adding whizzer cones.

Speaker Asylum

General speaker questions for audio and home theater.

I had a couple of MCM 8" aluminium drivers,the dustcaps of which I removed. I then cannibalised a pair of unused MCM woofers (spec'd for the original Superwhammodyne subs) as their coil formers were the same diameter as the 8" jobs. Cutting down the paper cones to 3" and then glueing them to the 8" formers I had a great little full range speaker. The paper whizzer really brought out the missing mids that the 8" cone couldn't reproduce. And the paper whizzer added a texture to the sound that the aluminium lacked. In enclosures of similar size to a Yamaha NS10 monitor,coupled with the fabled titanium tweeter of the Whammodyne with 2uF cap (No Inductor) and 7 ohm pad to balance it up I have myself a very clear sounding,responsive speaker that is easily driven by a 4w amp. Anyone else tinkered like this?
