What Should I Do With These...

mortron · 7th January 2012, 12:09 AM

I have an old Yorkville Bass amplifier with a 200watt amplifier and a pair of Eminence 10" Woofers that I am looking to make use of. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions. These are the T/S specs of the woofers:

05-RE OHMS 7.14 13-FS HZ 52.69
06-LE MH 1.11 14-MMS GMS 28.00
07-QM 6.20 15-CMS mm/N .3255
08-QE .430 16-RMS NS/M 1.4974
09-QT .410 17-VAS LTRS 54.38
10-XMAX MM 2.40 18-SD SCM 344.88
11-BL TM 12.35 19-EBP 121.4
12-EFF % 1.77 20-SPL dB 94.5

They don't go very low, but I was still hoping to use them for something practical... or crazy. I also have 4 "Veteran 30" 12" guitar speakers... 16ohm. I dunno what use they would be other than their intended use.

Any suggestions would be cool. Looking for something to keep me busy again

Thanks

I would learn to play guitar- you have some awesome bass drivers!!! Not being flip; it's a great hobby to pick-up, no matter what your age...make it a New Year's resolution!

Neat thing about drivers with total Q near 0.39 is that box sizes are easy to figure out. Build a vented enclosure near the size of the Vas of the driver and tune to around the Fs.

In a ~2ft^3 box per driver tuned to ~50hz (4" diameter round port x 4" long), you can expect Xmax limited Pe of ~20W per driver through most of the bottom end and F3 of ~50hz.

I play... but I've already got one of these:
Bergantino NV610

I guess I was just wondering if there were any loudspeaker projects rather than instrument speaker projects. I think I may be a hoarder

Those 10" drivers would work fine in a 2 or 3 way system IMO. Do you have any other hoarded drivers that you could pair em up with?

The 12" guitar speakers would probably be best suited to a typical open-back cab design and high-passed to protect from accidental "thump" pickups.

I have a pair of EPI inverted tweeters, not sure if they work though, haven't bothered to check, as the EPI70c's I have need a split cabinet fixed and the woofers refoamed. And a pair of Minimus 18 with little 3.5" drivers, that cost me $1 for the pair i can cannibalize that I am not using. And a $5 pair of Realistic Pro x77s as well.
