6w0's for dedicated misbass...? check out the T/S specs.....

[BassAddictJ 5,000+ posts]

from what i've read up the jl 6w0's are geared more towards being a small subwoofer than a midbass (fs of about 37hz). in a small sealed enclosure people arent recommending anything overlike 150hz...i would want to run mine in a small sealed (probably slightly smaller than recommended specs) from 80hz to 400hz....judging by the t/s specs would this be a bad idea?

I have never heard them being run that high. These were truly like small subs and the systems I have seen them a mid of some type picked up using at 100 or so. You could try it, but I think the top end might get a little dirty. Unless you already have them or are getting them super cheap, I would try more of a true midbass.

You need to find the inductance and there is a formula to use to calculate recommended high frequency extension of a driver. I believe I have a specific web site bookmarked that has it. If JL doesn't list its inductance, call and ask them, or measure it yourself. Otherwise, it's a shot in the dark and it will be up to your ears.

You also need to know the direct-current resistance. The formula to find the highest frequency it can theoretically reach before it starts to roll off (at 6db/octave) is...

Re / 2*π*Le

where Re is resistance in ohms and Le is inductance in Henries.

im pretty sure they were both right at 3.6ohm. ill double check...i think i might as well do some math before i part them out. rather see it on paper before i start moving speakers around...

sounds like a bad idea

im retarded...what variable is "n" again? number of turns?
