4 5" midbass drivers

[orionman825 10+ year member]

i have 4 5" midbass drivers that i used to have in my doors and now i have new focal drivers in my kickpanels so i have found something new to do with them. i want to make a cardboard box to house them all. kind of like a small version of 4 15's in a box. do u think i should make a sealed box or a ported box? and what would be the best way to make them loud. i have a somewhat decent amp and they all run great on it, so i just want to use it in my house for a kind of toy subwoofer. it would be fun to mess around. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/cool.gif.3bcaf8f141236c00f8044d07150e34f7.gif

Well, if they truly are midbass drivers, their Fs is liable to be a big limiting factor to how well they perform as subwoofers. Even in the right enclosure. But sure, you can make 'em work, just not necessarily all that great.

My favorite part is when you ask how to make them loud. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/tongue.gif.6130eb82179565f6db8d26d6001dcd24.gif
