    A quick explanation by H9

    Why does any manufacturer use different drivers for different positions in a speaker design. They used different drivers because they needed the drivers to have sightly different characteristics in order for them to sound the way they wanted them in their design.

    That's the "why"; as to the differences, the engineers would know, but you don't need to know the differences because you probably wouldn't understand how they correlate to the speaker design. I'm sure the "f", "q", and other parameters are different as well as the impedence, etc. You need to know what you need in your particular model speaker and replace with the same thing.

    yep my SDA1 signatures use mw6600 for bass and stereo drivers and mw6501 for diminsional drivers. I can't remember but i thought the 6501 was 8ohm so if it connected through the diminsiona XO's would that make it 4ohm? or do i have it backwards?
