MarkAudio OM-MF4 (6cm only)

Have a look… lower SPL and deeper fs. All in all maybe a smoother over all response…
When in an unknown future some pairs may arrive, let’s listen 👂 Okay? Then we can tell more about the differences.

Good morning, I’m trying to make this loudspeakers using the wood as in this video:
I have a table saw and it would be a satisfaction to build them by myself.
May I ask you some suggestions?
1) Could you help to find the dimensions of the pieces to cut? Everything I found is only written in Japanese. Only the main dimensions and the thickness should be enough
2) I live in Italy, do you suggest to use the original Mark Audio OM-MF4 as driver or to buy something compatible?
I thank you very much for the help
 
Ohh Nandappe you are great! Thank you.
If the drivers are the same, so I think to buy the CHN-40 from this site: https://www.costruireaudio.com/index.php?route=checkout/checkout at the price 48,16€ shipping included. The other components (loudspeakers connection and insulation) from Amazon.
If possible I think to increase a little bit the thickness of the external panels (front and side to 12-13 mm) in order to have more wood for the router work on the front edges. I hope that leaving the internal dimensions as the project, this change will not make the sound worse.

Watch out for different dB scales. 0 to 100 dB, and -20 to 100 dB. They should make both scales -1000dB to +1000dB and they would be very flat.
 
'Should?' Jeff Bagby and John Krutke (Zaph) to name two would disagree. 😉

Except for larger loudspeakers with drivers spread over a large baffle area (or wide baffle types), 1m tends to result in excess resonances from room modes. Since farfield starts from roughly 3x-5x the effective radiating diameter away, that's usually a better point to measure from, providing it's also at least twice the baffle diameter to properly show step-loss. It doesn't provide a normalised 1m SPL value, but you can level match if necessary.
