Cheers. I'm using old school Nytech amplification but about as much as a compromise between valve and class D as you can possibly get imo.
Sorry, missed this. FWIW, there are a couple of others that I've done: the DCR floorstander I did (not included on the pdf, but it's on the CHN110 thread. Shameless plunder of Dave's driver drawing 😉 ). And recently as part of my antelope series, Kewel (a relatively compact MLTL). Sketches of both attached below. Both lightly damped alignments, Fb 37Hz & 34Hz respectively (former has a second tuning higher up like all DCRs). If any questions, probably best asked over on the main 110 thread to avoid taking this one OT.

Thanks again Scott. The Kewel looks very interesting. Cheers
Edit: Regards Woden Design Imbolc, what is the height of the port please, dim is missing? Cheers

My FH3 slowly comming to end. I have piece of kimber 8tc (16 wires on braid that I planed to unravel) and was thinking to use that wires for internal wiring. How many would be enough, one per pole? Maybe two? Driver will be Pluvia 7HD
Cindra,
You have access to CAT-5 wire? If yes you can try with single strand of skinny wire without having to unwind the braid.

Try it out - 0.5m might be just enough to use as hook-up wire for your FH3.
Once you cut the jacket you will find there are twisted pairs of wire inside.

Zia,
You asked the question i was — are those strands stranded or solid? And how big.
I tend to like solid. A pair of CAT5/6 single strands is 24g. The stuff that goes into walls is solid.

that was my idea. Single wires are very thin so question was 2 per speaker or maybe 4. When used as speaker cable this Kimber is really good for the price
I also have some spare Apature Accusound 4+4. Its silver plated solid copper in teflon 0,8mm. Maybe that?
Try them both. Use the best one.
I think you will find that a pair of the Kimber strands will do fine. There is a decided tendency to use too fat a wire.

Note that sometimes skinnier wire yields more bass.
2.5mm is 10g. Way thicker than i use even with my subwoofers.

I like this myself. 😉
2.5mm diameter or 2.5mm^2? Former is 10ga, latter is 13.1ga [nearly].
I use Supra Classic 4.0 at home, which is roughly 11.1ga tin plated copper.
