is it those things playing that song or is that background music you added

also is there a 1 way crossover that you could pair with these for cheap @ around 100-300 hz

if you have a pair of them, you can use this as a crossover when wireed to 4 ohm

or this

and this likewise for each one at 8 ohm

would this work also http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?&DID=7&Partnumber=266-200

technically yes, but i would like a little more than a first order crossover. at least a 2nd IMO, but yes it will work.

o yeah forgot about that

hows the sq and for thr people who have them what would be the best crossover point for them in a small pod

Given the small enclosure these need and the natural lowend rolloff, I think they'd be fine with no more than 6dB on highpass. I actually think you could get by without one atall.

Can't really say. It will be dependant upon your application and your tastes.

i dunno tyr, i have mine in a really small enclosure (shared) i just used it as a mono thing for like a smal CD player (i want to build an enclosure with an amp and a battery box lol) anywho, when doing some low basslines they tend to breakup when at moderately loud volumes on the low notes, i had to EQ the crap out of the bottom end for them to sound good.

go ahead and try the 1st order 6db\oct cap crossover @ 100hz. id rather have it than nothing.

The driver's Fs is an octave higher (200Hz), and there's a natural rolloff already at 30dB@100Hz, so that will be pointless. I think people are having a problem because they are trying to get some midbass out of these puppies and it just doesn't have the displacement potential to do so. For use as headphones, this may be feasible, but not for normal audio use.

Granted, a filter is always a good idea, but if you can tune via the enclosure to meet the application, there may be no need for one. The less degradation and signal loss, the better.

there is nothing like having a 2 inch w7 looking thing. pretty pimp
