Cabinet size for driver
«

Hey all,
Wanted to know the smallest size sealed cabinet (single driver) that I can build according to each driver. Both driver
wont
be used in the same cabinet. I'll use the one that will use the smallest cabinet. They will be used to cover 80Hz-200Hz.
HiVi M6N 6"

Dayton RS125S-8 5"

If anyone could recommend a different driver than the two listed, that would be able to hit 80-200Hz in a small enclosure, I'm all ears
Thanks

You can use this website, it has correct calculators for many different types of speaker enclosures.
www.carstereo.com
For your first woofer:
Box Volume: 0.433ft. cubed (12.26L)
Frequency Response: F3=72.28Hz
For your second woofer:
Box Volume: 0.214tf. cubed (6.06L)
Frequency Response: F3=103.67Hz

I use unibox, google it, it is a free excel spreadsheet that calculates box alignments. It took me a tiny bit to figure it out but I think there are walk through tutorials online now.
There is also WinISD, but I haven't used it.

WinISD is very easy and reasonably accurate- I've used it lots of times. Also, you might look at the M-130 5 1/2" driver from GR-Research. I've used the Dayton driver you have listed, but the break up modes required a more complex crossover. The M130 is so smooth that you could get by with a single inductor, although I'd recommend some baffle step compensation.

Thanks for the help and links
Anyone else know of a driver that works well in a small enclosure?
