Did the research, saw how affordable they were, ordered the parts, printed out the cut sheet, and started cutting MDF...so I guess its official.
Total cost for all the drivers and x-over components: $230 (as of 1/20/2014)
The plan is to use these 3 Ochocincos as L/C/R for an HT setup. The surrounds will be some Neo Nano's that currently work as office speakers. They're a bit larger then your typical surrounds, but my intention was to be very frugal with cost, an original goal for the Ochocincos designers. I will be using the 4ohm drivers as thats whats in the Neo Nano's, and my receiver is able to select between 8 and 4ohm.
The reason I chose the Ochocincos is due to the fact that they're using a larger version of the same speaker that are in my Neo Nano's.
Neo Nano: 4" Dayton ND105-4
Ochocincos: 5.25" Dayton ND140-4
The tweeters are different, but my hope is that they will match just fine.
I plan on adding a sub eventually. My guess is these will do just fine. The Neo Nano little 4" driver can put out some decent low end in its ported enclosure...time will tell how this 5.25" driver in a sealed cabinet will do...but with 6 of them...my guess is I'll be happy to wait on the sub for now.
More to come as the build progresses. Speakers and components arrive in two days! I cut what MDF I could, but its 7'f outside, and my bandsaw is out in the garage!
