Anyway, I'm considerng the 416-8c for 6 cubic foot BR crossed at 400hz to an Audax PR170MO. I've read you prefered the 2226H crossed at 1600. Have you tried the 416-8c at lower crossovers? How did you like articulation on either?

I used the 2226H for a few years in the late 90s early 2000s and although it was smooth I thought it like a bit more power than I could listen to when the family was home.

Any thoughts from anybody are welcome!!

The 416 driver will play lower than the 2226, also requires approx 8 cu ft cab tuned to 40 hz for most applications.

Many folks like the midrange of the 416 over the 2226(Tom B. is one of them). I believe the 2226 is more linear across the bandwidth.

I also think the 416's have a "bungee-cord" type bass, but then the 2226 is already down around 60hz, but I get usable down to the upper 30's in my smallish/well damped room(12' x 16').

I tried the 416's with various crossovers, but did not do anything I liked. That's not to say that other folks would not find it worthwhile to use. I find it a personal choice thing!

If you need more opinions send me a e-mail w/phone nr.
