For Sale Open Baffle Speakers

For Sale Open Baffle Speakers

I built these open baffle speakers myself. They are known as Manzanita 12 inch design.
Here is the link for the design: https://www.diyaudio.com/forums/multi-way/110583-fast-fun-inexpensive-ob-project.html

Here are the build specs on the Manzanita 12s:

  • Peerless SLS 830669 - 12" Woofer
  • Seas 27TDFC tweeter
  • Sledgehammer 12mH 15 gauge inductor
  • 0.8 mH aircore inductor
  • 12uF film capacitor
  • 25 ohm 5W resistor
  • Binding posts
  • 3/4 wood for baffle, base and side wings. MDF or plywood, chipboard, etc.
I am moving because of my job and since I don’t use these speakers I am selling them. They have been in storage and under cover. Since shipping these as complete speakers units is unfeasible I will disassemble them and sell them as complete speaker component assemblies (minus the cabinets) to build your own speakers. Built with quality components with a cost of $350.00 dollars I will ship them at my cost for $275.00. I will mount the woofers together (cone side) with standoffs so they don’t get hurt. Everything will be packed securely. Paypal is best.
Thank you.

Wrong tweeter mentioned perhaps?

Hi Shortwave,

Where are you located?

I may be wrong, but the tweeter looks to be the Vifa TC9FD, not the Seas.

Also - it looks like you were using the Seas version of the crossover with the Vifa TC9FD tweeter.

OR - You have the correct crossover with the correct tweeter, but you might have misidentified the part values (e.g., 20mh inductor and not 12mh inductor, 6uf capacitor and not 12uf capacitor).

See link for Vifa crossover (it requires different parts):
