Custom center channel and a fireplace

V4 - 4xDC130B + PT6816

Another kick at the can.

This uses quad woofers (sealed seperate chambers) and a planar. The outer 2 woofers X0=BW2@500, the inner 2 woofers XO=BW2@800 and planar XO=BW3@800 (needed some extra phase shift). Sim in 4pi space.

V5 - 2xDC130B-4 + 3FE25-8 + TD20F

This is more typical of current 3way center channel designs. The midrange (3FE25-8) is pushed down to allow the woofers to come closer together and make room for a small tweeter.

It looks like it works very well. There is a small LF bump and dip because the BR tuning is off after I moved the internal walls and changed the volume. The LF woofer XO=BW2@500Hz and midrange XO=BW3@500Hz (extra phase required). I would need to create a finer mesh to check the MF-HF XO=BW3@5Khz or so.
