Attempting to reuse old Bose Subwoofer for my first speaker build

[MilesOlson]

Hello, I am a huge fan of 123Toid and his work with the DINAS and Voxel sub. I recently acquired two Bose 181860 6" subwoofer drivers for free and want to make something like one of those. I pretty sure that the impedance is 4 oms but I am not sure about the recommended watts and could not find it anywhere on the internet. I as also interested in the Lepai LP210PA 2x30W + 60W 2.1 Channel Mini Plate Amplifier and would not like to break it. I do not know if I want to put the subwoofers in the bookcase with a full range driver or put it in its own separate enclosure for the best sounds and easiest convince. This will be the first speaker I have built instead of bought. Any guidance or feedback would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

First step would be to obtain the t/s parameters for those drivers. It would not be possible to simulate the use of those drivers in any type of enclosure unless you've got the t/s parameters for them.
