Vifa Full Range

riverrat373 · 31st December 2009, 02:24 AM

I just recently picked up a pair of Vifa 6 1/2" full range drivers and would like to build a single driver speaker system with these speakers. Can anyone point me to a set of plans for a speaker this size?

Thanks. I'm aware of the open baffle design. What I am looking for are closed box enclosure designs, either ported or sealed, for a single driver. I have found quite a few but they are all very complicated designs. I want a simple design that does not require a full blown woodworking shop to build!

I'm not aware of any 6.5" vifa full range drivers. Are these new? I can't find anything on PE, Madisound, or Tympany's website.

Edit: Ok, so a coaxial and not full range. I see.

I've actually used these in a car. My girlfriends civic blew a speaker and needed a replacement. For $15 each it was perfect but I certainly wouldn't recommend them.

When PE's website comes back i'll have a look (seems at the moment that anyone outside the US can't get there)

why do you call it fullrange riverrat373?
its small car midbass driver with coaxially mounted tweeter
its not even true coaxial, nothing special, designed for cars, according to the mounting holes, plus 86dB is rather low efficiency...
