Tweeters and woofers are made from drivers, just bigger and smaller ones yes, But the TERMINOLOGY for tweeter refers only to high frequency drivers, and woofers = bass. There\'s no way of saying they are teh same thing, yes, they\'re both drivers. But calling a tweeter the same thing as a woofer is wrong. Not because they\'re the same driver, but because the words themselves reflect different scales in the driver range. I wish you\'d just accept this and stop saying they can both be concided woofers.
Agreed and accepted. I finally see your point.
Thats all the terminology refers too, so calling a tweeter a woofer is wrong. It\'s like saying a High level freq device is the same as a low level one. You can not call a tweeter a woofer because simply its not a low frequency high frequency device is it. We are saying the same thing, but your referring to the terminologies as the drivers themselves. When it refers to ranges, not drivers.
correct. That\'s why it\'s correct to called a tweeter a tweeter, and a woofer a woofer. Kind of the same could be said about a subwoofer is not a full range speaker, and a full range speaker is not a subwoofer. Because a subwoofer only play bass level frequencies, while a full range speaker can play up to midrange and treble frequencies. I thought fatalXception was saying a subwoofer as a full range speaker when he wrote 18" subwoofer as a speaker. Now reading it again, I realized he doesn\'t meant the sub as a full range speaker. Because sub is a speaker. To me, whenever someone said a speaker, i always get the impresions they mean full range speaker, and never thought they also mean subwoofer. That is why i thought fatalxception was wrong when he said a sub is a speaker, now I realize what he meant. Its just that we have different interpretation of what the word "speaker" really mean...
Think of it like this, you calling woofers and tweeters woofers is like calling running and walking the same thing, in both you move your legs in similar ways, the process is the same, and they get your somewhere, but they\'re 2 different things.
Very good comparison. I do see your point there. That could be use to say the same about a subwoofer and a full range speaker too. Again, I am just saying a full range speaker, not speaker...because whenever somebody said speaker, I always assumed they meant full range speakers...
here\'s another way to understand it. Woofer = low freq driver. Tweeter = high freq driver. But don\'t confuse the word woofer and tweeter as another name for driver. They are only referring to the freq level that the driver can respond to.
are you understanding yet? theres no way to call a tweeter the same thing as a subwoofer. Yes there both drivers, but a woofer isn\'t a tweeter and a tweeter isn\'t a woofer..
You are right. But woofers and tweeters does have one thing in common, and that they convert electric signal into audio waveforms...beside that, you are pretty much right on what you are saying.
mm = millimetres. 100mm per 1cm.
thats what got me confused. Are you sure 100mm = 1 cm? I just checked to be sure that and I remember the difference between cm to mm is only 1 step, not 2 steps....
