would fe206esr work in fe208e sigma enclosure

[tiverson]

Sorry noob question. I got a pair of fe206esr, would the fe208E Sigma enclosure work with this driver? I have been searching but could not find anything about these in the 208E Sigma enclosure. Thanks

Thanks for the reply,Thats great news, this is what I wanted to here. The thing was, I was going to build them for my fe208e sigma drivers I just got and I also have the fostex t900a super tweeters to go with them but, I happen to come across the fe206esr here and bought them. I have been on the look out for them for a while. I couldn't wait any longer so I found a pair of 208e sigma and bought them, just my luck I came across the fe296esr with planet 10 phase plugs already installed after I bought the sigma pair.

Do the fe206esr need the ribbon tweeters? I am planning on keeping the ones I have to try out. What cap value are you using with the tweeter?

my ears are 69 years old. i had only .56uf to my ribbons. after conversation
with josh at madisound i started adding caps and ended up at 5.0uf.
it depens on your ears i used a clarity red.do you need a tw. its up to you.
my set up sound excelent to my ears. the fe206esr are a jewel.

See if you can get your son to post those picture of the enclosures with the fe206esr in them, I'd like to see them. Thanks

Hello,
don´t you find my HP?
take view of my SAXOPHON and
the RDH20, they would be a solution for the Fe206esr,
because of the depth may be with an extra baffle
of 25 mm.

audioray,
do you test your ears?
imho you don´t need any tweeter, fostex has enough HT
specially in your age, make measurements, 5µF seems
to much if you dont cancle the Fostex at ~3kHz

Hi, thanks for sharing the pictures, very interesting designs. I will try out the super tweeter with the fe206esr, if I feel they are not needed then I will remove them, I agree with the cap value being high.

i did say i am 69 years old. i use to have a single gen.use to sweep 17'000 cyl.
i know the UF is high but to my hearing is fine. my fe168----fe167 do not
have twt.no the206es-r do not need a twt. email your address i will send photo.

sorry,
in your case i think your hear the undertone
one oktave below ~8-10 kHz because you must have
more than ~110 dB 1W 1m there. IMHO
