    Quicky 2 way build

    ..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?

              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

                Looking to build a set of 3 way speakers
                by 0m3g4
                Looking for some insight from those with more experience in DIY then myself. Here is my current conundrum.

                Option 1
                Canaiolo - highest on my list as far as what I want to build. They are sealed ( plus in my book, hoping for better transient response), they dig deep cjd says in room...

                I want to build a SWOPE HT
                by rustygadget
                I’ve wanted to build my own speakers since I was in middle school, life got in the way but 30 years later I’m finally getting the time to build them and a space to put them in. I’m good with building the cabinets, solder and wiring is not a big deal my question is the BOM - specifically exact...

                Lessons Learned (My Anthology Build)
                by CBM87
                Like others, I caught the DIY bug after building the classic Overnight Sensation MTMs. I realized that store bought speakers in my budget just wouldn't make me happy. I wanted some real tower speakers that wouldn't leave me needing more. I stumbled on the Anthologys page but never found much for feedback...

                Statements, Monitors, & Center 5.1 Build
                by Tkinney1016
                Her is my Statements surround build. I am starting with the Monitors and then will do the full Statements & Center. After the speakers I will do a sub and then upgrade amps, have a new Denon 3313ci for now.

                New to me tools, thanks grandpa!

                And my progress, flat pack done...

                New guy, new build, LOTS of questions.
                by LHD
                I'm highly impressed with the level of detail and help provided by the crew here. I was referred to this site by Mark Seaton while attempting to get some help with a possible build. I can see why he sent me here. I should have probably come here just due to the fact that ThomasW is part of the site....
