I was today with a friend (called Humbledeer down here) working in my workshop. I had on my rack a few old Philips AD1065 M4 drivers, of which one had a broken lead. Humbledeer fixed it and we put it in my old subwoofer cabinets originally made for a pair of Scanspeak 26W8534G00 drivers just to test how they sounded. And that actually sounded quiet good. It's a 150L ported cabinet originally tuned to about 25Hz of long ago. We are going to use them as workshop speakers now (that's why they got a gril. But it was pure luck, and i'm sure they are not tuned like they should. But there is quiet a lot of bass, more than i expected from these old drivers and a very balanced sound.
Of course no measurements, and we will not even bother to do it. It sounds better than we need in the noisy workshop. And that for 0€/$/ as all parts are leftovers or recup from other builds...
edit: the picture does not want to show right angled, how i turn it (admin?)

The port tunes the box to tje speaker's renonant frequency, so changing the speaker needs the retune of the nox for proper performance.
If it sounds good enough then leave it.It sounds better than we need in the noisy workshop.
