- Driver Selection -

I decided to go with all 8 ohm drivers since I would be pushing them directly from my Onkyo receiver. I wanted to use a large 10" woofer just because I grew up with the attitude of bigger is better, but I also felt the system needed to provide ample bass. These criteria led me to the Goldwood GW-10PC-40-8 (#290-324). The driver's frequency response was listed as 36 to 5,000Hz which I felt was low enough for most of my applications. I also chose this driver for its synthetic cone because it is just a personal preference of mine to go with synthetic over paper for the woofer. The midrange and tweeter were then selected in the same brand, which narrowed the field. I selected the Goldwood GM-85/8 5" (#280-115) for the midrange and the Goldwood Mylar GT-302/s 2-3/8" (#270-175) for the tweeter. Like I said previously, I wanted to spend as little as possible and this combination put my total driver cost at about $100.00, which is right about where I wanted it to be.
