Driver Help

bhg41088 · 7th April 2004, 08:42 PM

I have 2 of the 4.5" Vifa/JBL woofers off of parts express/ I would like to pair these with an inexpensive tweeter for a small monitor for my computer. Can anyone recommend a good, inexpensive tweeter to pair with these? Also, Should i but two more and go with 2 MMT speakers with an overall impedience on 8 ohms, or do a 2 way and have an overall 4ohm impedience?

bump, need help.

Well i decided i would like to do two TMM towers using these. I still need a tweeter suggestion and also, will their be any problems with this that anyone can point out?

If you mean this driver then it has response issues
that make it extremely difficult / impossible to use
for normal 2 way MT or MTM speakers.

If you mean either of these drivers then I could
make some hopefully sensible suggestions.

well, it is this first one. Whats wrong with it? and can i still get good sound in a MMT setup?

sreten · 8th April 2004, 10:54 PM

Well according to the PE response graphs there is strong
step down at 1Khz which is very difficult to correct.

And impedance is 4 ohm per driver.

Bizzarely as it may sound they are best suited to a
TMWW arrangement wired in series for 8 ohm and
with the TM drivers around 85/86dB and the 2 W's
rolled in for BSC, limited bass being OK for HT.

Or a straight TMW, TM the same, but 4 ohms in this
case, with relatively limited power handling re a pair.

Well, i was wanting to wire 2 of them in series for an 8 ohm load, then use an 8 ohm tweeter. How hard is this dip to correct?

Hey sreten,
Do you think we could chat for a little while over aim about this? Or anyone else for that matter.

BHG41088 on AIM, i'd really love any help with this, so feel free to IM me.

Well, would 2 of these, used with 2 Dayton 6.5s and a tweeter work in a mtmww setup?
