Can I make these into a Sub


Ok, I'm a novice... but, I have a couple of Peavey 115 International series III speakers that were given to me.  Can I just add a cross-over or something and use them as subs?

Crazier... I'm in a small room (supposed to be my office.  It's 6' x 12' (7' 6" ceilings).  Lots of shelves with records and such.  I play a lot of jazz, blues, and 70's rock-n-roll.  Usually, volume is 70-75 dB or less since it's very near field listening.  Speakers are approximately 5' apart.

My system: Pioneer SX-626, Mitsubishi DAG-109 Equalizer, turntable is a Technics SL1200 MKII, Elac Debut 2.0 5.2 Bookshelf speakers (sitting on my desk), and the Peavey 115's sitting on the floor.

By no means audiophile quality, but it sounds pretty good to my old (68 years) ears.

Thoughts?

Thanks... Jerry

Their specs show a low frequency down to 65hz, so no they are not a good candidate.  Look for a used 10 or 12” sub or build a kit. Since you have Elac’s what about one of their entry level subs ? Plus 1 on your vintage gear. Happy Listening, Mike B.
