Hey Wayne et all; long time, no see!

Someone was looking for RS1197 (4" fullrange, factory "seconds" of Fostex FE103) TS specs a long time ago--I hope you're still lurking around. I found some over at the full range driver forum. It's now in the archives under "40-1197s for Home Theater???"

The specs are:

Fs=85Hz
Qt=0.37, Qd=2.7
Vad=0.17 cuft (4.9 l)

I think PiAlign is having some problems with the low Vad because when I plug them in the Encl Vol=6.3 cuft and the Ideal Q=40.5!

The dimensions indicate a reasonable 0.08 cuft cab (9.2" x 6.6" x 4.5" w 3/4" wood) and 0.8" dia X 2.2" port but I'm not sure if I should trust them?!

Wayne, could you run these numbers for me? Thanks.

For those interested, another cheap full range is the Pioneer B20FU20-51FW (I got mine for $40 CND each!)
Specs:

Fs=36Hz
Qt=0.25, Qd=4
Vad=3.2 cuft (92 l)

The results in a nice 0.8 cuft cab (18.5" x 12.75" x 9" w 3/4" wood) with a 2.2"diam x 2.3" port.

I'll be finishing my Theater Seven Pi's this weekend (finally!). I'll keep you posted.

Cheers,
Jeff

I did finally find the data sheet on Fostex's site, but through a wierd path.
Anyway, I made a pair of boxes with four each. I can't remember
the dimensions. They sound OK. Obviously no real bass,
and the highs roll off maybe around 10-12K, but they do
have very nice sound in the middle. RS is clearing these
out for $5 ea.

Thanks, Chris

Enclosure volume for this loudspeaker is actually 104 cubic inches, which is 6.3 x 10-2 cubic feet. So the cabinet size is 7.16" x 4.77" x 3.18" - even before calculating displacement volumes for the components inside or adding wood thickness. With wood thickness and driver displacements, 9.2" x 6.6" x 4.5" is just about right.
