It is still a bipole (of sorts). If you are using one speaker for left, and another for right, it would really be called stereo (of a sort)

should i brace the back of the drivers? maybe with some dowels from each speaker to the diagonal divider.

I strongly beleive in driver braces. The best brace is the one the distributes energy to as much/many panels as possible. Dowels are one of the least effective, but better than nothing.

Finished my prototype.

Love it, Thanks everyone. I use those salvage cambridge speaker and put a diagonal partition inside. It actually sounds awesome outdoors, perfect party speaker.
Now i want to start designing the final box. When I find what drivers i want, what the next step. How do start mapping out the box to get to full potential out of the drivers? And is it possibly to make a horn or transmission line in a tower like mine

cute, but save yourself some grief and refrain from the thinking that the concepts of "DIY audio" and "final.. anything" are congruent

all kidding aside, just enjoy

....just lovely!

Wow, never expected that kind of response. just looking for information. its not going to be an a class speaker that you guys are used to.
For a second forget the novelty of the speaker. After finding drivers with parameters, whats the next step?

johnnyfive82 · 14th November 2009, 01:10 AM

better question, what should I be looking for in driver selection.
Thanks

There are lots of good drivers, we all have our favorites. In this case you could choose CHR-70 or EL70, and use the box already designed.

Doing your own design and maintainint he above ML-TL format, you will need the MJK sheets for running simulations,

If you want to design: Quarter Wavelength Loudspeaker Design

If you want MLTL plans for certain popular drivers, or to learn about MLTL's: Brines Acoustics

If you are interested in BVR's etc., lots of plans here: The Spawn Family of Double Horns
