    Yup, that’s the one. Not many know about Peerless, or that they supply drivers for a large number of speaker manufacturers. I’m a big fan of the driver and the brand; great value, solid performance, quality drivers. I’ve had it in a few different configurations but am currently running it with a trio of CSS APR12’s with something like 800 grams of weight on each. Puts tuning at around 17hz F3 measured in box with my DATS noting the resonance peaks. One is plenty but I have a pair of them to smooth out room nodes. Knocked the power down to 525 RMS each from a Crown XLS and they still boogie. Will add a MiniDSP HD when I get everything put back together to make a few tweaks.

    But, as to not totally derail the thread… I’ve heard very good things about the Stereo Integrity BM drivers. I don’t so much care for the company (too much drama, IMO…) but the drivers I’ve used from them appeared well built and were close to spec. I actually got in on the pre order for the Bm-11 to see if it meets the hype.

    I got James @tech12volt sub box with two JL 10's outstanding box quality...I got the 5 channel JL amp(RD900) JL C2 speakers in the doors and 4 C1's across the dash. I originally had a dsr1 but ditched it for a kenwood head unit....1007 model... I have been very pleased with the results....sound deadener in the doors and back wall(soundskin) and added mass loaded vinyl and foil backed foam to the floor.

    The Danish know how to make speakers that's for sure. Peerless has always been an OE manufacturer first and foremost but they have never restricted sales of their speakers to just the OEM market which is nice for those of us who want access to high quality drivers for DIY projects. To bad they have out sourced all of the production to China though. The Chinese's have gotten pretty good at making the speakers so there generally is no issue with the quality but I still don't like seeing entire industries shipped off to china. It's not just an American issue.

    I have used plenty of Peerless drivers as well as Vifa in my various builds over the years both in my vehicles and in home audio. I have always found Peerless to be a great source of well designed drivers that for the most part where offered at reasonable prices especially when compared to other Danish speaker manufacturers like Scan Speak. Peerless and Vifa are considered one company these days though ever since the where both bought out by Tymphany.

    The only drama with Stereo Integrity is customers with unreal expectations. They custom make most of their subs. They even say there is a lead time yet people get on forums and explode when they don’t get a sub in 24 hours that is custom made.
    Also people get on forums and cause a stink about a product they has an issue rather than reach out to Nick who simply replaces them under warranty.
    Not sure what drama your referring to but writing stuff like that in a forum like this without any context is the drama your referring to.
    I have stopped using any other subs because Nick has some of the best customer service in the industry. You can also call the company and talk to the owner, Nick. How many other companies can you still do that with?
    He is a small company that puts out drivers that perform way beyond their price point.
    It’s fine if you have a preference like I do, but taking jabs at a company for no reason is a bit much. And then say you buy SI drivers.
    There is a small number of 11-12 inch drivers that really perform these day and SI makes one of the better ones.

    that being said I really want to do one of the SI 24s in an ib blow through set up but that’s for another time.

    Rant over.

    I do wish there was more room behind the seat of the crewmax.

    Oh. Gotcha. So telling the truth about a company about how they operate and their stellar customer service is drama?
    That’s funny. Responding to a baseless accusation is drama? Interesting.
    If this is your point of reference the only drama is caused by folks like you hiding behind a keyboard and talking crap.

    in case anyone is curious the bm11 has almost the same performance as the bm12 but in a smaller form factor which is ideal for trucks like tundras with a tiny bit of space available.
