Iowa DIY 2026 - ElectRelics

[technodanvan]

This project is kind of a rush since I’m trying to get it done by IowaDIY in the middle of October. I’m waist deep in parts and it’s a struggle to move forward on everything but I spent some significant time working this out. On a phone right now so details are slim, but here goes. This will hopefully be a largish bookshelf that pushes my 3D printers to their capacity.

Tweeter: Peerless DA25TX

Midrange: TBD - FaitalPRO 5FE125, Anarchy 558, MAC-05, and Satori MW13TX are all contenders. Not sure I’ll have time or filament to make test baffles for all, but I’m definitely going to test the FaitalPRO and the Satori.

Woofer (rear firing, separate chamber): Anarchy 708 with a Dayton Audio RSS210-PR in a downfiring situation.

Lots of questions, very little time to get things done. CAD work and progress photos below. Essentially I’m making two trapezoidal enclosures. One shallow enclosure around 4-5 liters for the tweeter and mid. One ~10 liter enclosure for the woofer, PR, and hopefully the crossover.

Interesting progress, but I know from experience that getting things done on a tight schedule is never easy...

Indeed, this will be pretty tight, especially if some of the crossover parts are difficult to source. Here's hoping I have most of what will eventually be needed.

The color of the Satori matches really well with the baffle, IMO. It's less black than the 5FE125 and is close to the shade of gray selected. Baffle for that one is printing now.
