DIY v.s Commercial designs - Pros and Cons.

Feel free to express yourself and your thoughts about the Single Driver design speakers in this thread.

Ideas, your projects, pics, experiances are all fun and welcome.

From my experiance with at least two SD commercial design that actually worked like a charm, I have to say that I am seriously concidering it as my next DIY project.

Awesome speakers when done right.

'Brines Acoustics' use the Fostex 8" F200a (as well as other cones) in his SD speakers. The F200a is a seriously good cone.
The prices are very reasonable. You can buy them fully made or in kit form.
I would like to hear a pair of his speakers.

I get confused with S-D phase angles but even S-D apparently change phase.
Here is one Jordan JX-92 so I don't know if they are as good as they claim.

What effect does this have on the sound/ Maybe Atmasphere will know.

Also people have noted that a ported S-D will not be coherent as the port is also out of phase. I don't know if this is true or not either.

Here are a couple of examples of small driver but still reasonable bass if volume is not too loud:
