About this driver

The Tang Band W2-780SD is a 2″ fullrange with a free-air resonance of 155 Hz and a total Q (Qts) of 0.35. Its efficiency-bandwidth product (EBP) of 397 points toward a ported alignment. In a 0.1 L sealed box it reaches an F3 of 313.1 Hz (Qtc 0.707); a suggested 0.2 L box tuned to 179.2 Hz extends to about 186.3 Hz. See the sealed vs ported guide for how to choose.

modeled estimate

The tweeters below pair well with the Tang Band W2-780SD in a two-way design — each grade is a modeled estimate of the crossover match, with a suggested crossover point. Open any pair in the guided builder to design the crossover and total the parts.

Modeled estimate from T/S + geometry — no measurements. The verdict is robust; it improves with measured FRD/ZMA data.
