I had some free Claude Fable credits to use so I thought it would be interesting to build a skill that incorporated the unibox capabilities. The nice thing is you can start with any specific parameters such as drivers, box size etc and feed it a few parts sources such as parts express, Madison’s etc and it will work through an optimized design comparing models for all the different options from sealed, ported, passive radiator etc. I did a few passes of automated QA but posting here to get some feedback and thought how to make this better.

They date back to 2014... crap, more than 10 years old. I'm sure the reason they caught my eye back then was the 3" edge wound voice coil on a titanium former, dual shorting rings, claims for FEA and Klippel optimized designs, and pretty dang flat impedance curves.

Now, I can imagine a number of interesting things to do with them, especially with some DA25TX tweeters, but folks on the forum couldn't buy them at this point- PE doesn't seem them anymore, I think they haven't for a few years. I'm thinking in terms of an MTM with either of these, working with a dual woofer combo, but which one?

Feels like a lost opportunity... though who knows... Maybe these were just too high tech for PE's general product lines and customers.

A migration was necessary to upgrade the operating system to a version that uses OpenSSl 3.5 or later. This allows for the site to use TLS version 1.3 with hybrid key exchange to take advantage of the...

Future notes:
- I want to move the DNS zone from the current host to a new host. I'm not sure what kind of down that would mean for the forum, but hopefully only a few hours for DNS propogtation
- The site should feel faster, we now have faster CPU's in use

I’m waist deep in parts and it’s a struggle to move forward on everything but I spent some significant time working this out. On a phone right now so details are slim, but here goes. This will...
Tweeter: Peerless DA25TX

Midrange: TBD - FaitalPRO 5FE125, Anarchy 558, MAC-05, and Satori MW13TX are all contenders. Not sure I’ll have time or filament to make test baffles for all, but I’m definitely going to test the FaitalPRO and the Satori.

Woofer (rear firing, separate chamber): Anarchy 708 with a Dayton Audio RSS210-PR in a downfiring situation.

Lots of questions, very little time to get things done. CAD work and progress photos below. Essentially I’m making two trapezoidal enclosures. One shallow enclosure around 4-5 liters for the tweeter and mid. One ~10 liter enclosure for the woofer, PR, and hopefully the crossover.
