Hi.
I am currently in the proccess of building a pair of Adire Audio's KIT281's for my mom for Christmas. So far everything is going great, and all that is left is the finish work(Shellac on a light cherry veneer). I am having a lot of fun building them, and I really want to build a set for myself. I have been putting together some ideas for parts from the PartsExpress catalog, and I would like some input on it. I am 16 and on a rather limited budget(I have to pay for these myself, the KIT281's were paid for by my dad).
The idea for these is a very classy, modern look, somthing that suits me. The basic plan(so far) is for a 3-way box, woofer, midrange and a tweeter. I am planning to use a Dayton 7in Aluminum Cone woofer as the woofer, a TB(Tang Band) Speakers W2-880S 2in Midrange and an Audax 1in Textile dome tweeter(TM025F1, same model as the KIT281's). The x-o I am planning(designed by myself) is a 3way 2nd order with the woofer rolloff at 700hz, and the tweeter coming in at 4500hz. The box plan is a 48(h)x9(w)x12(d) vented box, with a T-M-W baffle. For a finish, I am going to do a nice black piano finish, with flames on the sides, red at the tips that fades to black with silver outlines.
I would love some input on this design, feel free to critisize.
