- Right behind the terminal cup, you can use peanut butter to hold it in place.
- Good, I don't want you to run out of speaker building $$$
- Looking at the B2-B3 joint makes me a little nervous actually, is that correct dimensionally?
While the glue is drying, check this out. I really like the way the new satellite speakers sound, I hear more detail in these over my old favorite 2-ways.

No worries, they were not glued, and they were all "long".
We'll have the results soon.
I checked everything with a 24" framing square, its good.

By Small I meant like House Karaoke Parties of 50 ppl or so, for anything 50-100ppl I am building a Line Array.... 🙂 For fun... 🙂
I also have some karaoke machines that I am building so I wanted some options on a good subwoofer box that was about 12x24x18 (HWD)
That is also an option and Yes that is exactly why I jumped on them, at that price they wont last long.
Failure to launch
Oh boy, not even close, just a bonking noise. Something is terrible wrong with the TH box.
There is some bass, but the hollow sound is 10X as loud. Maybe best if the moderator removes the plans.
For the folks that bought the woofer, don't be alarmed, its fine. The test box with the 10" PR sounds like any sub that would hear in a HT, music room, etc.
Sorry Neo, obviously I was hoping it would work.

Bummer, are you running them as subs? You confused me earlier with the description about how you intended to wire them up. You definitely have to use a crossover and the drivers have to be in phase and receiving the same signal.
Failure to launch? what are you using for propellent?.. 😛
bonking noise... 😱
sounds like something is out o phase if you hear hollow sounds. check wires... quick.
good luck,

Oh its very bad......I can't belive how bad. The cardbord boxes the speakers came in would a better build.
Yes crossover, even set at 32hz it bonks.
The Iso test box is very stong, tons of cool bass.

Oh then, sorry I wasted your time.
Have you checked the drivers are in phase with a battery?
Bonk is about the least descriptive technical term I can think of BTW 😛

I agree with Dan, have you tried flipping the phase on one of the drivers? one of them may be wired backwards internally.
something else is wrong, how much power are you using?
edit: did you flip just one of the drivers leads or both at the same time?

I was getting skeptical if this was going to work when building it, even when giving it shout in the speaker port, it echoed like the Swiss Alps.
The walls are narrow, so maybe that has something to do with it, but I don't have a clue what is wrong.
I'll give it another try, but there is no way.
120watts per speaker - same as before.

Series connection ~ okay much, much, much better.
I tried one channel from a 60watt amp - the one channel from the 120 was a bit better (the 60watt was ice cold).
Still hear some echo, not that bad though, I can see where the right amp could make this a hit.

Since you actually built what looks like a tapped tapered transmission line with the drivers mounted inside the mouth, perhaps some stuffing would be in order??
It's a real shame too, I was hoping this would be a viable small sub that wouldn't take up much room.
good luck with the tweaking.

I moved the speaker around a bit, set crossover to 60HZ. Using one channel from a 120watt amp, series connection. The bass is pouring out, it is very pleasant.
The speakers are 4ohm each, 8ohm in series, when it was connected 4ohm per, it was just too much; apparently. Apologies to TH fans.
Okay one channel left…I think I know what to do; build another one.
But back to the Iso box first, now I'm getting nervous. I have some catching up to do :-/
Maybe the 8ohm conection is helping in another way???
