Haven't been on the tools for a while. Previously, have dabbled with Altec, Tannoy, Azura, Iwata, Jabo horns.
For my own use, I'm now building a large stereo centre channel speaker, which will also double as my two-channel speaker for the living room. (We live in a unit, so there is not a lot of room.) See pic where the word PEACE is shown...just below the large TV.
Box:
x2 36 liters (1.26 ft3) boxes anchored together, ported, 36Hz @ F3, 780mm wide x 250mm tall x 300mm deep. 18mm MDF, braced.
Drivers:
SB Audience Bianco 44 CD-PK compression drivers, one inch
SB Audience H225 one-inch horn, 800Hz Fs
Dayton RS225 8-inch woofers (Reference Series)
Xover:
Initially, first order @ 1,600Hz to get me started.
Amps:
Cheapie valve/Bluetooth preamp/DAC
Rotel 60-watt power amp

Ha. Actually, I used my outdoor dining table as a workbench. However, no routering or sanding allowed...!!
Finished fitting the speakers and building the grill frames. Hacking into a new expensive wall unit with a Multi Tool was a little scary. Sounding good. Grill cloth to add, plus re-wire the pre-amp so it sits outside of the drawer. Makes the little Yamaha and Sanyo centre channels look cheesy by comparison.
