Insignia driver replacement

JWFokker · 23rd October 2006, 09:12 PM

Simply put, what drivers would work well in the Insignia enclosure? I realize this is backwards from what most people would do, in that I am trying to match a driver to an enclosure. However, I don't have access to the tools required to build an ideal enclosure for whatever drivers I select. So the plan is to re-use the Insignia enclosures because they're nice looking and quite cheap. After dampening/strengthening the box as much as possible I want to replace the drivers. I've been looking at the Seas CA15RLYand the Dayton RS150S-4, but I'm open to suggestions. And I was thinking of using a pair of Hi-Vi RT1L tweeters that I have sitting around, mounted on top, not filling the port as others have mentioned. However, both the Seas and the Dayton seem to require a slightly larger enclosure. Any input on this would be very helpful.

The only other option I've seen is the Peerless 830882, which doesn't have quite the same range as the Seas.

Hi,

No idea what cabinets you are talking about and impossible to find on the net.

I have a pair of the Insignia speakers as shown on Zaph's site. The stock coaxial drivers have a rather ragged response, even after fully dampening the cabinet and reworking the crossover. So I'm going to replace them and I'm looking for input on which ones to use.

You'll have to search various drivers and their specs to find one that you like and will fit the box. Here is some info that might help. http://www.pesupport.com/cgi-bin/config.pl?read=290717
