extra speakers, Array?

johnnyfive82 · 6th October 2011, 07:36 AM

So I bought 8 Peerless India W3-LK76-PBK 3" Paper Cone Shielded Woofer 4 O for a portable speaker I was making me and a friend. After making the prototype and I didnt like them. They were more mid range though. So living in Hawaii makes it hard to return stuff. Plus these were only $4 each. So I was wondering of things to do with them and an array came to mind. But I dont know how much more I should get or if its a lost cause. Seen the BIB calculator and thought, would a BIB array work? Please lend me your knowledge.

Thanks

4 per side is pretty lite numbers wize for an array. I'd suggest a bipole or a 1.5 way.

You'll be hard pessed to get anything <100 Hz out of them. Not really a BIB candidate i'd say

I know that I didnt have enough for an array. I was wondering if they were good enough for one and how many would be enough.
