So sometimes you gotta just start a project, but I want to make sure I'm picking out drivers that will play well together. I'd like to use the Dayton ND20FB tweeter, but I am having a harder time picking out a woofer to go with it. I can't decide between the Dayton RS100, the HiVi B4N, or some other recommendations similar to those, (peerless, but I'm having a hard time finding datasheets for those). I really don't want to spend a lot on this, mainly just wanting the experience and know the speakers are going to behave at least halfway predictable. I'm thinking tops $35 on a single woofer, I'd rather keep it around $20.
I'm worried about the freq spike at 3khz with the HiVi, and I'm worried about low end distortion with the Dayton, based on Zaphs measurements.
So since the hard part is designing a crossover, and I'm thinking a cheap MTM computer speaker type project would be a good enough first project. I plan on having to use a sub with them to cover the whole spectrum, but I'd like them to be respectable down to at least 80hz or so. Since I'm going to use them as computer speaker, I'd like to keep the woofer to 4", unless there is just a much better recommendation up to 6"
And I'm not dead set on the Dayton ND20 tweeter, but It looked to be a good performer both freq response and distortion wise for the money. (Thanks Nathan for the tip on that one)
Thanks in advance for the advice guys
