Budget surround...tweeter for mach5 mli 65?

m R g S r · 8th September 2011, 07:27 PM

I have a pair of mach5audio mli 65's lying around that I'd like to pair up with some tweeters for rear surround speakers. Any suggestions? A crossover design to go with them would be nice as well. Budget..$50-75 for tweeters and crossover components. (drivers were only like $50-75 total, so don't wanna go too crazy with the other components) Thanks guys!!

I never posted what I did with them...here they are, used as surround back, left and right.
Mach5audio mli 65
Dayton DC28f 1 1/8" silk dome tweeter
Dayton audio grade cap, and air core inductor.
Dayton Gold plated binding posts
3/4" Baltic Birch, mahogany stain
simple 6db/octave BW 3000hz crossover point

If these were being used as main speakers, or anything but surround backs, i would have done a more elaborate crossover network. But this one seems to work fine for the application.

anyway here are some pics!
the start of them...

cut out..drivers mounted.

edges routed / rounded

coat of stain...

all finished

in place on top of my 38hz tang band mini horn subs...one on each side of the couch
