Where can I find the Q measurements for these woofers as well as others for comparison? I want to build something. I D/L some software (WinISD) to play with but these woofers are not in the database. BTW thanks for all of your input so far. You guys are great!

I thought that the movement of a woofer to produce a 20hz signal was like .125"? Are signals below that of any use? Please elaborate?

So what cabinet design and woofer would make a good sub/end table? Or is this stupid? And what about the rest of my stuff? What would you do? I like the idea of efficient use of floor space and hiding things. Also where can I find the Q's for these woofers? I may build the clones anyway. Your ideas are appreciated.

Hi! Newbe here to this site. A long time ago I built a set of cornwall clones using k33s from Speakerlab not knowing what it was called at the time but I was really in to it in highschool. After many years of parties and abuse I was tired of lugging them around. So I removed the drivers and threw away the boxes. 27 years later I still have them! Now I was thinking about building the boxes (k33s) but as subs disguised as end tables. Then maybe use the speakerlab wa750s and wa5000s as sats. I also have a pair of bose 301 IIs, an old Toshiba 7150 (150x150 watts @8ohms) a SAE P10 amp (100x100 watts @ 8 ohms). Eventually I would like to buy a cheap Active crossover (Alto perhaps?) and a 7.1 reciever and additional speakers so I can tri-amp and surround sound my room. I know I'll get flamed here. I listed everything I have for you to comment on. This is for fun and to build a cheap, somewhat hidden but good sounding home theater type family room that is yet to be drywalled. Its 24' wide x 20' deep x 8' high. I have pre-run several RG6 cables in PVC going across the room front to back for the big screen. I'm not sure where to run the speaker wire yet since they may go on the floor, on or in the wall or ceiling. So, what do you think of Cornwalls as subs? How should they be built? Can they fire downward like 10" off the floor? I like having no passive crossovers. The new HT recievers have mics and EQs plus pre-outs and main-ins on every channel. The active crossovers have timing adjustments, phase adjustments. output adjustments. All that plus my old junk? I think it just might work! OK. Flame away!
