I must level with you. That woofer isn't a sub. It might be a fine midwoofer, because it is tuned like so many others that have been designed to run in 75-150 liter boxes tuned to 35-40Hz. This has become a defacto standard tuning for prosound midwoofers, and it works great for mains where the woofer will be used down to 40Hz or 60Hz or so. But it's really not the best choice for use as a dedicated subwoofer.




I understand. I think I need collect some money for LAB12-s...

The LAB12 is a competent driver. And in North America, it is inexpensive too, so it's a good option. But if it is expensive where you are, don't hesitate to look for other options. Look at subs from Peerless or SEAS, for example.

That's fine. A lot of the small sub drivers are used in cars.
