In Reply to: Ideal Parameters for OB Woofer posted by Joseph Cohen on February 3, 2007 at 12:28:05:
as the ideal parameters go............its been my experience that what the driver sounds like and how it performs isnt really anything you will be able to derive from ts parameters.too many variables involved to discount any driver that is anywhere near the ballpark for the application.
for instance.........i just put a pair of 16ohm b&w 8"mid-bass drivers from the dm220 series on an ob and the sound is really really good with greater depth and presence than when the drivers were sealed in their box.
im sure many people would never have tried this because drivers designed for small sealed enclosures shouldnt be that good on ob but these sound really good.
i hate to say it but they seem to be putting out more bass than the pair of 15"drivers that are in the main speakers and those drivers are supposed to be great for ob.
come on over and hear what is going on. :)
i will shoot you an email for the address.
