I wanted to get a take on the “lab 12 MKII” vs. the Dayton “Titanic MKIII” subwoofers. They look somewhat equivalent, and I should be able to squeeze them into the cabinet. The Titanic looks like it would give you a lower frequency response, but I am not sure about the spec's. I think it would put some ware on the driver in a lab12 cabinet, limiting how much you could push it.
Could someone a bit more knowledgeable take a look and comment accordingly? (both are on parts express website)
Thanks..

If you want a drop-in alternate, look at the Quattro QT305-4.
The Titanic's Qms is too low. Per Tom Danley you need for the Qms to be >9. The Vas and Qes are pretty close. Xmax is respectable at 10MM. About $40 less, stamped frame and lower power handling are the trade offs for the lower cost.

That driver is discontinued.
The whole "Let's build a giant horn sub for max performance then cripple it's output with a $60 driver" just kind of defeats the whole purpose, doesn't it?
PS-there is a driver better than the LAB12 but I can't tell you what it is.
