BerzerkTD4W Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 Would there be any obvious problem in wiring a whole bunch of tweeters together as to create what is effectively a larger driver with the sound accuracy of a tweeter? Set the crossover to maybe 100hz if I used enough of them, then did the same for a bunch of 6.5's or 4" speakers to use for bass, equalizing as neccessary ofc. Thinking about trying this but I can't find anything related online so maybe there's something I'm missing that makes it a stupid idea.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AaronT Posted March 26, 2020 Report Share Posted March 26, 2020 It won't work, frequency response of most mids gets as low as 63hz or lower. Tweeters stop at around 2k at the lowest. Here's a little example 50 hz at 50 watts a voice coil moved 15mm peak to peak to reproduce the frequency, 2500hz @ 50 watts the coil moves 1mm or less to reproduce frequency. Tweeters aren't physically capable of making bass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tweeters aren't physically capable of making bass but say that your woofer with a 15 mm p2p was the same size as a tweeter in cone area, i'd be planning on using 15 tweeters with 1mm p2p instead to get my sound volume back up.

AaronT Posted March 27, 2020 Report Share Posted March 27, 2020 Because tweeters don't even move even 1mm. They will not produce frequency that low You asked "is there something I'm missing that makes this a dumb idea" Yes there is, I've explained it above. Also it's dumb because there are already driver that are made to play these frequency in existence that can be had cheap. That alone makes this endeavor absolutely futile and childishly dumb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrackFactory Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 If you used 20 6.5" mids and tried to play 30hz the 18" sub would win. It's designed to play low. The mids aren't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrSkippyJ Posted March 30, 2020 Report Share Posted March 30, 2020 cone area is only somewhat applicable is you are talking about drivers designed to reproduce the same frequencies. You won't even see similar output if you compare a 6.5" midrange to a 6.5" subwoofer, the drivers are simply designed to do 2 different things. I'm also not sure why you think a tweeter is more or less accurate than large drivers.

This is the same guy who was going on about his mtx 5" bookshelf speakers making best bass sound in the world, remember them posts about 2 months ago?
