I've purchased a pair of BG Neo8s and I'm considering my options on what type of system to build with them. I want to pair each Neo with one or two 6-10" woofers probably in an OB configuration. I'll use active XO and digital EQ and run the Neo8s's without additional tweeters. I hope to use the woofers from about 60-70 Hz (I use subs below that) up to about 300-400 Hz where I'll XO with the Neos.
I'm new to speaker building so I need some tips. One option I'm considering is to mount all the drivers only using some kind of vibration dampened string in a metal or wooden frame. I figured this will minimize vibrations spreading from the drivers. I can't find much information about this sort of mounting on the web (I remember seeing some pictures of it though). What's the downsides to this type of driver mounting and where can I find more information about it? Additionally, I'm considering covering all the free space between the frame and drivers with Basotect or similar acoustic damping material. I figured that would make the baffle area larger and thus extending the lower range of the drivers (at least the Neo's). Is it a good idea?
I'm also looking for tips on what 6-10" woofer drivers would be suitable to use with the Neo8s in an OB configuration. Price up to about $100.
Thanks.
