Best size enclosure for new dayton full range 4'' speakers ??

[IllNastyImpreza]

I'm going to be building a 5.1 surround sound for my computer gaming pleasure. And I thought this speaker would make a GREAT simple solution.

Anyone tried these speakers? what did you think ?http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...number=295-358

I know they are best mounted on a IB....But how would I go about making small satelites to hang from the cieling or whatnot ??

Nasty, I'm moving this into the DIY forum. You'll get much more informed responses there.

I'm very keen to see a MT design for this little beastie. I believe all the talk to date has been around a MTM which makes me loose some interest to be honest.
BTW I don't know who the guy is that did the review on the PE site but I think I have finally found someone that knows less about speaker building than I do.

This driver is suitable for a B5 alignment.
The box volume is 8 litres and it is tuned to 66 Hz. with a 1st. order filter at 120 Hz. this has a -3db. point of 70Hz.
The filter can be a 80-100 microFarad bipolar electro connected to the speaker, since this filter is not isolated it will interact somewhat with the driver but this is within acceptable limits for the intended application, more details on B5 alignments here..

cool cool.

I wanted to avoid messing with any passive components. I'm hoping my reciever can HP them for me somewhere around 80-120hz. I've heard these bad ass little speakers can play down to 70hz quite well !
