first diy tqwt fullrange speakers

[vinylkid58]

Jeff (vinylkid) can attest to this driver's performance in a slightly retuned version of this one:

I am sure that vinylkid58 (is that right Jeff?) can add specifically to this regarding the FX120 drivers in the "Fonken" enclosures

They're awesome.

No retuning, a completely independent design based on the p10 miniOnken principals.

While not entirely successful for the FE127, the larger Vb, vent area & volume is better suited to the FX120. Looking at your latest trapezoid designs, I may have to copy you again.

Chris, similar situations, and yes the MDF is most free.
Brute Force, that about sums it up - I’ve been doing a lot of things that make common sense, but couldn’t explain why to anyone.
Thanks for the insight; I’ll see about picking up a couple of sheets; now I need a project. I just ran through about 5 - 6 speaker projects in the last month.

It's a little on the large size to post (830k pdf). How about an original pic complete with burn marks.

at least a photo with the subject FX120 - or maybe your ex-GF Alex stole those?

That’s a pretty good job actually, just stopped too soon. Glue up some extra long sanding blocks and sand the heck out of it.

there's a bad joke in there somewhere, but this is a family show

not strange question at all - much of these forum posts deal with intangible subjective opinions -


- the first that come to mind would be the FE126E or FF125WK. I've heard both, and the former really wants a BLH enclosure, while the latter works very well in a moderate sized vented enclosure, perhaps something very much like the MLTL posted earlier - although dimensions would need to be revisited.

I'm not sure they still make the FE126E

FE126e has been discontinued for over a year. FE126En is an evolutional upgrade,

oops - my bad - FWIW,. I think the new En is an minor step forward on that particular model, while the 3 of 5 in new WK series that I've heard are a big improvement over their predecessors

+1

And since the predecessors were already very good...

There could be many.

A fellow stopped into the studio today, he heard the red towers, he was like whatttttt…. I think he wants to see about a full range pair, but the $125 price tag would be too high.

The bass is nice; you may have noticed that I pushed the right side into the corner - tight. I did reconnect the BSC.

Also, the mock up pairs are gone ~ wheelie bin.

*For those who followed this DIY project the lower chambers are not being used, I’ll get back to that someday.


Thanks for your help guys.

Nanook,

Here is a good example of the shallow rabbit cut; MDF cabinets, but they are lead lined. The shallow cut is nice for assembly; the dowels were also a good idea (not mine). No nails, etc.

The plans and speakers are the Zaph SR71 kit (no box).
