    They don't sound too shoddy actually - a little strong in the midrange.
    I'll hook them up to my Quad 306 next week...

    A forward mid makes them even better candidates for an omni type application. It may sound daft, but as an experiment, lay them on their backs with the tweeter angled so they aim towards the real wall and have a listen.

    Thought the results might be interesting. The imaging will be diffuse, but that can be pleasant. You will still get a stereo image though, but a large one.

    Another thought. Car speakers are usually well magnetically damped, enabling them to be used in all sorts of 'ill terminated' mounting positions. This means that they should respond well to reflex loading. In other words, a well chosen bass port should beef up the bass nicely.

    length of port may be more important than size of hole. you can buy variable tubes that you can play around with

    Oh my god! There's nothing wrong with the bidet is there?

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    You need to know the fundamental resonance of the driver and the cabinet volume.

    I doubt you'll find info on the driver, but you might, T/S parameters would be handy. I can have a stab at a guesstimate if you like. What's the outside diameter of the driver? There'll be a port calculator somewhere. I have a set of ancient but very appropriate G A Briggs tables knocking about.

    I have to say, Alison Krauss and Union Station are sounding pretty damn good on them!
