What would you do with these?

[magnethead]

Found these in a trash can!

Inside dims are 2.5 in wide x 2.0 in deep 23.25 in tall. Was thinking about a small tweeter in the center and 2 full range 3in woofers flanking the tweet.You could stand them up as small desk top towers or lay them flat as center channel.

Wouldn't hurt to try would it.
A cabinet brace might be a useful addition for the 23" dimension.
Do you have any thoughts on drivers, you will need to look for a pair of drivers that will work happily in that volume.
I haven't had any experiences of any drivers less than 5" midwoofers, so not easy to make suggestions for you.
Maybe Planet10 could make some suggestions mark audio, Sb acoustics or Peerless 3 full rangers.

Good morning and thanks for the reply.The inside volume is 116.5 cu in or .067 cu ft. I found these drivers on P.E.'s website. Peerless TC2X4FB00-8....PE#264-1614.at only $15.00 ea. Recommended sealed is .045 (96hz) or vented .098 (51hz) so I am right in the middle. But box volume can be adjusted using a few tricks. I will be using these in conjunction with an 8in sub so looks like sealed is the way to go here. Alot less mind work there.Would you suggest a X-over for these keeping anything below 100hz from getting to these drivers?

I'd turn one in a sound bar for a tv set and the other one as sound reinforcement to a desktop computer. Left and right side reserved for a 2 way speaker, central part of cabinet to hold amplifier and power supply.

 

[magnethead]

Lojeck....I have the sound part of my pc pretty much covered... but would be nice to cover the center a little better...Thanks for the suggestion...didnt think of that

 

[magnethead]

This is what I have for the pc..but filling the center better sounds good

 

[angrypat]

Certainly looks like a TL waiting to happen, ask Dave at Planet10.

 

[magnethead]

no these are my TL's.. next to to my OB 's we

 

[magnethead]

This is just half of my sound room! Sorry guys I'm not married so I can do this! Haha

 

[magnethead]

And this is the other half!

 

[angrypat]

I don't think that apology is genuine.

 

[magnethead]

That's was completely genuine! Trust me I was married twice and completely understand the WAF! Certain factor's need to be followed , size shape color and most importantly the cost! But I just don't have a WAF, I have a MAF ! That's a My acceptance factor! Just thought I'd just rub it in a little! Haha

Trash towers have been cleaned up ,sanded and resanded. looking alot better ordered all the parts needed . Decided to go with a small tweeter and a 3in. full range woofer but added a3in. passive radiator Went with a 2 way passive x-over at 4,000. Will post as the project progresses!
