Foster 160K03 fullrange drivers?

Joris · 24th November 2009, 08:28 PM

Hi all,

I want to build new loudspeakers, since I think the drivers I'm using are capable of producing much better sound when placed in the right cabinet.
Right now they are in some Carlsson cabinets, they produce a nice sound, but the bass can be a bit 'boomy' sometimes.

Is there anyone out here who can tell me what units I'm using? They measure 6,5". I need some data to calculate a new enclosure. Since I wasn't able to find any info the the web, I'm asking you this. Is the Foster driver almost the same as the Fostex FE166E for example? I have to say that the drivers are old, pretty old, they can be like 15 years old, or maybe 20.

Thank you for your reply in advance!

No one knows what drivers I could compare these to?
I was thinking about building some transmission line cabinets,
but don't know whether these drivers are suitable for those enclosures...

Any info is welcome!
