Can A Home Audio Woofer Be Exchanged And Used Efficiently With A Car Woofer?
i have a blown home audio speaker and plenty of extra car woofers that are the same size would it be possible to successfully exchange the two without damaging anything? Just about any modern receiver will handle a 4 Ohm load. But the crossover is really what the amplifier circuit “sees” so that doesn’t really make much of a difference. What does make a difference is that the lower impedance will throw off the cross over point for the woofer. How the electro-acoustic perimeters of the woofer match the acoustic properties of the enclosure or “box” also makes a big difference. This kind of thing comes up a lot. People seem to think that as long as the woofer size matches the mounting hole they can willy-nilly go throwing any woofer in there and get satisfactory results. Sometimes there is a distinct lack of bass sometimes it is boomy. Sealed enclosures are more forgiving but that is where using an improper woofer will often give weak bass. Ported enclosures will suffer the same thing but
