3 way speaker, need midrange

[haryojo]

I have planed to build 3 way speaker. But have not midrange driver yet, just Woofer and tweeter (SB Accoustic 6" SB17NRXC35-8 + Twitter : vifa XT25TG30-04 . Does any one can help me to give advise what compatible midrange for these drivers, the driver below :

1. Woofer SB Accoustic 6" SB17NRXC35-8

Air gap height = 5 mm
Linear coil travel (p-p) = 11 mm
Magnetic flux density = 1.0 T
Magnet weight = 0.54 kg
Net weight = 1.56 kg
Free air resonance, Fs = 32 Hz
Sensitivity (2.83 V/1m) = 89 dB
Mechanical Q-factor, Qms = 5.0
Electrical Q-factor, Qes = 0.36

Force factor, Bl = 5.9 tm
Equivalent volume, Vas = 44.5 liters
Compliance, Cms = 2.25 mm/N
Mechanical loss, Rm = 0.44 kg/s
Rated power handling = 40 watt

Qms 2.50
Qes 0.71
Qts : 0.55


thank..haryo

why 3way ?

but a midrange for this woofer, I would suggest a small 3" widerange with lowish 85db sensitivity

i like jazz music...so I need to get detail each music instrument..like hear or in the middle of concert..hehe

B 80 - 8 Ohm

and on this small size, Monacor have a few new improved hi-Q verisons of older proven designs
dont know if they actually are better, but the old 5" SPH130 have had very good reputation

 

[haryojo]

what does it mean B 80?

i havent tryed this one but there´s a thread here about it , search for scanspeak 10F

10F/8424G00 - Scan-Speak 4 inch wideband coated fiberglass - Europe Audio

what does it mean B 80?

should be a link ?
its a new Visaton 80mm midrange

hmm, If I were doing a three way I would not have opted for a 6" for the woofer, probably an 8" minimum and maybe a 10" or 12"!!

I've got a couple of these SB Acoustics :: 4" SB12MNRX25-4 which I haven't managed to use yet, but I felt that they would make excelent mids in a three way

actually, Im thinking about a 2.5way using SB 8" and 6" together
tweeter could be anything, but definately a waveguide in any case, somehow

I recommend to use a 4.5" midrange driver of reasonable price and approved quality:

Seas MCA12RC
Monacor MSH-116/4

Both are available at Europe Audio.
