Need Good Drivers in India!!!

[vernonferrao]

Hi Sumit,
Thanks for replying. Im totally new to this so please bear with me ok
I plan on building an amp as well as compatible speakers. I dont expect it that it will be perfectly designed but just to make a start for now.
Basically wat i want to know is that if i use LM3886 that has a spec of approx 68W output ( I know that this is only attainable under certain circumstances), how should i go about making the speaker for it? What wattage should the woofer and tweeter be?
Is there any rule of thumb for this?
I have heard of Thiele/Small parameters but im not at that level as yet.(lots of studying to do)

I have absolutely no idea about cost but im willing to spend(and learn). How much will decent drivers be???
The room is abt 10mx6m.
I would like the look of tall floorstanding speakers.
These are for listening to music.
I live in Goa but i think i should be able to get stuff from Bangalore if you/someone can tell me where

Thanks,
Vernon

hi..

" What wattage should the woofer and tweeter be? " Because u are starting... start with Bolton... go for a 8ohms, 8" woofer (rs380 or so) with about 60 to 80 watts of power handling. For tweeter go for the 3" cone types...or u can go for the 1" domes also ( but these are not good enough)....

if u r willing to spend more u can go for 7" woofers and 1" domes from Vifa ( http://www.corrson.com/). The above site also has diy speaker kits. You can buy and assemble one of their kits to be safe. Play around with the crossovers to learn a lot. Don't play too much if u don't understand what u r doing....probably u would ruin the tweeters.....

Happy diying

Hi Sumit,
This might be a very silly question... but should the impedance of the woofer and tweeter be the same? i.e 8 ohms

hi

No problem if they are same. But it mainly depends on their sencitivity. A 90dB tweeter weather 4 or 8 ohms would require a attenuation network if u want to match it with a 87dB (4ohm or 8ohm) bass driver.

a pair of xt25tg30-04 tweeters for sale.

Hello, I have a pair of Vifa XT25TG30-04 tweeters which i want to dispose off. They are brand new. One of them has been used for impedance and spl measurments. Both are absolutely new otherwise. I am planning on using the 9800 SS tweeters and thats why want to dispose these. U can mail me at akshayjha@rediffmail.com
