Are there any small full range drivers 3" or 4" that can be used in a small open baffle? The goal would be to build a set of computer speakers driven by a T-amp.

I am thinking of the same thing, the drivers I am looking at are:

1. 871S - Tangband, $17 each, 3in dia.
2. 1337 - Tg.,  about $55 each, 4in dia, 87 db, Titanium based
3. 1320 bamboo- Tg., about $45 each, 4 in dia, 90db, Paper based

Note the model nos. are incomplete, just do a search.

the last 2 models, some users gave very good reports about them, dynamic, clarity, etc. If eff. is not a worry try 1337. The disadv., lack of power handling capability.

Logitech uses 871S on their model 5500, 5.1 system. 871 is good and cheap.

Use them in dipole config., ie 2 driver per side you will have a very good system, and most important easy to build and cheap too. The conf. will beat any commercial system in the market.
If you have a commercial computer subwoofer, then it will complete your system setup, cheap and excellent sonic performance.

hope this helps.

I have been making plans to try a system like this(it may be #3 or 4 on the list of speaker projects!).I was thinking of using car stereo speakers.I have a set of Diamond Audio M3 5 1/4" coaxials laying around not doing anything.They have a Qts of about 0.6,which should be about right for OB.
