So I picked up 4 empty boxes from a production company and I'm needing to purchase and install new LF drivers. My existing 4 - SB750 boxes have DEFINIMAX4018LF drivers installed and I've wired them to be 4ohm
Is there a driver(s) out there that are comparable to the Definimax4018LF? Or should I just source out the same drivers I have? All the subs will be going through my UX processor.
I understand that going with a different brand/model may have different characteristics but not entirely sure..

Ideally all boxes should be loaded with the same drivers.

Going with the UX processor, I'd DEFINITELY want all boxes the same, preferably with the EAW spec drivers.
Were the Definimax drivers you have OEM, or recommended by EAW ?

EAW LC-1816 is the driver you want for the touring version of that sub.
It's a rebranded 18Sound 18LW1400.

The install model used another driver.

Of the 4 - sb750 cabinets I currently have working, they are all Definimax4018.
I'm thinking I would like to keep it all the same on the 4 new empty boxes coming.

Good to know! Interestingly enough, that driver (EAW LC-1816) is less expensive than the Definimax4018!
List on Definimax is $329.00
EAW LC-1816 coming up as 285.00 from True Heart sound

But then you will need sixteen of the EAW drivers compared to eight of the Definimax in order to have all drivers the same in the eight subs.

Doing things right is never the least expensive option.  Have you ever measured the subs?

...it never is!

I haven't measured my current SB750 yet, but I can.
The 4 empty boxes are set to arrive in 10 days.

I mean take measurements with SMAART, REW or Sound Tools (from Studio Six Digital) to see how far you are from the factory drivers.  It could be better it could be worse.  In God we trust all others bring data.
