Hi I am looking to use scan speak or usher speakers. They both look

the same but, the scan speak looks like it has more extras on it.

Does this make it a better driver? Are they going to up date there

carbon fiber drivers soon. Which is a better driver? Thanks jm

Can you be more specific? What drivers do you mean and can you post the measured response? How are they used? Two way/three way? What size are they, 8" 12"?

Yes this is the model number for the scan speak driver it is

18w/8545k a 7 inch carbon fiber/paper woofer. The usher is

8945a also a carbon fiber/paper woofer. The price diffrence is

$ 38.85. Is it really a diffrence in sound and extra bells and things

like for the scan speak sd-1 r3,kapton former a grasshopper castframe

does this really make a diffrence or is it just adding to the driver

to make it look like your getting more? The usher not to much going

on over there. A lot of people think it is a newer design of the same

driver. I am goin to use them in a ported box a 2 way. All for music

only. I have a hometheater set up so it will not be used for that.

I am looking at getting the woofer testerr 2 from parts express.

It seems to work really well and this is my 3rd speaker I am building

and want to get it right. Well if you want to know more just e-mail

me and I will try to get you the best answer I can. Thanks jm

I don't have first hand experience with the drivers but you may find this article helpful.
