Dual Dayton RS225s, RS52 mid dome, and Vifa XT25. Dressed in black glossy formica and red oak wood panels. No xo yet, work still in progress. Thanks for looking!

An externally hosted image should be here but it was not working when we last tested it.
You want to turn your router speed down though to avoid the burns on the oak.
Thanks Al, I tried different speeds and always end up with the same problem. May be I'm just not going fast enough, but oak splinters if I route too fast. The burn marks disappear with sanding though.

Is that the XT-19 tweet? What XO, rolloff do you plan to implement?
Hi Shaun, I haven't decided on the final xo points yet, but initially, it's going to be approximately 700/3,400, and at least a 4th order slope. We'll see how they measure out. Thanks.
Great looking speakers! Do you have any shots during construction? What is the internal layout like? And to think, you built the whole thing with one clamp.😀
Thanks Patrick. Yes, only one clamp was used. Release the clamp and the whole thing falls apart! The construction documentation is here:

Since you have the boxes done and no crossover, why not measure all the individual drivers while mounted in the boxes ... and use those plots for your x-over design? Unless you're already planning on doing that 🙂

That's the intention. I have a Woofer Tester 2 which I will be using for that purpose.

Hi,
Great job, your boxes are very nice, well painted, congratulations.
Looking forward the rest😎

To try and avoid the burning, try running the router the other way. What I mean is if you are pushing it away from your body, try pulling it towards yourself intstead.
hongrn, very nice.
Like you, I am also playing with the Dayton RS52. I am in the process of comparing it to a BG RD40 Planar in the 800hz to 4000hz range.
I am using two ScanSpeak 8554 woofers, one RS52 mid, and Scanspeak Aircirc 6600 tweet.
My guess is that our systems sound fairly similar.

My project runs with two Eton 7-360, Dayton Rs52 and Vifa xt. I'm not very happy with the sound. Have you finished your xover?.
(Mine is a 3th order 830hz-3600Hz)

What aspect of the sound bothers you? Do you have acoustic measurement equipment?
