Pioneer B20 build - Help

Rullknufs · 6th November 2010, 06:19 PM

Hi!

I've convinced my dad to try building something with the Pioneer B20. It's cheap and we're buying from Parts Express i think.

But there are some questions...
Is this the tweeter that shall be used? Goldwood GT-1005 Wide Dispersion Piezo Tweeter | Parts-Express.com
What L-pad or resistor should i use? Isn't an L-pad a switchable resistor?

And finally, what enclosure should be used?

We're trying to keep the costs as low as possible since it's just a funny thing to try. I will probably make a build-thread when we get started.

I would suggest to get this tweeter. You will not need a resistor or l-pad- just a 2.2uf capacitor Dayton ND20FA-6 3/4" Neodymium Dome Tweeter | Parts-Express.com or Dayton ND16FA-6 5/8" Neodymium Dome Tweeter | Parts-Express.com

The enclosure could be either of these three types. The half chang or chang, BIB or Nelson Pass TL. Also OB will work.

Are you sure?
I also saw they had "free shipping" for orders above $49, might be interesting?
And parts-express is in europe, right?

Spectrumaudio has it at a different price: Pioneer Breitbandlautsprecher B20FU2051FW
