I had a woofer in need of reconing and no center, so i used one of the 166's as a center and turned the other into a sub. I attached some pics of it. I kept it so i could turn it back into a 166 in the future but for now the port is in the orginal hole for the tweeter and it seems to be working well. The driver is a car audio JBL GTI 1200. From what i have heard its a pro audio woofer or at least based off of one, any truth to that? Check it out and let me know, thanks

I need the interior dimensions and port diameter and length to look via BB6P. The T/S parameters for 1200GTi are there.

What'd you do with the original port there?

First look with assumptions says that 1000 Watts is, uhmmm, fantasy....

I saved the original port and capped off the hole because the three inch port diameter was enough. cab dimensions are just the standard l-166 not quite sure what they are. I have an NAD 7600 bridged powering it and thats more than enough. the 1000 supposedly is peak power, 600 rms

That looks like a flanged-end piece of 3" ABS pipe there, so the ID of the narrower section inside is 3"? If so, we can consider it a "flared" duct. What is the total length?

If you want an accurate determination, you'll have to get out your tape measure, figure out what the interior dimensions are, and post them here. :yes:

OR, I can just make up something bogus, if you like. :p

Frame looks like 2206, but the cone don't:

Yeh the id is 3" length is 5". The frame sure does look like the 2206 h. The cone must be made of different material to suit car audio
