The Tang Band W3-881SJF is an exceptional 3" transducer that features a PPM cone, Santoprene surround, cast aluminum frame, and powerful underhung-design ceramic motor. Its copper-clad aluminum wire voice coil is wound on a polyimide former, the combination of which provides high power handling and extended HF response. The W3-881SJF is an ideal choice for single driver full-range applications, as well as deployment in multiple speaker configurations such as line arrays.

Best Answer: Yes although a vented box is recommended. With internal dimensions of 4.5" x 4.5" x 5" and a port that is 1" diameter and 3 long you can expect a tuning frequency of 99 hz.
Best Answer: The recommended volume for a pair of these is 0.11 cubic feet with a 1" diameter, 1.5 long port.
Best Answer: A volume of 0.1 cubic feet will work well. I would recommend a port that is 1" in diameter and 1-1/4" long for a tuning frequency of 100 Hz.
Best Answer: Answering my own question. I have a pair of these that i purchased and installed in my vehicle. They are in the dash off axis 90 and up close to the glass. I ran some sweeps and found that they play very well from 388 to 6088 even in this less than optimal location.
Best Answer: I would recommend 0.13 cubic feet for both with a single 1" diameter, 1.25" long port for a tuning frequency of 96 Hz.
Best Answer: Sold individually.
Best Answer: Santoprene is a type of rubber compound that is more resilient to the elements and will last longer than other types of rubber surrounds, such as Butyl rubber or foam.
Best Answer: I use these drivers in small ported (base-reflex) enclosures for the top-end with a 100Hz crossover and 12" sub. I've found that they do very well in this configuration and produce surprisingly high distortion-free SPLs. While doing testing with these drivers in my enclosures without a sub, I discovered their distortion-free SPL peak drops off very quickly below 100Hz. You may be able to push them further down with a bass-tuned enclosure if you're knowledgeable about enclosure design.
Best Answer: Just the two 3-inchers and two passive radiators????
If so, no bottom end. I wouldn't push more than about 8-10 watts through these drivers, each. Though, they are very flat & wide band. I don't cut them in before 400 or 500 Hertz 2nd or 3rd order. So you'd need something to cover the bottom octave and a half. 30-500 Hz.
Best Answer: I usually use self tapping No. 6 or No. 8 screws to mount small units such as this, but what you need will also depend on the nature of the mounting board.

Very close match to a different 3” driver that PE doesn’t sell.
needed a small full range speeker.. looks good .. now to see if it sounds good
working on a speaker mannequin and needed some small speakers
