I've been trying to find some photos or plans to this speaker. Does anyone recognize this Dayton-based speaker design?
It seems to be comprised of a 12" Dayton Reference Sub-woofer, 8" Reference bass/mid, 2" Reference Mid, and one of Dayton's Dome Tweeters.
The cabinets seems to be a tapering tower with an additional cabinet flair at bottom where the sub-woofer is. The cabinet clearly tapers along the sides, but in the first video there are hints that it might taper front to back as well, that is a section of the front panel leans back. This is most evident if you freeze the first video where he is reviewing the woofer.
Here are some review videos to give you a clue as to the cabinet design.
Dayton 12" Sub-Woofer-
Dayton 8" Bass -
Dayton 2: Mid -
The reviews themselves are fairly shallow with a few mistakes, and I question why he would build everything out of 4 ohm components especially when using a built-in passive sub (assumed). And, the further purpose of posting the links to the videos is to give better views of the cabinet.
My main concern is for the tapered tower design, and whether this is something he threw together himself, or if it is an existing design he copied?
I've seen several tapered tower designs, but again, I'm wondering if this person made up this design, or whether he copied if from somewhere. If it look familiar to you, let me know.
Thanks.
