Hello All,
A friend of mine wants help building some speakers for his workshop. The space is about 1300ft2 of almost open space.
Currently he is using a Rogue Sphinx to power some Klipsch KLF30sthat are about dead: couple of woofers no longer working, one crossover needs to be rebuilt, one tweeter needs to be replaced. He's interested in building some new speakers instead of repairing the Klipschs and really likes the look of the Liionidas speakers from Lii Audio. https://www.lii-audio.com/product/p...drivers-simple-and-musical-complete-solution/
I'm worried that these won't be able to fill his workshop like his current speakers.
Any thoughts or recommendations?
TIA

$800 without drivers, eh? Wow. If it was me, I'd go get a pair of 6' X 4' X 3/4" rubber stall mats, cut holes in 'em for FR and Helper - and hang them from the rafters. At 94 lbs each, the drivers would have something to push against. I'll imagine pretty non-resonant too; they wont be re-radiating sound like a ringing wood panel might. Pick up a couple extra to put underneath larger machine tools out there, or to stand on.
for such a room take 2 Lil driver 2 bass, cut the 10" bass driver with an EBP > 120 at ~300 Hz 6 dB

That would be essentially what I would do. Big space needs big physics to 'fill' well.
Could also build something like the econowave.
In a noisy workshop of that size you need t oget enough power and no fullrange driver will eb able to do that. You need something like that existing speaker do fill that space with enough volume, so the Calpamos is a good id, or at least the right direction to go I think.
I'd have to say depends on the OB. Put a Lii F18 on a big non-resonant panel - along with an 18" helper - I'd bet it'd "fill" just fine.
What's the customer expectation anyway? To hear The Who clearly over the table saw operating? Or to have some settling background music while setting up a bunch of clamps. The request for solution kinda left that part out.
In fact, all I heard was the customer liked to look of a commercial OB speaker. Nothing about the sound, so I just assumed that was something special - i.e. box-less - that was wanted.
