  Argh!!! Choosing Drivers

  Posted by josephlal on February 19, 2021 at 10:20 am

  I’ve known for a while exactly how my DIY speakers will look – in every way.  I know what I want them to sound like and I know the first song I’ll play when I demo them to my friends. I’m eve 10% of the way to having the first clue how to build a crossover.  I know I want 3-way.

  How in god’s name do you go about choosing the drivers!!!???

  Pretty sure the tweeter will be the Morel Excel – in my opinion, the tweeter is the most important to get right.

  the rest? pff, I must have built 30 frd files and still none the wiser.

   

  I know 8″ is the biggest I can go and from my car subwoofer box building days (25 years ago) I prefer a couple of smaller drivers than 1 big one for more “punch”.

   

  Passive Radiator? Port? Sealed?

   

  These will probably be crosseded over at 80Hz anyway so why agonise so much!?

   

  How do you choose your drivers?
