usher dancer drivers & crossover

slr 5000 · 13th October 2007, 01:41 AM

hi guys all my talk about building speakers has given my mate the bug and were going to build a speaker for him he wants to build a usher dancer cp8871 clone(2004 model) the drivers it uses are 2x 8" 8955 a per cab for bass 1 x 8945a for mid and 1x 9950 for tweet we have found a site with all the details including the cab measurements crossover points and the crossover schematic but it doesnt show the component values my questions are
1 is there a way i can work out what the component values should be using the schematic the driver parramiters and crossover points
2 does anyone have any experiance with these drivers and if so were they positive
any help would be greatly appreciated cheers

Probably you will be using different drivers, or not?

Yeah they're nice looking units huh !

Where did you find all the info you already have ?

hi mate i found all the info on an audio express review site it gives a full technichal reveiw of the 2004 series of the speakers which includes the cabinet dimensions/construction the crossover slopes and even the crossover schematic but it doesnt include the crossover component values which is where my problem lies all i need is those values and my mate and i can build the speakers the usher drivers are really good value too the only other option i have is to pay someone to design a crossover for them but i dont know anywhere i can get this done cheers

hi mate i was actually wondering if i could use that one some how but adding an extra woofer in parrallel would require a totaly different crossover i think. its killing me having the proper schematic without the values im so close but still so far if only i knew someone with those speakers
