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 Humbledeer fixed it and we put it in my old subwoofer cabinets originally made for a pair of Scanspeak 26W8534G00 drivers just to test how they sounded.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.
