Title: will this driver work in a smaller wo?
Post by brian84corvette on 12/19/07 at 19:50:07

I ended up getting them for super cheap on ebay. less than $50 shipped
for the pair of them.

I had wanted to put them in my plans for a realley small wo,
so I liked that they have big magnets, ( small enclosure needs big magnet ? yes? )

- I also wanted to wire them so that the amp will only see them as 2 ohms
can some one tell me how to wire them both up like that please?
- amp will be my 600w by 1 channel at 2ohm

here is my rough outline for the mini wo, that will fit in the back of my vette.

its still pretty rough draft, it only measures 32" by 17" now,
and the speakers I got have a much shorter mounting depth adding more
volume to the sealed area, - my drawling is decieving....
maby ill enlarge it a bit to 32" by 20 or so.
im worried that the sealed area for the speakers will be way too small. maby I
can make the box a bit taller to add more volume to the space.

let me know what you think,

you can mount the speakers 'reversed' on the outside of the sealed box (pointing towards sealed area) this makes sealed area bigger.

should they be reverse wired if they are facing the other way?
I would think that the speaker would sound diffrent in the box like that?

Do some searching in the forum, you will find that answer yourself and learn a few things on the way too!
