I'm the type of guy that likes to jump into things full throttle and sometimes do so without taking the proper introductory steps. My first pair of speakers were 6'2" line arrays (single Fountek tweeter with DCX2496) and I've been working on a pair of passive dipoles for the last few months with just a little bit of SoundEasy work. Before I get too far into this I want to tackle a few introductory 2-way speaker designs from scratch, using easy to use drivers. I want to make sure I have a solid understanding of speaker design before I go any further on any projects.
As of now I have the following drivers at my disposal:
4 - RS125
4 - RS150
6 - RS180
2 - RS225
8 - RS28 unshielded
2 - 27TDFC
2 - Dayton Silkie tweeters
4 - Dayton ND20 3/4" tweeters
4 - Hi-Vi BS3
Knowing the RS series have a nasty upper frequency breakup I was thinking it would be in my best interest to get a driver that's easier to tame for an introductory project. I also don't think I want to use a $30 - $40 tweeter for these projects so I'm looking for something less expensive. So, can you guys recommend some inexpensive, easy to use drivers for these projects? If you have any on hand you'd like to sell go ahead and shoot me a PM. The first 2 will probably be bookshelves and I may even build a floorstander later on. My wife is leaving for 9 days next week (I'll miss her to death, but boy am I excited to build!) so I'm hoping to have at least one of these guys finished by then.
Thanks for any help you can give me! ;x(
