tweeter ohms : 2

woofer ohms : 7

Sorry deef, but that's not much information to work with. I guess you could just try building a box and see what happens? For a 10" speaker you might try a box volume in the range of 60 liters (2 cubic ft). But without having more details about the electrical and mechanical properties of the speaker, it's really just a shot in the dark.

Oh the tweeters are sealed, so the box is only for the 10" woofer .

I don't know how 'pro' it is, and barefoot certainly has more experience on this than I do, but I made a very decent sounding enclosure for a 15" speaker using 15"Hx15"Wx12"D interior measurements... So, for you 10"ers... 10"Hx10"Hx8"D...

I used 3/4" particle board (and a *lot* of caulk)... need to redo it with 3/4" 7-ply, but it's 14 years old and holding strong as a bass cab. Very clean sounding.

Errr.... make that 25"Hx25"Wx15"D for a 15" speaker

10" would end up at... 16.6"Hx16.6"Wx10"D...

Senility sets in early... *sigh*
