

The key to using these high quality drivers is in the cross-over. This aluminum driver has twin peaks at 6khz and 8khz. Jay Kim's cross-over takes care of that issue nicely.

I highly recommend these with the caveat that the design of the cross-over must compensate for the peaks. When used properly these drivers will go very very low to give crisp deep bass and a distortion free mid-range.
