Dayton DAEX25 Sound Exciter Pair

I put each one on a 24x20" piece of thin birch plywood (3mm or 1/8"). Just some scrap I had around. I thought it sounded significantly better than foam board...looks much cooler too. Now I just have to find a good place to put them. What I really want to try is making guitar speakers from them. I think you could really use these to tailor interesting tone.

btw, You have to prove your not a robot in order to post a review...but I am a robot.

I have always wanted to experiment with a set of these. Regular speakers are going to produce better sound, however, if you have a unique application and don't want to spend alot of money, these may do the job. You will have to play with the material that you mount them to see which is the best one for your application. Cardboard boxes & posterboard produce a nice full sound, but could use some help from some tweeters. Mounting it to a thin sheet of metal produces better highs. I think the guy that mounted them to a 1' sq. sheet of metal/foamcore backed, with tweeters across them and coupled them with a subwoofer has got the right idea. His youtube demo is very compelling. I set these up on boxes with some tweeters across them in my shop driven with 20W/ch. and everyone that walked in was amazed. One guy was so impressed that he bought them for his camper. These didn't work well for my app- The owner of this 100yr. old mansion wanted sound, but didn't want speakers showing. I was hoping to bury them behind drywall in a large room where the in-wall depth is only 2", but the drywall didn't work well as a diaphram.
These will only produce low to moderate sound levels. If you like to crank your sound, stick with traditional speakers. Great little product though. Ideal for those that like to tinker.

A pair of these will work great attached to our steel exterior door for spooking the little ones on Oct 31. The highs are a bit muted in this application, but the large radiating area does nice things for bass response. The Dayton T-Amp seems to provide just the right amount of power to drive these cleanly.
