Hi all!
I bought two of these drivers and am planning to use them in a pair of 185 l boxes for testing. Using WinISD I come up with a nice response curve when tuning the box to 35 Hz, calculating with a netto volume of 175 l. Here comes the questions:
What do You think would be the ultimate box size and tuning for this driver? It's lower Xmax compared to the 2242 should mean You need a smaller box, right? I am looking for flat response down to around 30 Hz and will be using them at home.
.....or is it better to recone them as 2242's? A lot of people on this forum loves the 2242 but I have never heard one! Does it sound better than a 2243? They share the same motor/frame, but the parameters differ so they should have different fields of application.
Would it be possible to build a pair of boxes that in size fits both these drivers, if I some years from now decide to do the recone to 2242's?
Thank You for any input!
