Aussie Redback 8" Coaxial Design

farmerjack61 · 21st March 2011, 12:30 PM

I recently purchased two Redback C-2005 from Alltronics. They are an 8" 8R full range coaxial driver with a little tweeter mounted like a mushroom in the centre. The drivers which are very well built are on sale at the moment for $35 ea.

If there is anyone out there that wants to join me in designing a box around this driver, then give me a hoy!

I really don't know, but I have a sneaking suspicion the Redbacks will sound pretty good.

Sure! I am in a messing around phase ATM and I might grab a couple to play with. My son needs a small vocal PA / monitor system and they might fill the bill nicely.

Hello Blackie! I am a Joiner and retired busker - 10yrs playing blues on guitar and harmonica - eased up a bit now because I'm too old and arthritic!

When I was thrashing my acoustic guitar I had a pair of little yellow amps (Crate Taxi's) they were powered by a 7Ah gelcel inside each enclosure. They had an 8" speaker similar to the redback. Everyone made the same remarks about that system. "Boy oh boy those little amps have a 'big' warm sound". The enclosures were in the shape of a foldback wedge and were about 30lt in volume. They were sealed. Vocal reproduction was excellent and my singing improved due to the fact that I could keep pitch with the aid of a little bit of delay on the mike.

It's nice to meet you blackie. The speakers are available from;
8 Ohm 200mm 50W Coax Speaker : PHOTONAGE Discount Electronics Superstore

We will talk again in the next week or two - It's nice to have a bit of engineering knowledge on the job!

Cheers and bye for now, Phil E. - Devonport Tas. 0447 517 054

Greets Phil !

There isn't much data on the website so I guess we will have to wait until we get our hands on them and measure their T/S parameters etc.
I have not bought from Photonage before. What kind of delivery times can we expect?

Regards,
Keith Arnold
