DIY(!) Car Audio with nonstandard drivers?

[undefined.za]

Hi everyone,

I have been wondering (purely speculative) if it would be possible to use 'standard' drivers in a car audio installation.

Something like the DLS RS6N splits cost R2200.00 (!) and they are middle of the range.

Are there any reasons why someone could not use high quality 'non-car-audio' drivers in a completely DIY setup.

Something like the Visaton G20SC Textile Dome tweeter (http://www.pqsound.co.za/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17_115_117&products_id=832) with the baffle removed, paired with Visaton W 170 S 8ohm 6.5" Woofer (http://www.pqsound.co.za/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=17_115_116&products_id=829).

This would come to less than 2.2k including a DIY passive crossover.

Visaton make very good drivers, so I'm wondering if something like this would be possible. I am aware that these drivers are 8ohms, but that shouldn't be a problem (right?).

Regards,
Chris
