Title: Lii open speakers in a sealed cabinet - heresy?
Post by: SBBill on 20 Dec 2023, 06:12 pm
Just to ask.  Is it heresy to replace drivers in an enclosed speaker cabinet with an open baffle speaker such as the Lii 12 inch?  I'm guessing it defeats some of the design, especially if its a 3-way with crossovers to filter the frequency. :nono:

You can use some Lii Woofer or W12 in a big BR box with a suited Litrage volume.

The FR F12 You can not use as Woofer, it will sound strange and small power handling.

No, but most likely a poor design. Model the driver in the enclosure to see if it's going to be boomy. (Which is basically what the others have said.)
