Recommended speakers for MTM

paintrodsey · 22nd May 2006, 10:27 PM

I was wondering what people had for recommendations for a 4 or 16 ohm, 6 to 7 inch woofer that has a paper cone for roughly $40. I was going to use the peerless 850123, but I can't find them for sale because they have been discontinued.

If you would provide some more information about the project you want to use the woofs for it will be easier for people here to make recommendations.

Vifa, Dayton, SEAS, and others make a variety of paper cone woofers, many good ones for around your price range and some for quite less - Dayton is one of the better bang-for-the-buck choices.

If you haven't checked already, look at PartsExpress and Madisound.

I am in the same situation as you, try these sites:

GR research
http://www.gr-research.com/
model: AC3, floor standing and cheapest I know

Audio Enthusiast
http://www.webgeekdesign.com/guide/
look for the speaker kit websites on the left.

I will try the cheap drivers first like you before trying expensive drivers.

I'm looking at using them with the north D25-06S. I want the whole loudspeaker to have an impedance of 6-8 ohms. I thought about the dayton classics, but I want to use a sealed box. I'm going to use these speakers for music in stereo, but want to add a center channel and surrounds in the future. I've checked madisound, parts express, meniscus, and have dug around on some other websites. The only speaker that I have found that works well in a sealed box, has a paper cone, has not been discontinued, and is under $100 is the vifa TC series.
Then again I may just be too picky and will have to use the TC series. I just wanted to see if there was anything else out there.

ttan98:

I just emailed GR research and they emailed me back saying that they will have some new 6.5" speakers in about a month. Here is a thread:

With the specs they give, they would work great in a sealed enclosure, I may just wait a little while for them.
