GRS 8FR-8 Full Range Low Budget Project

i like fullrange drivers like the grs 8 inch and strive to bring oneway principle to its best results. Because a speaker without faults in the time domain has its sonical advantages


below is the information I obtained from the Dayton WT3 Woofer Tester:

* This data was exported from the Dayton Audio WT3 Woofer Tester
*
  • Manufacturer: GRS
  • Model: 8FR-8
  • Piston Diameter = 165.1 mm
  • f(s)= 63.25 Hz
  • R(e)= 7.43 Ohms
  • Z(max)= 49.80 Ohms
  • Q(ms)= 5.702
  • Q(es)= 1.000
  • Q(ts)= 0.851
  • V(as)= 32.170 liters (1.136 cubic feet)
  • L(e)= 1.14 mH
  • n(0)= 0.78 %
  • SPL= 91.00 1W/1m
  • M(ms)= 12.67 grams
  • C(ms)= 0.50 mm/N
  • BL= 6.12

IIRC this website either once had an English option or Google could translate it, but there's apparently neither now, or have I missed something?

Regardless, these are 'best' specs so far, but 0.7 Qts still technically well beyond the most extreme EBS alignments:
Thiele-Small Parameter(aus eigener Messung)
Nennimpedanz/Gleichstromwiderstand: 8 / 6,8 Ohm
Resonanzfrequenz: 65,9 Hz
Gütefaktoren(Qms/Qes/Qts): 6,36 / 0,78 / 0,70
Äquivalenzvolumen(Vas): 18,7 Liter
Effektive Membranfläche(Sd): 214 cm²
Antriebsfaktor(BL): 6 Tm
Schwingspulenimpedanz (Le): 0,71 mH
Schwingspulenüberhang(Xmax): 3 mm

Those parameters are probably closer to the truth.
Yes there was an English one before.

As long as you could get this was my favorite allround fullrange
