Tannoy 10 inch Dual Concentrics

JRKO · 16th March 2004, 10:36 PM

I just got some Tannoy T165's (chester). The cabinet is roughly 49 litres and ported but really naff.

Any ideas on some decent cabinet designs for a single point source driver like this?

I thought about just changing the origional dimensions from (hwd in mm) 524x350x268 and keeping the port but I thought you guys might have some better ideas

Any help, including info on the driver )as Tannoy only have a pdf in black'n'white of the advert) would also be welcome.

Thanx in advance

do you have the TS specs for the driver, if so then it will be easy to design the box, otherwise a sealed box is always safe.
or clone the original box.

nobody seems very interested in the 10 inch and so I cant get the technical data for the driver.

Most want the 15incher but its a tad too expensive for me and too big for my room!

I could send it of to be measured to a guy I know.

I just got my 10's home and fired them up!!!!

they sound GREAT!

I wish I did not spend so much on a pair of B&W CDM1nt's now. These things are 15 years old but sound so much more real!

Off the back of a Quad 99cdp, 99 pre and 99 power amp (85ish watts) they sing. Double bass from Ella sounds soooo real and the Darkness rock.

"The 10 is the one i've always drooled over ... " how come? Most dismiss it as the runt of the family when you have the 12's & 15's in anything up to 450 litre cabs.

Thanx for the link.

The bigger drivers may go lower in the bass (but not low enuff that you don't still need a sub if you want to go real low), but the 10 goes higher and blends better with the tweeter.

Many thanks Luke123.

Are you sure this unit is the HPD? I have not pulled it about too much yey to look for any ID detail.

So, what about the cabs? TL, vented or sealed? Go mad, the wife has given her permission!!!!!!!!!!!!
