Gathering some hints from BMR speaker threads, they seem to need a VERY well sealed box, stuffed.
I look forward to reading about your results!

Wonder if anyones ever used like a PVC cap. Saw that recently on another speaker and it seemed like a good idea.

What do folks think about the dayton kabd4100 for prototyping stuff, and ultimately integrating?

These BMR drivers are quite impressive, I have one mounted onto cardboard taped to a 4" pvc cap, playing with stuffing. Gotta say even just putting them above the speakers and tossing on some xovers digitally makes for some impressive imaging, absolutely filling in what I felt was missing with the stock speakers. It is hard to argue with what I'm hearing so at this point I may pursue a 3 way with the drivers I have. Might make a new thread.

Here's some playing around with stuffing. Not sure what the 2khz spike is, have to work that out. They're not mounted to anything particularly rigid. Gonna be a good bit of trial and error, but I'm having fun.
