In this pic, taken from an awkward angle above while standing on a chair, "The Juke" is lying on its back, with the drivers sitting free. Just for a pic !!

Still lots of work to do to bring it to life, but I'm winning !!

Nice work Andy. But blue with the baffle colours? Its certainly different.

Andy G · 13th July 2007, 02:18 AM

Yep, I agonised for ages about the bass cab colour. I nearly went black, but ''boring'...., and there is a burgundy coat underneath that just didn't work for me. So blue it is !!

Thing is, I can always detach the front and re-colour if I decide to.

Very nice !.............

p.s - My 6 year old son asked if it was some sort of "Dalek"......

Andy G · 13th July 2007, 11:00 AM

Nope.. but they will assimilate you. !!

They are actually ALIVE now.

crikey.. I need a bigger room.. these things have just got sooo much grunt !!!

first hour was a bit harsh, but a couple of resistor tweaks, and they are sounding rather good.

Rabbitz, you about somewhere.. you gotta see these beasties first hand :-)))

Impressive looking speakers Andy. Jaycar Response woofers too if I am correct. May I ask what is the tweeter and the other woofers?

Andy G · 13th July 2007, 12:53 PM

Bass: Jaycar CW-2136: 8ohm each in parallel
Mids: Vifa MG18SK-09-04: 4ohm each in series
tweeter: Seas 27TDFC.

I like the Jaycars for bass, they seem to do a very good job.

The Vifa MG's are sweet mids, could have used them for a boxed MTM, but these are running open back , so the bass drivers are a must

And the Seas tweet.. well enough said ;-))

nice work Andy,
using any sort of EQ on the woofers? where are you crossing them over??

cheers,
Pete McK

Yes Andy, I'm out there in more ways than one.

I'll have to arrange a visit. I'm on the road on Thursday in the PM.... could do 2pm or 5pm.

How's the lower xo on the woofer compared to the Blackwood? Seems a nice crossover point and one of the advantages of the 6.5" mids for sure.

I'm in a middle of a rework of the main system but no major changes to the speaker except for 1 resistor going up and down 0R4.
