Boominator Mini status 2016, and other options for smaller boombox.
I would like to build a boombox for outdoor use this summer. I have great admiration for Saturnus’ Boominator, but I cannot accommodate the size, and do not have the need for such high volumes. I like the back to back driver placement principal, which provides 360 degree sound, and deals with BSC isssues.
I have read through a lot of the Boominator MINI (development thread) over at forum.speakerplans, and have since forgotten much of it. Apologies.
What is the current recommendation for drivers and crossovers?
I suspect that this thread would be a very useful resource for this forum, as I have seen many members seeking help in this area.
I am much more interested in selecting the optimum drivers, and matching them with recommended enclosure volumes, and crossovers. I am not so interested in amplifier/battery/solar charging discussions, as these elements are mostly down to personal preference and operational requirements.
Boominator mini suggested drivers:
Aura NS6 No longer available
Aura NS525 Available
Dayton ND140 Available
Monacor SP60 Component quality decline? Reported poor response 1000-3000hz? This is used in the Accusafe V2 kit, so parts are readily and simply available (in Europe).
I would be grateful if someone more in tune with the Boominator MINI development could summarise the above driver choices, and update us all.
Other options:
Faital Pro 4FE32 No crossover required. Comments please.
Other suggestions for 2 way, or fullrange.
