10F/8424 & RS225-8 FAST / WAW Ref Monitor

Istvan,

If I am not wrong, the B80 bezel is only 3.3mm thick. Did you make your rebate for the B80 bezel deeper?

If you are using 6mm ply to make the small baffle, then possibly you will have a 2.5-3mm of the small baffle sticking out over the main baffle (assuming that your existing rebate is 3-3.5 mm deep)?
 
Zman, the new baffle will come on top, not into the cut out of the B80. It will cover the whole old cut out and will have a bigger diameter, approx 20 mm plus. So I can flush mount the 10F into this new baffle. That's why it will come to the 5 mm offset. I will mount the 10F with M3x6 mm screws instead of wood screws. That's the plan🙂

Thanks both! I am in the UK so no access to that specific jantzen inductor from PE.

I am ordering parts from a Visaton reseller so 3.3mH/1.0r is the biggest air core they have.

I could get a bigger iron core one and unwind it but I don't have confidence/equipment for getting the target value right.

So I think I will stick with 3.3mH. Thanks again!
In the UK, Willys HiFi have a good selection of air cored inductors and will wind downwards for you.

Here's another pair of the monitors built. Went for B80 because of local availability and aesthetics. It matches the woofer as if it's a smaller Dayton RS series driver.
Really enjoying the sound these produce for any genre of music. Superb instrument separation and really tight bass. I have to put them right near the walls and it gives a very welcome bass boost, so they reach 40hz without eq.

Thanks for the reply.
I just bit the bullet and got a par of 10F. Gonna do it right, stick to a known good formula.
Ill re-use my current RS225-8 and and new 10Fs... Chop up the XO I have and redo to your spec....

Cheers again for a great design, very excited to hear these.

Now as for ply, how many sheets of 18mm, I presume one 4'x8' per speaker?

Regards
