Subject: Re: 2 x 12" drivers


Hi,
if you want to use two drivers in the same cabinet then place them in opposite faces. This helps cancel the force that each puts into the cabinet when the cone is accelerated.
If you now turn one of the drivers back to front and wire it out of phase there is some cancellation of distortion.
Check that both speaker cones move outwards when a 1.5V battery is attach to the terminals.

You can run the drivers in parallel from the same amplifier
or
you can run the drivers in series from the same amplifier
or
you can run each driver from it's own dedicated amplifier.
I do this last option, 170W into each 8ohm driver.
The dual driver cabinet is recommended for between 1kW and 2kW into 4ohm, but I am not entertaining a 200 person audience.
