Driver to use with ”blanda” speaker 12 cm

Hi

As the title states, I’m hoping you can suggest a full range driver
to use with Ikea blanda 12 cm bowl. My plan is to make a spherical speaker like many others have done but a tad smaller. I’m willing to spend up to around 30 dollars/driver as this a first.

If there is a driver I can use without any filter whatsoever I would be happy. If it needs “stuffing” please suggest what kind and roughly how much you would use.

The plan is to convince my sister that it can sound better than a 1 inch plastic speaker (total size 5 cm).

Thank you,
Nick

Ps, preferably a driver with circular frame as that would things much easier

hello, look here for a list of fullranges that have been compared. A good base to start.

Timothy Feleppa's Pages: Speaker Measurements - Midrange/Fullrange Speakers 4" and smaller

Hi

Unfortunately I can’t open that page. I’m not sure why. I have tried several iPads/computers.

Fountek FR88EX 3 Seems nice according to the list. A little more than I want to spend but that’s ok. It’s a 3 inch driver. Do I presume correctly that it needs larger than a 0.9 L enclosure?

Can anyone give some input on these two drivers:

SB Acoustics SB65WBAC25-4 2.5" Full Range
and
Peerless 830984 2.5" Full Range 8 ohm

According to madisound they are supposed to go in 0.5-1 L and 1 L enclosures respectively.

Fountek FR88EX 3" Full Range also has a suggested volume of 0.5-1.5 L
.……………

What about using:
Markaudio CHR-70-Gold Champagne
Cone 4" Full Range
Or
Markaudio CHP-70-P Gen2 Natural Paper

In a spherical speaker makes our two 20 cm blanda bowls?

Any input is much appreciated

Thank you,
Nick

Faital Pro 3Fe22? Can I just toss it in or does it need any correction? If so, what would you suggest? Any stuffing?

 

[adason]

what do you want to correct on this

 

[niccav]

True! It looks good. It’s also cheap and that’s always positive when building your first speaker. Do you think I should any dampening material inside?

Ps, is it suitable in a 0.9 L enclosure (not counting the area that’s reduced by the driver)?

 

[adason]

yes

 

[niccav]

yes

Yes to the or second question? IF you menat the firat, then hos Mich and what material?

The problem i see with that driver is the protruding screws holes. To make the speaker decent looking. I have very limited time between travels and family and round driver would things much easier. You have any 100% round driver you would like to suggest?

Thank you for your help thus far. As a complete newb I take all the help I can get.

No BSC required?

All bowls need at least some stuffing/lining to damp its eigenmodes.

[niccav]

BSC? Sorry if it’s obvious? What would you use as dampening?

Hehe it seems I forgot to switch keyboard from Swedish to English before typing. I think it should be something like, “ if you meant the first, then what material”. At least something like that. Not good when you can’t interpret your own sentences.

No more suggestion as what drivers I could use in a 12 cm Ikea bowl speakers? I would gladly use the drivers suggested by adason if it weren’t for the protrusions (screw holes).

What’s BSC

Hi, as I’m building a very similar pair of full range speakers using the Ikea 20cm bowls, I’m wondering what speakers you decided on in the end - and how do they sound? I’m considering either Dayton Audio PS95s, Dayton Audio ND90 or Tang Band 1364 each will no correction circuit - and using a Nobsound NS10G Bluetooth amp. Would love to hear from you.
