Mr. Foxen Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 Need to match speakers to the box, or the box to the speakers, loads of threads about it, but WinISD is key. Do you have a box already, or are you making one? If you are making one, Eminence have handy box designs ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Starr Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 To get decent bass out of a speaker the speakers and cab have to be matched as Mr Foxen has said. This rather than the brand should determine which way to go. I'd avoid using 4ohm speakers without checking Xmax which is the excursion. 4 ohm speakers generally have shortened voice coils and wimp out earlier than 8's. In any case you want two 8's to get 4ohms. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
