    Partsexpress rs722 kit -> Natalie P

    I was wondering if any one knows what all parts come with the RS722 kit because the price for the kit is less than the price of the Natalie P drivers alone, so if any of the crossover parts can be reused at all then it could be a cheap start to a pair of Natalie P speakers.

    The Drivers for the Natalie P alone are approx $250 the RS722 kit comes with all those drivers for $189. I was thinking of buying the Tritrix kit since it is on sale for $119 which seems pretty damn cool. Then somebody said "Well the BAMTM isn't that much more, and I thought to myself "hrm." then I started looking in the kits section and saw the RS722 kit. Maybe I can started on my NatPs afterall.

    I'll be closer if I could find someone interested in buying my BR-S kit I just built ops:. Man this is an addictive hobby.

    *edit*
    Done a bit of research. Assuming the RS722 kit comes with the same crossovers the Dr K MTM does then you only need another $71.58 in XO parts to make it into a NatP assuming Substituting a "1.2mH 14 AWG Perfect Layer Inductor" with a "Jantzen 1.2mH 16 AWG Copper Foil Inductor" is ok.

    That means you could have most of the parts for a set of NatP's not including enlosure, terminals or misc stuff, finishing, dampening, port, etc for $260.58 plus shipping.

    Someone on the PE forums said the RS722 comes with the Dr K crossovers, so if anyone could verify this that'd be awesome :T

    The Natali P uses the unshielded verion of the Rs28, the kit comes with the Shielded one.
    As far as I know the are not interchangeable.

      The rs722 kit seem to be priced individually.

          Building Modula MT (or Natalie P?)
          by fvoelling
          Well, my father-in-law is coming to town next month and can help me build the crossover, so it's time to order the parts (already have the drivers, RS180/RS28a-4).

          Below is my order for the crossovers for the MT (based on philip g's post, so everything should be cool). However, not being...

          I have been reading a lot lately and wanting to build a set of front speakers for the beginning of my HT setup. Well I was thinking about starting off with the Modula MTs for practice and then I could use those as surrounds later when I upgrade the fronts. But, I decided might as well go with the NatPs...

          AWG thickness of 800 series internal wiring
          by nick.h
          Does anyone know the awg thickness of the internal wiring for the 800 series? I noticed the bi-wire connector that comes with the speakers is about 12-14awg. Is it copper? Or do they use silver?

          Solen 10 and 12 awg inductors
          by TNRRClassic
          Does anyone have experience with the 10 awg or 12 awg air core inductors from Solen? I am wondering if they are a good substitute for foil inductors, as the resistance is about the same. Also, they are a little cheaper. I've personally iused an air core inductor larger than 14 awg. I've always used...
