Can 3" TB W3-593SF be Fonkenized?

[gychang]

I have a extra TB speakers in the garage. I have built a BIB (good bass) and delsol (compact) and wondering if someone (?Planet10?) can suggest a proper cabinet to build as one of the Fonken variation.

copy of parameters from partsexpress:
*VCdia: 3/4" *Impedance: 8 ohms *Re: 6.6 ohms *Frequency range: 110-20,000 Hz *Fs: 110 Hz *SPL: 86 dB 1W/1m *Vas: .06 cu. ft. *Qms: 4.99 *Qes: .67 *Qts: .59 *Xmax: .5 mm *Dimensions: A: 3-3/16", B: 3-1/16", C: 2-1/4".

thanks,

gychang

As luck would have it, this driver wants to see the same volume as an mFonken, so not only do you have a 1st pass design, you get drawings too

Do report back. Thebox above is based on factory specs, and one always has to worry about those.

carefully dry/friction fit the driver brace before gluing in place and applying the damping pads/ buttoning up the box - these little guys don't have a lot of working room

Hello Dave!
i'm new to this forum and i have to say i am fully hooked and impressed,really interesting work from you guys!
so my question is which Fonken?
i have these drivers
do i follow your design here?
i am wondering if they will work in the mini fonken enclosure (in case i want to replace the drivers with 4" later)
i will use the integrated amp from logitech.i found using the nch tone generator that the xover point is between 96 and 100 Hz.
also does a tweeter worth it?(on top of the cabinet)

thank you for your time!

1st: the m is for milli, not mini -- we try to use metric prefixes to give an idea of relative cabinet size.

All in the miniOnken are tightly tuned and the holey driver brace is an important part of the design. If yu have the W3-593, use this design. If you want to do a 4: just do another set of boxes.

as to question of tweeter - very few of the 3-4" full-rangers I've heard recently would likely need that for most folks - above that size, and in larger venues or off-axis, maybe
