Would you advocate replacing the speaker in the Citronic sub with something of a higher quality and greater excursion capabilities -Xmax?

 

But Shirley that defeats the object of buying a cheap sub?

Now who would go and do that ay ...

Cough ....  this is exactly what i was looking for as i want to avoid Rack gear and  it looks simply enough conceptually would you look at that its fallen off ebay ... 

Now ... I guess i have to decide what  at frequency im crossing .... perhaps because its running to a dedicated  bass amp rather than a sub it should shoot a little higher to 100 /120 rather than 80 ?

 

So, three months later, did this work for you?

From John @Chienmortbb recent review of his system ( 2 x Wharfdale Typhon 8's) he invested in a second Citronic Casa 10 sub to achieve the performance he was seeking. Wishing to use just one sub, it seemed an idea to upgrade the speaker in a light , well made cab and panel amp. On my radar would be the next step up from the Citronic Casa 10 to a Alto TX12S to match the Alto TS408s. But would I achieve similar performce from a £100 speaker upgrade?

That was the basis of seeking John and Phil's opinions.
