Talk:Coaxial loudspeaker

Description
I think the description is for 3-way speakers.

Co-axial speakers are two way speakers, and the two drivers are mounted on a single Axis, rather than in a row or array.

Article in trouble
Yes. Currently the article fails to even mention what a coaxial speaker is. From my own observations vor the years, theyre not the most common speaker type. 82.31.207.100 (talk) 08:33, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

Total rewrite now in progress. Removed material follows 82.31.207.100 (talk) 08:35, 12 January 2011 (UTC)

"Coaxial speakers are perhaps the most common class of loudspeaker. They are found everywhere from cars to high-end speaker cabinets.

There are three main types of coaxial speakers, each serving a unique purpose:

The woofer, also known as a driver, is where the bass comes from. Common sizes include 6", 7", 8", and 10". Then there are subwoofers, which are bulky and are more powerful, with common sizes of 12", 13.5", 15", 16", 18", and even 20".

The second type of coaxial speaker is called a midrange. These are for producing the majority of sounds heard in music, as well as some highs. Common sizes include 3", 4", 5.25", and 6".

The third type of coaxial speaker is the tweeter, also known as the squeaker. This is used to produce the high pitched sounds. common sizes are 0.5", 1", 1.5", and 2"."

Expanded
This article has been expanded to include both car audio speakers and professional concert loudspeakers; two completely different types that are both called coaxial. Binksternet (talk) 22:08, 1 May 2011 (UTC)
