    GPA 416-8C or 515-C in ported box?

    Hi,
    i am thinking about building a ported box with either the actual GPA 416-8C
    http://www.greatplainsaudio.com/downloads/416_8C.pdf

    or the actual GPA 515-C
    http://www.greatplainsaudio.com/downloads/515_C.pdf

    I will use them in a 2-way setup with x-over @~700Hz.

    Does anyone have some experiences with those new woofers?
    How reliable are the T/S parameters?


    Kind Regards

    Can only comment about the GPA 515-8G's measured specs sent to me, which so far has been as good or slightly better overall than published.............

    Seems reasonable, the 360 is much too big and tuned too low for a 'G'.

    I don't see where he actually tells us anything useful WRT its specs, performance.
