Hello everyone, I am about to embark on my second speaker build project and will be looking to share my experiences and gain from the experiences of others. My primary focus will be on the crossover. I'm looking forward to learning lots.
Hi to all,
A newbie here. This is my second speaker build project - the first one being a Parts Express 2 way Usher 701 kit 12 years ago. I am now retired and want to push the boat out both in terms of final result and my learning curve. I tend to aim high knowing I will make mistakes so this time I am aiming for a pair of 3 way floor standers. My set up is:
Room 12ft x 17 ft with speakers to be set up on one of the short sides. Two leather couches and floor to ceiling heavy curtains on opposite short side. Harwood floor.
Amp = Marantz PM 8006
Streamer = Audiolab 6000N with Tidal
Turntable = Rega Planar P1
Building the enclosure should be ok - I have a lot of woodworking experience and necessary tools etc. . My main concern is the crossover. I am new to this so I seek forgiveness in advance for any 'obvious' gaffs. I attach a document with details of drivers and enclosure that I have come up with so far. Am I on the right track at all or way off the mark? Any constructive comments would be welcome. I have not purchased anything yet except a measuring mic for testing when the time comes. Thank you in advance.
