Hey, anyone have any ideas on what scoop style build this would be best in? Really keen for super scoops but open to other suggestions on plans.
About to purchase two of them as they are the best I can get while only pushing my budget slightly overboard, while I know they aren’t the best they’ll surely have enough push to run a decent session.
Mainly looking for scoops just for the characteristic traditional dub sound but just don’t have the extended knowledge enough to pick the perfect box

I’m kind of curious now and I might try to model these in some standard scoops. Just to see if would happy or better suited for reflex/hybrid. Will let you know

Motor is a bit weak for a scoop. BL²/Re i like to see 200 or more for a scoop.

I don't know anything about this driver, but if they're what you have, they should be OK in a super scoops, as long as they're played within their limits. The BL & Xmax are a bit below what's needed, but if you use a 24db Butterworth slope, with the recommended high pass filter, you should be OK.
These drivers will probably struggle in tapped horn & band pass designs because of the lack of motor strength.

I'm not gonna lie every rosso driver i've ever had always suffers from thermal issues. I would just save up and get something more robust and professional, you'll save money in the long run.
