Those are certainly are interesting looking and I would like to hear them but it looks like they would still need subs only going down to 40 hz
Single driver full range speakers
Hi,
I am a simple home hobbiest. I've built an great sounding full range single speaker set (so no cross-over,, and that's the point. I don't want a x-over).
But of course it lacks terribly in bass. Is it possible (is it commonly done?) to add a woofer into the cabinet with no cross-over (again, simple straight wire to amp). Would it require wiring in parallel or series?
Currently each speaker has one TangBand W8-1808 full range 8" driver and sounds very good.
Thanks in advance, I really would like to know if this is possible (safe?) to do.
Rob

@ronboco I'm not sure I would say "zero chance", because a) folks who exclusively listen to acoustic music at sensible volumes may be well served by single-drivers, and b) as @arafiq says, some single-drivers are said to outperform 3-way speakers. Lowther and Voxativ also come to mind, though tbh I've never auditioned either of them. I think my 4-way, 7-driver speakers and 800wpc-into-2-ohm amps are a better match for my disreputable musical tastes and unsafe SPL choices, but all the same I'd love to audition a really good low-watt, single-driver combo. |
