Wow that was fast!
I have a pair if SRM12B that I bought to experiment with
Just curious, I thought the Manley crossovers were designed for 10b and their special studio enclosure…I know a lot of people mix and match the Tannoy drivers/crossovers depending on enclosures and etc
What was your enclosure/crossover recipe based on?

Hi, I have also some many tannoys on my hands in last 30 years. From silver to red to gold to hpd(the worst tannoy drivers if you ask me) than 3828,3839 and so on. For this 3169g I have made no experiments, I just send to Manley the correct driver typ and they send me the crossovers and they sound great. Much better than original from 12x.
I didn’t realize that was service Manley provided…or do you speak of the eBay seller “Mainly Tannoy”…not “Manley Labs”?
hi! I've just started in the diy audio world and I'm planning on building some cabs just like these - may I ask where you got the plans from??! Cheers, Luka
The plans are from original srm12 enclosures. You can find this on hilberlink site, there are many plans for diferent tannoy drivers.
Nop, without braces if mean that, I build this enclosures from birch multiplex so not much worry about vibrationes, for damping I have put standard foam on all sides and acoustic cotton foam behind the driver. 😉
thank you so much for these tips. my build is slowly coming together. how big did you make the speaker hole? i cut to the srm12x specifications and it is too small ! and i cannot find information online about what the mounting size is for the 3169g drivers
Hi, Iv used BR tunel with 8cm diameter and 15cm long. I have made some experiment with lenght in my room on speaker position, and the 15cm lenght was the best.
hiya, thank you for the reply. I meant to ask for the size of the hole you cut for the speaker driver- from the plan i have it said the diameter was 271mm but this is too small. so the big hole in which the speaker is placed.
thank you for your time!
thank you for your time!
Hi, I made tha cut out for the driver 280mm in diameter. You have still a little bit of player room on each side, maybe only 1 or 2 milimeter but is enough.
thank you so much. i’ve finished building the cabinet myself now! one problem i have is mounting the driver. did you use nut inserts in the wood? should they go all the way through the wood. i’ve seen different kinds of nut inserts (the ones i used originally seem too shallow to be safe). any further help is much appreciated. it’s sounding good though !!
Hi,yes this was the little red diy enclisure,but than I put the drivers if you have see in 160L also BR and thr sound was much,much better.The speakers have much more deep and precise bass section and also much better soundig by vocals and instruments becose it more bodie in vocals and instruments.And this bigger enclosure I just used standard wood screws.😉
