Made some dust....

.. for the first time in many months !

1.2m tall, 1.5" thick
Selenium D210TI on 6" wave guide
Beyma 6Mi80 (hi-efficiency mid)
2 x 15" Etone PA drivers.

if you look at the left one, you can see where I stuffed up and had to replace the section around the mid. forgot to check the router bit depth.. doh !!

I bet the router was feeling warm after that

Are these going to be open baffle? the mids at least... box construction will be a challenge if they are not!

Yep , all open baffle, but facility is in mind to add wings should they be required to get extra bass.

And with drivers test fitted..

..." extra bass "... chuckle/snort! no, seriously they look great and maybe would make your ears bleed from a 1 watt amp? The Selenium and Beyma are still available?

1 what ??

I'll be using my PA amps because they all have graphic EQ built into their cabinets
So, that's a Mackie M-1400, a Tapco J800, and a Behringer A500.
I have a Behringer CX3400 to do the x-o work. Gunna be fun

I hope that is enough power for a small lounge room

The Beyma I got from in Sydney.. the Krix dealers iirc

The Selenium I got from a MAdisound sale, at $25US each, about $47 each, landed. iirc

I think you are going to need some more grunt Andy, I hear you have a reallyy big lounge-room ( at least it would be if it wasn't full of projects ) I use the CX 3400 and it is adequate but a little noisy, are all the amp inputs balanced?

Hi Andy,

'Nice looking project - those big pro woofers look tasty! What sort of crossover points are you looking at?

I'll be using the Tascam CD-401 (its output is down quite a bit cos its getting old

so, yes, all connections up to the amps will be fully balanced.

Lounge room is a 'nice' size. and its not 'that' full of loudspeakers.. methinks someone was exaggerating

Old Australian pastime then, exaggerate for emphasis, otherwise known as friendly **
