[QUOTE="ciaonzo, post: 8139561, member: 607015"] It is well worth the effort and don't let an 8 ohm driver scare you. You don't need to use a subwoofer and you don't need to build an eclosure to get the response you need. Just look for an 8" woofer - simple as that. The lower the Fs and the more Xmax the better. From there, try to get the highest frequency response possible so you can either cross to a large format tweeter that can cross very low, or a midrange like you said. That would be a better choice. Again, I cannot stress this enough, do not make the mistake of letting 8 ohm scare you away from a driver. Easily one of the most misunderstood aspects of choosing a driver. These are the types of drivers you are looking for...
