Single driver full range speakers

You could easily add a separate active subwoofer that has built in active crossovers so you don’t need to add a passive network. 

Adding a woofer to the cabinet with no crossover would mean the woofer would heavily overlap the main driver, which would cause a few issues, and likely not sound too good.  The cabinet volume would also pose an issue by adding a 2nd woofer.

Thanks. Kind of what I was already thinking the advice would be. I’d like to leave the driver passive. I was hoping to leave out trying to design a x-over for just the woofer, but I think that’s my only real option. I don’t really need a woofer in the cabinet, I have dual SVS pro1000 subs that work wonderfully with the full range speakers by it self. Maybe I’m being over curious.

Side note: Are there any speakers out there that are designed using a full range straight wire speaker in conjunction with a cross-overed woofer?  I really love the sound a full range cross-overless driver, they just lack weight/bass.

Let the spit-balling continue.

So you got a speaker that goes from 20hz to 20Khz? That is full range to my knowledge no known driver can do that. More than one driver is needed for proper sound if you’re happy with it just add a small subwoofer and dial it in. For not much comes easy in this world no matter what you do.

I’ve been a long time fan of full range drivers and have built dozens of different versions for myself, and others. Implementation of the drivers and enclosure used, obviously play a big part in how the lower frequencies present.

What enclosure did you set the drivers in?

A “full range speaker”, is the common vernacular for a single driver speaker.Has nothing to do with frequency response beyond the fact a single driver is producing all the frequencies the speaker outputs.

To me frequency response is what the driver can do I don’t care what people say only what science proves for that is what works not what people feel which doesn’t work
