[QUOTE="PsyCLown, post: 985931, member: 12654"] Is it currently in a sealed enclosure and are you able to get any TS parameters on the current driver? I'd have no problem building a new enclosure for the sub, although keep in mind being sealed there is a good chance the original amp had some EQ built into it - I had this on a ported subwoofer I use to own. There was some bass boost low down, so you may lose out on that unless you have some way of adding eq? So basically a new enclosure and amp may not provide the same experience and may even be slightly worse extension. Alternatively, I haven't had much luck in sourcing home audio drivers locally but there are plenty of car audio subwoofers out there and some go for a decent price 2nd hand on the Facebook groups. One of those may work better than reusing this driver. Sealed is awesome, however I wouldn't want a sealed subwoofer without my DSP's, or some form of EQ. A 12" driver in 60L in a car works alright thanks to the cabin gain, in a house it can be a bit underwhelming depending on what you're wanting to achieve. Edit: If it were me, I don't think I'd buy a replacement plate amp. Sent from my Redmi Note 7 Pro using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
