Hi guys!
Hoping you can help me. I am new to this realm of DIY speakers and was looking to embark on my first project. After millions of hours of reading, I have decided my best action will be to build a DIY speaker that is cheap, tried and tested and has extensive plans attached.
The Sten IIs from the Curts Speaker Design Works web site seems the go.
I want to build to his specs, listen, learn and adjust.
Problem I have is I can't find the Aura NS6 drivers he's suggesting, for sale. They're discontinued it seems on the PE site and the Madisound site.
Can anyone please suggest either a replacement driver of similar spec, or suggest a place I can purchase the Auras?
I am happy to spend up to maybe $35 per driver if necessary. Being my first project I was hoping to get out of it reasonably cheap to save on costly mistakes.
Any help greatly appreciated.
Regards
-Mitch

Someone over at PE said there was some on ebay - Also, If you ask over at the PE forum, someone may be willing to sell some Ns6s. Obviously most of them would be in America though...
There are plenty of low cost, good sounding designs to start one's DIY experience. Not worth getting hung up on an NLA design.
Thanks fellas!
Would this design be suitable for an alternate driver?
Whats your thoughts on modifying the cabinet slightly to accommodate a set of Dayton DC-160s?
I know what you mean fastbike1, I'd spent so much time looking for comprehensive designs for my first build, I didnt check the actual availability of parts.
Thanks again!

Different driver = different design = different crossover.
If you're thinking about the DC160, take a look at this design:
