S'pose one wanted to make mini-4430 using 2404H-1. What would be the appropriate woofer to make a system that actually sounded good?

2118H wouldn't have extended bass.

Thinkin' Biradial Mini-Monitor here....

That thought was also going through my mind. I was thinking along the 115 series for LF...

Yup. 115H-1 looks right. Gotta look up the specs, now.

[Hee, hee....]

Giskard likes mini-monitors. He's probably tried this already....

I bought a pair of 4312M last year during a business trip in Tokio
When I saw them I loved, but when finally I had hooked them at my home stereo I decided to keep them just as a "collector " item
Very nice to look, but not to listen.
Speakers are made in china and as stated by Anthony, very cheap.

But anyway, they look wonderfull

Well, I did some relative measurements with the 2404 vs. the 2344, with a comparitive size of .4063. Scaling down a 4430 by that factor results in a cabinet that's smaller than L20T's, so they'd definitely be lacking in the low end. It'd still be fun, (and cute).

That gets a 6" woofer, so we have that right.

Smaller than L20T, huh? That's PERFECT!

We'll make 'em deeper, if necessary. Nobody that doesn't have 'em knows how shallow 4430's actually are....

L20T's crossed at 3 Khz. We're good to go!

I know where to get grille cloth.

No compensation required for the tweeter, looks like:

Tell us, please, Giskard, which crossovers to build for these....

We need to look at http://audioheritage.org/vbulletin/s...tor+comparison #5, #6. It should be close enough for fun, maybe with a little HF padding...eve the 2404H-1 is good to at least 15K.

Edit: Sheesh - you beat me to it...

BTW - I think a moderator should move the last few posts to DIY - we've gotten kinda O.T. here...

Make it a 4435 so you can squeeze that extra LF from an added woofer.

I'm all about this

Prelim design: (mods - please move this mini 4430 stuff to DIY):

Edit: Thanks, mods!
