Would this speaker work?

Metallipad · 25th July 2009, 04:45 PM

Hey

I want to build a pair of small speakers to use as studio monitors, but since I don't know much about this topic I would like some help.

It should be a 2-way speaker with 1'' dome tweeter and 6½'' woofer. I want to build them as active monitors, but I don't know all the things I would need and it's not that important.

Well, I wanted to see if these would be a good match:

Woofer

Tweeter

2-way crossover network

I don't know if it would work, so please tell me.

NOTE: this project is mostly for fun since it's my first DIY speakers

Sorry about possible bad english ( I'm danish)

Tweeter link is pointing to the woofer.

Never a good idea to use an off-the-shelf XO... and if you are making the speakers active you don't need one (the 2 amps/speaker will have a low-level/active XO in front of them).
