Plenty of poke for me, even for trance music etc.

Would you like to give some details of your cabinet design? I bought a pair of FE166E in a fit of enthusiasm but now I'm not sure how I want to use them!

Hello,

My full range dipole with FE207E, no filter, no cabinet, but a current source amplifier ( Amperotron : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/jm.plantefeve/dipolex-fig1.gif ).

First experience with 8" Monacor SP-200X : http://perso.wanadoo.fr/jm.plantefeve/dipolex.html

hi all;

Just wanted to show some pic.s No fancy cab, just something I built of material I had on hand. I would call it a blh. I made the horn mouth large so I could reduce the size easily. What worked best was the horn mouth covered with dense insulation; that brought the bass out. using a test cd, the output was very good in the40-60 hz area.Front and back panels are 1-1/4" thick. Outside demensions are 20x20x13". The horn exits out 2 cutouts.

doggy,

That's a very interesting looking design. Care to show us what the inside looks like?

EDIT: You were posting the answer to my question when I was asking. It looks good. Any problems constricting the horn at the mouth like that?

doggy · 6th October 2005, 06:12 PM

Well I have built a few blh before; and I thought it's easy to change the mouth exit smaller but difficult to enlarge once you have decided on a mouth area. This way it gave me an option to tune it.

EC8010,

WRT the fostex FE166E cabinets, I posted all the details on this forum a few weeks ago, with drawings etc.

I don't know how to link it so just search for FE166E with my user name, and it pops up in the results (with this one now!)

Thank you for that bobhayes; I will go away and inwardly digest.

Hi Jean-Marc,

How this (new) speakers compare to old ones with monacor drivers? What about the bass extension?

Thanks Martin
