    I'm picking up a mint Speedwoofer 10U on the 6th and was wondering for those who have had the pleasure of hearing the 10U what are your thoughts?

    Design Acoustics D-12 subwoofer?

    Blew one of the subs in my beloved Design Acoustics D-12s. It's a 10" sub with butyl surround, 8 ohm. Relatively unmarked, only serial numbers (DWA6 C5810305) – but I know it should be a CTS sub. Anyone know a replacement? I absolutely love these and need them firing again!
