2 speakers to get loud off 10-15 watts?

[Insaneman1731]

I was looking for recommendations for 2 speakers that could produce loud vocals off only about 10-15 watts (if that is possible). Thanks alot.

fostex in a 10 liter box with a 3 inch port 7.5 inches. will play from 110 hz to 12000hz pretty well. good for voices/vocals 166e model also hot spot monitors will do

Just vocals? How accurate do you need to be? Any number of 6-8" pro audio drivers will get pretty loud on 10-15 watts, for relatively cheap.

How loud are you talking? The aurasound ns4s in a nice ported enclosure as recommended buy maidsound will boogie and produce room filling sound full range, though I woudl recommend some ns3s or something to pick up the top end

these are designed for stock head unit in your car. 15 watts will get loud

Nothing that parts express sells? I remember people messing around with tang bands and stuff and getting them loud?

[johnnyrichards]

Not very many Tang Band speakers will get very loud on 10-15 watts.

Loud vocals in a car?

Weird parameters.

What are you listening to? Books on tape? Presidential speeches?

Yeah, Presidential speeches rock. I like'em delivered loud as hell. I got some old Nixon on vynl. The cd is ok but does reveal limitations of the source tape.

No, but this one will.http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=264-852

It's a 6-1/2" woofer. You would still need to mount your own tweeter for the highs and use some type of crossover. You won't get huge bass from these-probably about average for a 6-1/2". It would be best to protect your door speakers from low bass by crossing over to a sub. Also, watch the mounting depth!

It would be easier to just get a decent coaxial 6-1/2" that is an assured fit. Quality is less, but so is the difficulty. Crutchfield is helpful. Call them if you want easy.

Aww Cole, thanks for the full on belly laugh. My hand are shaking while I type and I'm sure my face is red as a beet.

I recently took out my entire system do to space issues, 15" sub in 4 cu ft box in my ext. cab truck. So just looking for some speakers, like loud lyrics

[wg_ski]

Eminence Alpha 6 plays louder than most anything made for a car. And it comes in a 4 ohm version now for that purpose. The catch is there is NO bass.

Well that's no good... what about Barry White's new spoken word album?

Good call Johnny. It's really a 7" though and it's huge and deep. He might look at dremel-ing the shielding off it to make it more compact.

Another possibility might be a sealed back pro mid like the little Pyle. In that limited range it might do alright and it's pretty shallow already.

Can you give me a link to that one you are talking about? And what tweeters would you recommend?

Yeah, Cole- I'm with Pete! I actually missed your sarcastic-mug around these parts, as you always inflict so much laughter on me. It really is good to have you back!

I didn't recommend the TB 6.5... There is a link to it just above us here, by the way. Looks like this one: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/show...number=264-852

That would be a great driver for your purpose as well.

I would recommend buying a pre-matched component set or going for an active setup if you are looking to go 2-way here. The new Infinity Kappa series are a ~2 ohm design and offer high sensitivity with no need to worry about building a crossover. I think other manufacturers offer high sensitivity designs as well.

I don't know your skill level on DIY car audio, but mixing and matching mids and tweets can be a royal pain without measurements to build a crossover from. Better to just go active.

I have a nice crossover for sale in the classifies that would work awesome for you

Anyone else with advice?
