Hi All
I would like to design a 2.1 subwoofer - satellite system. They would be used as monitor system in my small home studio. Something like: Blue Sky MediaDesk 2.1 MKII | Sweetwater.com.
But... where / how do I start?
Cheers
Erik

Xenums/Biumph...
Would these suffice?
Xenums:

Use this for a sub...a 9" cube. The KG3100 from Madisound will fit, but you'll need to enlarge the enclosure to allow for the amp.
Biumph or Triumph, depending on where you get your PR:

It's what I built and use myself, so it does work.

When the satillites are that small ( as I imagine they don't extend real low ; you cross them @ 100 -120hz??) Are the sats ported or sealed ?
It's quite a good Idea to have R &L (2) subs! .
Looks like a real cool set up wolf !!!
For the OP ; Yoy may stumble upon many folks who hate using subs for mixing audio . I suspect that those are the folks who haven't dug deep enough and studied how deep ( yup , lame hertz pun ) the subject of sub integration can get ..... Hint your room will make a big difference at those low down frequencies !

I think my ears and my creativity will always be the biggest bottleneck when it comes to mixing. The main reason to go for satellites and subs is the looks, since I always make music on the dinner table. But once that choice is made, It is fun to go for the best possible!
I have no clue what you mean here 🙂
Apart from that: great looking build! What is the size of the satellite? And what drivers did you use? And what made you chose those drivers?

I have stumbled upon these drivers: H1333-08/06 T18RE/XFCTV2
How do you guys feel about using such a coaxial driver opposed to a traditional 2 way system?

Why subs,
You can make a compact 2way BR monitor that can do 30Hz. Here a 20 liter tuned to 32Hz wil do 30Hz -3dB when place on a table or in a book case then the low-end will rise 3-6dB. even 25Hz will be reproduced with a 20liter enclosure. Lets say 17liter with damping will make 20liter.
And a amazing 87dB 1Wmtr.
Tweeter a monacor dt28 or a ringradiator of vifa.
DT28. 28mm dome! for low XO 2kHz.

I actually ment this link: H1602-04/06 L12RE/XFC
20 liters for satellites is a bit too big for my goal... iam thinking more towards 2 liters!

Your choice is a woofer with behind the dustcap a tweeter it is already a two way point source.
Iam pretty new to this speake design thing, so... is what you are saying a good or a bad thing?
An I found these little speakers ... also nice: Zaph|Audio
would you prefer a coax satellite over a full range driver like yours? And why?

Because of your poor knowledge it is better to buy modern fullrange drivers for close monitoring. You have a nice point-source and save a lot of money on crossover. Also you will not have to bother XO problems.
I think you will have the best result this way as a beginner also a veteran can make a nice set with it.
Mark Audio - RumoH - Caps, coils and speakers
75 euro for a pair fullrange drivers.

Simulation of a chr70 in a closed box of 4 liter you can do 3 liter to and stuff it.
Very simple and will do a great job for you. -3dB point 90Hz so from 20 to 90Hz you need a sub.
A idea for a subwoofer a twincoil 6" woofer fits the efficiency of the chr70. The monacor sph170tc. Will make a nice compact sub.

I like this idea a lot! Since there is more available budget, would it be possible to increase the quality while keeping the full range concept and sizes?
Is the chr70 not high quality? So yes why?
Here the woofer is a budget type here a nice one from scanspeak mono coil.

Do you have a saparate subwoofer amplifier or a two channel stereo output then you need a sub with two coils.
