Hey guys, so a good friend of mine has a pair of Nexo RS15s installed in his venue. He powers them with the the recomended NXamp.

Originally he planned on installing 4, buttt budget ran short. 2 years later he'd like to commission me to build a pair of subs to accompany them, and ideally I'd like to get as close as possible to nexo offering as possible, in terms of response, size, power handling, and more importantly, phase response, so we'll be sticking with a 2x15 ported box. (a wave to people who recognize me from prosoundforums now, they are not too keen on the diy)
Now, I stumbled upon this pdf
http://nexo-sa.com/attachments/produ...pare-parts.pdf
Based on the drawing, I've narrowed the driver down to 2 possible offerings from B&C, the B&C 15NW76 and the B&C 15NDL76, due to the shape of the frame and magnet assembly. I tend to think its the 15NW76 givin the greater powerhandling and xmax, it seems to be a better match to the specs of the RS15 datasheet. If anyone has any info to share, I could surely use it (esp if I'm "totally off" in my assumptions)
I initially thought it would be one of the nicer BC drivers like the 15sw115 based upon recomendations over from Prosoundweb etc ("its NEXO, must be buku dollar drivers"), but am glad to find that its a little more in reach $ wise.
I've found the BC 15NDL76 for 239 a piece
B&C 15 NDL76 is a lightweight 15" woofer for 2 or 3-way speaker systems. B&C 15 NDL76 Speakers - B&C 15" 15 NDL76 woofers for speaker systems. B&C 15 NDL76 speakers available now.
the B&C 15NW76 for 307
B&C 15NW76 15" Driver
and the "ceramic equivalent" the 15fw76 for 238
B&C 15FW76 Low Frequency Driver
I'm going to start modelling all 3 of these in winisd shortly... however I was wondering if anyone was familiar with any better retail locations for these drivers, given I'll need four of em. I've designed a couple different ported boxes, but not held myself to such strict constraints before. Any help at all would be greatly appreciated, but regardless... I'll likely be documenting my results here.
