Thanks for the link to the Veepers... another build example! So many descent builds with documentation makes it harder to stay on plan.
I was actually thinking down the track that this peerless could be re-employed as a mid in a 3 way... when space becomes less of an issue
Build the two ways with an external crossover, then build new crossovers when you build woofer boxes for them to sit on. Like Paul Carmody's Tarkus, but convertible.
Also handy for trying multi-amping at some point.

Now that's a plan...
I could build the crossover into a cavity on the rear of the 2 ways (in a way that does not add to the internal volume) and use the same location for the 3 way xo later. Brilliant!
Edit:
Just checked out the Tarkus build thread. Let's say I now have a plan 😀

After faffing about for too long about what and how I think I should set a clear goal for myself, and in fairness to anyone here that has offered advice and assistance.
But first a big thank you to everyone who has posted. It has been your thoughts and ideas and the mini conversations that have kicked around here that have led me to an approach I am comfortable with. Thank you too for your patience
Goal
Eventually end up with a floor-stander along the lines of Paul Carmody's Tarkus. (thanks boswald)
Plan
First stage is to build a 2 way speaker for near-field listening use that can tick off the following;
- sounds descent in it's own right
- uses drivers that can be re-used later on in a revised 3 way configuration
- box construction/design that is sound and then adaptable to reach end goal.
So yes everything 😉
This will be an experience for me, and hopefully a little education along the way though I realise it's a very long road from where I'm starting. But with a lot of help from you I'm confident.
On a side note, I read somewhere here that the first reply to a new post often makes or breaks a new thread. A novice (me) starts a thread and asks various 'novice' questions strewn across nearly 5 pages, but... not a single negative post. What to say but thank you all.
