New to these forums, so I'm a bit overwhelmed with the amount of information presented to me.
So I am looking to build a pair of bookshelf 3way speakers using these drivers:
Vifa XT25TG30-04s HIGHs
HiVi F5s MIDs
HiVi F8s LOWs
I will be building the crossover myself as well. I plan on making these speakers bi-amp ready and I plan on utilizing an external crossover enclosure.
I plan on utilizing a slanted front baffle with facets and an offset tweeter but I wanted to keep the drivers facing parallel to the ground in order to keep the tweeters as close to ear height as possible.
The goal for the slanted baffle is to try and time align the drivers without having to do a stepped baffle, though I'm not sure how well the angled baffle will pull that off. It will also help reduce the number of parallel panels as the sides will also be angled. The rear panel will be perpendicular to the ground and the top/bottom panels will be parallel to each other.
I planned on putting the F5 in a sealed sub-enclosure with the XT25 in the same airspace, unless that sends up red flags for anyone?
The F8 would be in a ported enclosure.
The primary use of these speakers would be for listening to music in a 2ch/2.1ch configuration depending on the music I'm listening to, but would also be used in a 5.1config for movies and games.
I've got access to plenty of woodworking tools and plenty of time on my hands as this will be a summer project to do with my father.
Any and ALL input/opinions/suggestions you guys might have would be greatly appreciated!
