| Best 3" Voigt pipe plans? - Click HERE for Original Thread |
| Glowbug |
Hey all...just picked up a set of Logitech "computer" speakers for next to nothing, and they have these neat 3" full range drivers with aluminum phase plugs. Not bad for $5 each. My plan is to junk the plastic cabinets and build a set of "real" enclosures for them, add BSC if necessary...basically see if I can get some decent sound out of these :D If I can't, oh well, I haven't lost much.
What would you guys recommend? I'm kinda looking at the Fostex FE87 recommend backhorn as a starting point, but English unit plans would help a lot :) What about Voigt pipes? I've got space for just about anything but open baffles :D
Thanks in advance. |

I thought these speakers were big, is there a dimension measurement?
is there a way to find out if the tangband W3-871S would work?
thanks

| 6x6x29in (external). It'd be easy enough to investigate an ML TQWT like these using similar dimensions for the aforementioned drivers. |

Now I have another thread to subscribe to.
Here or elsewhere I fielded a question about the noogies and
and the tangbands. This seems to be a fit for the Voigt pipe
question but I have no idea on how to do the measures. |

What a guy (link to plastichead). He does glue-ups in his living room.
Ya gotta love it.
I tried some floor standing experiments with TB's using
PVC. After that I decided they belonged on the
desktop and so the Voigt/Noogi looks like a better
solution. It's better for the following reason: most
Voigts, while eclypsed by other designs for floor-standers,
are always described as 'forgiving' as far as a build goes.
At 30 inches or so and with the drive down a bit, it
puts the listening height pretty much in the zone for
desktop. |

| Not voight pipe but I used logitech 5300 speakers to make TB3 bipole by Salas. Really like them, small and easy to build. Search for TB3 in this forum. |

if you could forward them to me some how, those plans would be an educating read.
the noogie is a is 1/3 scale abby, so think 2 feet tall. the driver is the ff85k, which to my knowledge is the greatest flux density to cone weight ratio driver fostex or anyone offers in the u.s. with a rising response in the upper range, it gives an effect of a super tweeter that makes 100hz. so above low bass, it can describe near infinite detail, it seems. I have had a blast playing with those drivers.
another thing to look at is the zigmahornet. plans on singledriver.com |

I forget. I tend to think of what most people call a 3 inch, a 2 inch, and a 4 inch a 3 inch. 4.5 goes to 4, and 6.5 goes to 6. 8 is just 8.
I just measure the actual cone.
sorry to not use the same language here.
3 inch, or rather 2 inch drivers probably dissappear the most out of any driver. especially in the nearfield.

Voigt, please, Voigt. P.G.A.H. Voigt you know. ;)
An F-81 variation would be interesting... |

It's on the author's site now, though the drawing is a dead link. You can try emailing him, but with the last update being in 2002, one has to wonder if he's still around: http://xoomer.alice.it/0galavot/limes.html
