    Question Sierra-2EX Measurements?

    For aesthetic reasons, I always leave my 2EX grills on, as I Hear no difference either way. However, just curious if Dave's on-site measurements were with grills On or Off?

    Not sure about the measurements but the difference would be very tiny. I leave mine off to make sure I don't miss any details.

    All measurements for our speakers are taken with grilles off.

    MD,

    FWIW, HERE is a great description from Dave of the 2EX Mid/Woofer! According to the Sierra 2EX SPEC page, it is rated as a 6" transducer.

    However to answer your exact question, I measured the surround suspension edge OD and came up with a rough estimate of 5.11325"!?!

    Reality check: it could be a 3" driver or a 15" driver, doesn't matter! As Dave has designed and created this custom Seas transducer to keep up with the Sierra S2-Di Diamond Sierra Tweeter, it's auditory performance with the Sierra RAAL tweeter is simply, OUTSTANDING!!!

    No question about it that's it's an outstanding speaker. It was just a curiosity that crossed my mind.

    It is considered a 6" woofer, categorized in the W16 series from SEAS (16 being 16cm in diameter) W being "Excel" series.
