Help in building Celestion sl 6000 sub

DAVOhorn58 · 22nd February 2008, 06:22 AM

Dear All,

I would like to build a Celestion sl 6000 sub woofer.

Has anybody built a sub on this principle?

If so what size was the baffle and how far apart were the baffles?

I have all the bits except the acbinet design, so any help would be gratefully received

Is this the dual woofers facing each other with a gap between?

If it is, there is no cabinet, the back and front of the drivers are exposed to the room.

I think the bass rolls off at 6db/octave and EQ has to be applied to bring the bass back up, much like a sealed box.
High Xmax and high Sd are necessary

Hello, how to build the filterbox for the system 6000? If you for some reason just got the speakers

Got my dipoles now but only 3 out of 4 speakers are working... I am happy to supply measurments if needed!

I am on the lookout for a replacement unit, or a repair.

Dimensions of such a cab isn't critical, so can be approximated close enough from this info: http://www.regonaudio.com/Celestial%20Sytem%206000.html
