I'm considering a speaker system using wide box (almost like a soundbar, but deeper). But, each speaker has its own chamber inside. So, the internal volumes will be separated for each speaker
This is only the second speaker system I've ever built, so, i'm still a bit green. I'm wondering if anyone can give me advice as to weather or not the following components would work well together. (included are their specs)
Any feedback/criticism is highly appreciated!
---------------------------------------------------
FULL-RANGE (2 Speakers-stereo)
• MODEL: Dayton Audio RS100-8 4" Reference Full-Range Driver
o RMS: 30 watts
o 8 ohms
o Freq. Response: 90 to 20,000
o Sensitivity: 84.6 dB 2.83V/1m
o Resonant freq.: 92.2 Hz
These two full-range drivers would be pushed by a 2x15 Watt 4 ohm amp.
WOOFER (1 mono speaker)
• Dayton Audio DC160-8 6-1/2" Classic Woofer
o RMS: 50 watts
o 8 ohms
o Freq. Response: 30 to 4,000
o Sensitivity: 86.1 dB 2.83V/1m
o Resonant freq.: 35.7 Hz
o Crossover: Low-pass 100Hz 8 ohm
This woofer would be pushed by a 1x30 Watt 4 ohm amp. It would also need its only level adjustment. (VOL pot)
---------------------------------------------------------------------
My questions:
-Would these speakers work well together?
-Is the crossover frequency selection a good one?
-Are the speaker watt and amp outputs OK for each other?
-For the sub, I will need to convert the stereo signal to mono. I believe i'll need to wire a summing circuit. How do you decide what size resistor to use for this? Anyone with experience doing this?
Thanks in advance to any input!!
