How to test speakers?

zaydenam · 26th August 2008, 09:10 PM

Hi,

I'm currently building a pair of Zaph's BAMTM speakers for myself. This is my first build and I will post a build thread soon. One question that's been on my mind as I've been working on these speakers is how I should check whether or not I have built the speakers correctly. I'm not sure how'd I do this besides listening to them very carefully. I don't have any listening equipment but I'm just worried that I may not be getting the full potential from Zaph's design because of some error I made during construction.

Thanks,

Zayd

At the very least get the necessary tools to do impedance measurements.
Drivers can be off T/S specs by 15% or more.
