Design for unknown (but nice) 10" woofer

Ang · 15th August 2006, 12:30 AM

I have the chance to pick up the 10" woofer from an Alon V. It's one of the Alnico ones and since I have some Alon speakers (8"woofers, 3dB down ~50 Hz) I was wondering what the best design would be given I know very little about the woofer.

Other details: I have limited tools, the room it's in is 13"^2 and I'm looking for tight response.... don't need 20 Hz.

Appreciate the advice.

To do it right, you need the T/S parameters. They can either be measured or you can try to get the info from the manufacturer.

Of course, if you go with a sealed subwoofer you have a lot of leeway, you could just build a box and hope for the best. The size of the original speaker box might make a good starting point.

I wrote to Alon/Nola and hopefully they can give me the specs. Eyeballing it, the original cabinet was at least 4 cubic feet, sealed.
