Cheap un-known car drivers

[Matttcattt]

i have recently bought a set of 2 bass drivers, and 2 tweeters for us in a car. the tweeters are about 1" accross (inside plastic housing so i cant see), and the bass drivers are approx. 8" with built in metal grill. i do not have any info for these drivers, and they have no name. i bought them from LIDL (spelling?), which is a suppermarket in england, for £10 , which i thought was good, even if they were rubbish.

i wish to use the bass drivers in a subwoofer/subwoofers. how can i find the approx. box size required? the drivers are 4 ohms.

thanks a lot.

hi matt, for determining the thielle-small parameters try rod elliott's site www.sound.au.com he has a very good article on that, and then just use winisd to determine the box size and type.
good luck

do i really need to do all that? do i need to find all the values? cant i just guess how big the box should be?

you need those parameters if you want a good sound out off those speakers, otherwise you will spend a lot of time and effort with nothing to show for it
