Hi guys
I have a B&W AS6 subwoofer and the driver is looking a little tired.
Was wondering if I could replace the driver with a JBL GT5-12.
The B&W AS6 specs as follows
Power rating : 100W RMS into 5 ohms continuous
Frequency response : 30Hz - 40 / 140Hz +/- 3dB
Dimensions [ W x D x H ]: 450 x 455 x 508mm
2 X 60mm ports
Is a 5ohm spec unusual ?
JBL GT5-12 specs
Power handling, RMS 250W
Power handling, peak 1100W
Frequency Response 23Hz ? 450Hz
