what the hell?
you can make a speaker box in 3 days time if you do a little bit each time before bed.
waiting 3 days to build the box isnt the end of the world.
if you purchase something online you still have to wait 3-4 days for shipping..!
what is really absurd is the fact that you say these speakers are too big for skype.
you dont want 3 inch or 2 inch speakers trying to recreate voices.. they dont have the cone area to move enough air to pronunciate the words.
making it difficult for the people to understand what is being said.
i think the sound card could power an 8 ohm load.. maybe not the best advice i have given, but asking for these kind of options is like having poop smeared all over your legs.. it just shouldnt ever happen.
and i really think that some old thrift store speakers wont be able to handle the power given out by todays receivers (or yesterdays receivers) without burning up the voice coil.. that is why i mentioned them.
as of right now.. my speakers are not in a box whatsoever.
the twelves where causing too much pressure so i had to take two slices of cardboard and cut them into a square & screw the cardboard over the hole.
then i poked a wire in the cardboard and ran the terminal wires through to place the midrange on top of the box.
i re-calibrated my equalizer and havent looked back.
the cones dont move enough to really take advantage of a box.. yes the box might dampen the cone and provide better/worse characterization of the final output, but i dont play with that much sound pressure to notice or need such a thing.
any bass that would come out of a bass reflex box for the midranges would immediately be drown out by the twelve inch woofers.. so i believe i have made a solid decision for my situation.
listening to my midranges with your ear right up to them clearly notes that the speakers are being used with a crossover because they dont have much bass at all.. they sound like 'tin' or 'aluminum' until you step back and give the 3-way set a chance to blend in together.
