Maybe I'm wrong here guys, but try not to imagine that resistor as affecting the crossover as much as letting the crossover do its job better.

Wayne, is that close, or did I try and think to hard again??? LOL

You're right. It provides a resistance that is more pure than the resistance of the driver alone.

Has anyone looked into these as a small ported bass module to warm the sound of Fostex drivers and help them out in the bass?

I might like to build a 1 to 1.5 cubic foot cab (small) to sit beneath my Fostex 168S in a small ported box.

Thanks!
Godzilla

Wow, that 10" is a real monster! Now that's what I call a magnet. I'll be curious to see if others are familiar...

Wayne, thoughts on the 2205 if you don't mind... [message #46575 is a reply to message #46538] Fri, 25 March 2005 09:57 Go to previous messageGo to next message

I was discussing this with someone and they offered a pair of JBL 2205As for a decent price. How do you think these would compare to the Fostex? I believe I heard a pair of these a couple weeks ago and liked them quite a bit.

Also, what do you think of for a box? My main concern is room, as I live in an apartment and a 15" driver is huge. I'd like to try to make the box as narrow as possible.

I'd appreciate your thoughts on this. Also, if this changes the crossover, let me know your thoughts on that as well. Thanks again for sharing your knowledge.

I've never heard the Fostex, so I can't say anything about it. But the 2205 is an excellent sounding speaker. I used 2205's in seven π speakers for many, many years. Those are truly special.
