Mushroom01 Posted June 2, 2017 Posted June 2, 2017 So I want to build my first Full Range BLH floor standing speakers. Enclosure of choice is the Tang Band SUG-19-8" FR http://www.tb-speaker.com/products/sug1-19 But.... I have the W8-1808 drivers on hand & not the recommended BLH W8-1772 drivers. I didn't particularly want to purchase 1772's when i already have 1808's. Obviously the enclosure is tuned to the recommended 1772's, so if i did decide to use the 1808 drivers in this enclosure, what possible problems may/will occur with sound quality, by using the 1808 driver with a Qts .44, Vas 3.11. Vs 1772 driver with Qts of .27, Vas 3.34 ? Would you expect a large difference in sound quality performance? https://www.parts-express.com/productcompare.aspx?returnurl=/brand/tang-band/276?N=4294965074+4294967118+4294962835&Nrs=collection()%2Frecord[endeca%3Amatches(.%2C"P_PortalID"%2C"1")+and+endeca%3Amatches(.%2C"P_Searchable"%2C"1")]&PortalID=1&brandSelected=t

Upfront Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Come on!!! Someone must be able to help this fellow DIYer!
Mushroom01 Posted June 8, 2017 Author Posted June 8, 2017 Thanks Upfront for trying to keep this alive, but i've given up on waiting for assistance & i'm now building a bass reflex cab for this driver for now. Cheers! 1
soundbyte Posted June 8, 2017 Posted June 8, 2017 Surprised that Linc had not suggested a swap, but not sure if that would work.
