Finished my computer speakers

fivaxis · 23rd June 2005, 04:24 AM

I used Nokia 5" drivers out of the BMW 3 series, they are actually very good sounding speakers. Also Vifa D25AG shielded tweeters, and crossovers from a Diamond Audio car component set. Beats the hell out of any store bought computer speakers. I also have a 6" sub in a custom box. All wired to the amp of my old Altec Lansing speakers. I built them so the tweeter is right at ear level.

The sound quality is fantastic, I would like to get a better sound card and more watts but that will have to wait a while.

Looks like they can get load enough to make your head spin.

Beautiful!
