Isobaric - less then $20 - Page 38

The Full Range? - they are very nice - won't knock your socks off with a transistor amp. I go with the HDS kits from Maidsound.
My buddy that came over has a lot of top/high end equipment and the HDS kits and $8 T-TWQT subs left him speechless. The HDS kits don't have much bass, but they are extremely natural sounding. They do need a couple hundred hours to break in.

not too sure where i could get one of these here in the uk, ive seen people run them on av recieves, stereo recieves plus i dont really have the money to buy a new amp for them

The HDS kits are a great buy, the full range drivers have a tough time competing with a good tweeter - IMO.

I think you have some buying power over there right? The HDS kits are only 84 GBP (each) to offset the shipping.

btw save any lead sheeting you may find; for very unique speaker lining, lead is wonderful. Easy to do, but be careful with it, wash hands etc. These are lead lined (and HDS design).

Still going, maybe I'll knock these out over the 3-day weekend.

I put the drivers on both sides of the speaker board (back and front), so the cones will be closer (vs. both on same side).

Madisound needs to work on that add/page; I think they could sell 1,000s if they showed a few more pics.
Here is the tweeter (I like the buy-4-price over on this site!!) ($29.32, free shipping at $100, hummmmm)

Vifa XT25TG30-04 1" Dual Ring Radiator Tweeter 264-1016

This pic is the pre-made crossover.

btw, the HDS speaker is a sealed box.

btw II the tweeter works so well its laughable

The voice coil is not where you would think, it's in the center of the rings.

i'd buy them if it wasnt for shipping costs

Here's the new build.

My old camera stopped working, not loving this new one.
