Newbie needs project recommendation

Wyloch · 31st August 2010, 08:47 PM

I've successfully built a couple of projects from the partsexpress library as well as other websites maintained by folks such as yourselves.

So I can follow plans, good with a soldering iron, good with woodworking.

But I'm still not a designer, by any means.

For my next project aesthetics will be important. Looking for either a 2-way or 3-way design with the largest driver being near 8". But another requirement is: the drivers must be silver (the color, not the substance).

Accuracy is important, but volume more so for this project. My budget is $400 for components.

Hi,

Strange driver requirement, this fits : Zaph|Audio - Bargain Aluminum MTM
with twin 6.5" drivers volume is good, bass is good for the floorstander.

rgds, sreten.
