Sovereign 12-500 LF : Awesome Mid and Low driver

I'm using it both as a subwoofer driver and as a top driver.

This thing totally astonished me for the price, the sound reproduction of it is amazing, and you really can't complain about the build quality either.

Performance as a subwoofer driver:

I didn't expect such a clear and deep sound, especially since the manufacturer's specifications claim a response from 38Hz to 5kHz, but i can totally see where the "LF" part in the name is coming from, in the subwoofer enclosure i use it in it's playing loud and deep down to about 30Hz, which amazed me quite a bit.

Performance as a Top/Fullrange cab mid driver:

It's playing very clean and accurately (this will ofcourse depend on your enclosure) up to the claimed 5kHz

It also sounds very lovely, every detail i wanted it to have, it actually does have.

The only thing it's missing just a little bit is ruggedness/build quality, be sure to not screw it in too hard or you'll bend the mounting part of the basket.

Otherwise, i do recommend this driver alot.

Pro's:

- Very clean and nicely sounding driver

- Nice and clean bass/mids

Cons:

- Mounting place for the basket is kind-of bendable
