Moved to Loudspeakers.

Yes and yes. Not your best option usually, what do you have in mind?

lejaybo · 21st January 2009, 09:03 PM

not to sure

thought someone may have tried it?

Cal Weldon · 21st January 2009, 09:06 PM

Many have, me included. The problem is they sound best in a car environment. If you are going to put them up on a shelf in the garage or something fine but go another route if you are planning to use speakers indoors.

Hello lejaybo, They don't make them anymore, but Vifa did make a small coaxial at one point, the A10CC-07. I haven't gotten to using them yet, but I do have a pair, in cabs now, just need the crossover components. Here's a link to one company in the USA that carries surplus ones.

Peace,

P.S. I'm sure there are others, just don't know of them. You could also try making a bracket to hold a tweeter over the mid/woof, thus making your own coaxial.

Made many a pair decades ago, but back then their specs and response were more favorable than now due to dramatic changes/improvement in vehicle design. Today it appears that the three way units are where it's at: http://www.worldsbestloudspeakers.com/index.html

Hi, £2,000 for a pile of cheap garbage and a faceful of complete BS ....

Yeah, so? I used it merely as an example since no one seems to be using co-ax units any more.

Hi lejaybo

Tannoy still make small co-axial speakers in their in-wall and in-ceiling models. Have a look at the TS parameters to see if they could help.

However, small and low is always a difficult target.

Cheers
