T18REX/XFC (H1353) 7" Coaxial. I'm building a pair for my bookshelf. Space is a little tight so I'd like to go with a sealed enclosure. But, when I run the numbers it doesn't look too good. F3 is around 90 but someone else told me 115 when they ran the numbers for whatever reason. I have a subwoofer that will be paired with them and plan on 80hz crossover point (thats what sounded best in my room with the old speakers). Anything above that and I could hear sound directing from the sub.
So do you think I'm going in the wrong direction? IF I really HAVE to, I can go with the smallest recommended ported which is F3 of 59. Keeping in mind they have to be placed on a bookshelf (yuk, I know) and previous speakers got 'some' bass boost from their location.
I'll probably build both boxes and listen to how they sound. But would appreciate some advice and recommendations from y'all. Maybe you can save me some time, $$ and headaches. Thanks.
