Dbuns Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Hey everyone, I was just about to purchase some Dayton Audio PA460-8 18" from USA. But with the dollar drop and the uncertainty around cargo getting over here through this virus time, I’m not willing to import from US at the moment. I know The Loud Speaker Kit has them for $400 (significantly more than USA), and Wagner has the SB AUDIENCE BIANCO 18" but it is out of stock. Just wondering if anyone knows of some reasonable deals locally to build a VBSS with? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maz4bz Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 (edited) I believe the Peerless FSL-1830R03-08 ($256) is a better woofer in most respects than the Dayton PA460-8. If you head over to Parts Express you can use their compare check box tool to look at both drivers specs side by side. You'd likely need to fine tune the standard VBSS to suit this driver, just as you would with any substitute driver when not using the original specified Dayton. Good luck!

I think the whole SB Audience range is on back order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
