I just got a single sheet of polypropylene for the baffles, measuring about 0.5m x 0.75m x 12mm.
Recapping: the tweeters and mids have pre-made chambers with baffles measuring about 8cm and 10cm sqr. I have over 1.5sqr metres of 25mm plywood, and I intend to use a fraction of that to make 8 to 10L boxes for the Eton woofers.
Suggestions for the front baffle? Size and shape? How should I integrate it with the woofer?

since I am planning on using a mid dome (can't decide which) just a question on the c44 distortion problem:
ceramicman, can you do a measurement of distortion at 400, 500 and 600 with 96dB signal?
would be very helpful to clarify any thoughts on that problem, I consider (as a result of a lot of ABX tests and playing around with my multifx-processor) distortion not to be a real problem as long as it is <1% to 3%...

C-44
Hey Ceramicman,
It's been a while since you posted on your Accuton project. I'm thinking of using the C-44 as well, and was wondering what your impressions of the driver are so far.
Cheers,

Can you post some of the info from this? It seems strange that they would use the C44 in a 2-way. What about the top end?
Yes, how did the result go? Would you reconsider given the new Accuton units out now?CeramicMan said:
Actually, the C44 FR is very nice, it even extends to about 20K...I guess I can understand why they used it as a tweeter, though I would imagine it starts to beam. Still, pretty nice - a tweeter that goes from 1KHz on up, maybe even 800Hz. Hmm...
A very interesting construction indeed! 😀
Engelholm Audio is currently developing a (big) speaker, 4 way, with T&P C12, C44 and C92 (2*6 ohms). As bassunit I have choosen Skaaning (FlexUnits.com) 10 inch unit. The performance is very good and as suspected the off axis is extreemly good!
I agree that the C44 should not be forced to low frequencys, i.e. below 1000Hz. I consider the C44 to be the unit that saves the of axis properties, it's a bridge between a small tweeter and a larg mid, e.g. C12 and C92. 🙂
I recommend you to considder closed box to the mid and use active XO between mid and bass/sub.
Good luck!
