Any projects for Seas MCA 15 RCY mids..?

JandG · 28th March 2009, 01:53 PM

I have & like these mids & want to use them in a project. The PMS project might be to complex for me to build. Any other projects I can do with them..? These are exeptional mids for the money & exell even in OB mid work. Thanks for any help.

Astasia Prject - 3 ways loudspeakers
quite a reliable design IMO

Nice Mid, I agree. I made a bi-amped 3-way with a SEAS 27TDFC tweeter and a peerless SLS12 woofer. I like it, but I'm fairly new to the hobby. I had help with the crossover; I could e-mail you a copy of the schemaitc if you are interested.

Yes,I would be intrested in the schematic of your project. Surprised more have not ventured with this mid. Thanks

There's also the Poor Man's Strad from Troel Gravesen.

I guess that venting this mid isn't needed if one lets the woofer doing the appropriate job in the high-bass/low-mid range; Troels often chooses a low cutoff mid/bass point and/or relatively steep slopes which need some added acoustical push in this range. I don't believe the vent is able to significantly affect the impulse/dampening response field because the range it begins to be audible is yet far away from fs/fb.

I built the attached speaker with help from a local diyaudio member, dickmorgan, he assisted me in loudspeaker selection, box and crossover design. Well, let's be honest, he designed the crossover 100% for me.

This is my first endeavour into high quality audio gear and I think it sounds excellent. Unfortunately, I built a huge box out of 1" MDF with tons of bracing so each speaker weighs about 100 pounds. I'm sure I could have built something much more conservative and had an excellent product that actually fits inside the house rather than in the back of the garage

For bi-amping, I use Greg Ball's GB300D on the top and a Peavey CS800 on the bottom. I'm in the process of building another stereo GB300D to replace the CS800. I know, 300Wrms to drive a tweeter and small midrange is a tad overkill... but you can always turn the volume control down.
