Driver suggestions

[nox9colt45]

I'm lookin to build a MTM design. Crossover was targeted to be around 2k or so, but hard to say with out having a speaker selected. My sub will be able to handle up to 100hz or so, so i am looking for a speaker that is flat as can be from 100-2k. Also want it to be somewhat good off axis, like 30deg is enough. I also want a 4ohm driver, so i can run 8 ohm load. This has made my selection A LOT SMALLER, which sucks.

Price range im looking to spend is UP TO $60. My real target is $40, but if the 20 bucks gets me a much better speaker, its worth it.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Is that $60 for the whole speaker?

Look at the Daton 7" RS woofer. There's proven designs stickied on this forum.

lol no, $60 per driver, I have looked at the Daytion RS, and i do like them. It just started to drop before 100hz according to the partsX response graph, and just a little less steady at the 2k crossover (if i decide to go with that).

I should ask however, does anyone have any experiences with an Onkyo TX-SR502 stable to 4ohm? I would run 4ohm (2X 8ohm drivers then), but i dont want to build the Xover, and have it not work, or possibly fry my receiver.

The Parts Express graphs don't have a crossover to add BSC, and I think they use an infinite baffle or something like that. In actual use the FR remains flat until much deeper.

In my room, even the single-RS180 ModulaMT goes much deeper than 100Hz, so the MTM version should go even deeper. Besides, the ModulaMT (and MTM) are a little low-end heavy which give us the perception that the bass goes even deeper than it actually does.

Thats really good to know. My first idea was to use the Dayton RS's. thanks

We prefer the term 'robust' or better yet Rubenesk'....:wink:
