Hi there. I've got 2x Wharfedale 15" hifi speakers from circa 1976 vintage as well as 2x 8" from the same era.
Is there someone out there who can: 1) forward me the Thiele-Smalls on these drivers, and/or, 2) supply me with a cabinet design for this driver?
I want to use the 15's for Bass, the 8's for mid, with a Calrad Cellular horn tweeter and 3 way crossover. Any Ideas. the Soundman

Whatfedale W15 FS/CS/RS
Hello Soundman,
I have in my possession, two W15FS and two W15CS woofers. the FS is foam surround and the CS is cloth surround, more like a grey felt. The FS models I have have been refitted with new foam.
I can run both these types of drivers on my LMS (Loudspeaker management System) and get the Theile-Small parameters. I assume your models have the RS, half roll surround and probably ceramic magnets; the models I have are all fitted with the red square AlNiCo magnet. The differences are probably negligible.
I'm still using a Briggs' 3 way built by an uncle in 1957. The bass reflex is 10 cubic feet. The mid and tweet face up in a separate frame type cabinet, open on all sides. The system can be seen here. BRIGGS' THREE WAY
Also, I can supply you with dimensions for a rectangular bass reflex or a corner design, the latter being much less obtrusive in a room with the added benefit of corner loading. The corner design is about 7 cubic feet.
The first piccy shows what a corner cabinet can look like; the second shows the 1957 Wharfedale system. In the left corner can be seen the other corner cabinet with the treble unit on top which was made months later.
