Greetings!!
I have two sets of empty cabinets that I am looking at changing the front baffle to a single driver speaker...super easy as the front panel un-screws Both cabinets would be sealed...
Set 1: 25x12x12
Set 2: 14.5x10x11
Can anyone recommend some drivers that would be suitable for these cabinets??
I currently have a set of HA FR4.5C's that I am enjoying very much!! So sonic wise, along the same lines only maybe with a bit fuller sound?? Bit bigger driver perhaps??
Not worried about bass as I run dual subs...also, I run a DEQX so I can definitely work around some driver issues if needed
Anyhoo...welcome all suggestions!!!
Thanks kindly!!!

Set 2: 14 x 9.5 x 10.5
53 litres and 23 litres.
None of the usual candidates here would fit those cabs sealed, they are too big.
But i'd consider a small highish Q driver in the big one, to make an effective infinite baffle.

Both cabinets would be sealed...
What's wrong with a vented box?

With a little bit of fill (i suggest braces to strat), the smaller one could be used with FF165wk, with a little more, Mark Audio 10.2 -- both would be vented. A pair of EL70 could be made to work as is (again vented, but might be workable sealed.
To give you an idea how some examples do sealed, attached are sealed sims that i was able to quickly find on my disk. I have more but they need prep. Sealed is pretty tolerant, look at the differenc ein size betweem 0.58 (bessel) & 0.707 (butterworth), good rolloffs for crossing to helper woofers.

Those sealed measurements for the 10.2 and the EL70 look good...my subs now are crossed over at 100hz using a 24db LR filter...very nice and I'm looking at doing the same with these...
I guess I could vent...drill a hole in the front baffle...I'm assuming I would need some sort of tubing to tune the box...but with the subs, I'm not sure if that would be necessary correct?? Or not??
The HA's I have right now, only have a hole drilled in the back...no tubing to tune...the cabinet is 13x7x9 on the outside...roughly 11.5L on the inside...
Very new to this...sorry man!!

With subs sealed gives you better blend. You can combine the natural 2nd order acoustic rolloff with an electrical 2nd order, and match your sub with that

Excellent!!
That was kinda like what I was thinking
Anyhoo...looks like I have two choices from MA that would work in my smaller cabinets...and I could probably get away without doing anything but stuffing...would I need an internal cross brace?? if not for rigidity but to take up volume??
Other options other than Mark??
