Quicky 2 way build

[fish fingers]

..using SB and Viawave drivers. PC packed up so X/O will be a total bodge.
Should have them fired up tonight.. proper build at later date.

Got the first one up and running. Sounds pretty good even without a notch filterhttp://cloud.tapatalk.com/s/596ce403...092838_140.mp4

Cool, what did you use, just a textbook 2-way crossover at 2500 Hz for now?

Pretty much, with L pad. I made a rough calculation on baffle step ie larger coil. I'll try switching polarity on tweet next.

That alu SB woofer is well behaved, the overall sound is surprisingly smooth. I can already hear plenty of low level detail from that tweet

I’ve done pretty much the same thing, used a larger inductor to tame a break up node, and a textbook xo, right out of a Weems book, I think. Then tried a few resistors on the tweeter. Sounded so good I thought I lucked out. Then my measurements revealed a lot of broad dips. It was a good lesson that I am more sensitive to additive peaks than missing valleys.

What size cabinet did you put that woofer in? Will you bother sinking the drivers or just let them be?

It looks nice. Do you have a testing mic? Or are you doing this all by ear?

[fish fingers]

All by ear but i do have a dayton testing mic, unfortunately somewhere else atm.. I'll tidy the x/o up but keep it outside cab until then.
The cab is approx 17-18 litres, I plan to add a layer of thin mdf to recess the drivers.

More listening today, both midbass and ribbon v detailed even at low volume
