hy guys...in your opinion...what do you think,the Warden from specs and motor point of view is in the same spl class woofers with the DDz...so i would like to know for example...can a 18" warden keep up with the DD 9918z in a spl comp???

nice woofer man...BUT..the enclosure it's way too small for a 15"..and the ports too....go and build a bigger box(110-130L without port and driver) with one bigger port and tune it 30-32 hz..and you'l get all that woofer can offer.

i i'm sure that you forget to set the subsonic somewhere in the 30 hz area....if the subsonic was near 15hz set than you reached the mechanical limits of the driver.i'm sure the wardens reach 25hz easy...but controlled...too much power under the freqvency tuning of the box and "bye bye warden(or altmost any other driver)"

i'm very interested in some test too.......and to be honest i have great expectations ......

depends very much how the enclosure is build.and...if they where 2x12" LI vs 1x15" LI...you all would be right...BUT...in this case it's about 2x12"LI vs 1x15" DR..the LI motor is weaker than DR's...it's another kind of driver..u can't put those in the same class...the superior cone area of the LI's are anihilated by the superior strength of the DR motor...from my experience i would say that in the proper enclosure and frec. tuning 1x15" DR would give bigger output...and would sound more clear,more correct and much more low than 2x12" LI...

no...the DD's are rated(abnormaly) at 1500 rms....and the rest of the specs....3" voice coil both...neo columns motor...hand-crafted...stiff spiders...in my opinion..if nick developed a very performant cooling sistem/technology for the voice coil(and i hope so)..i think at least on the paper the Warden should be right beside the DDz in performance...at least until the 10kw rms barrier is broken..or i hope Warden is a more eficient driver than te DDz and in this case the superior thermal capabilities of the DDz and probably higher power level absorbed without failure will not count as much as it did until now...so...i want to see some ideas on that...
