Project Microbe

[emisgallo]

Hello,
I've decided to make the project of Roman "The Microbe" ... I need it as Surround speakers for my 5.1 system
My query is the following ... the Tangband T25-1166S 1 "is very difficult to find, with which Dave J. Zachary has designed another project with the Dayton RS28AS-4 .... I am in Spain and I buy in this web ... https: //www.soundimports.eu/en/...aqui only have the Dayton Audio RST28A-4 1-1 / 8 ".... I have read in this forum that it can be replaced by the aforementioned RS28AS .....
I have two questions .... is it true that you can replace the RS28AS with the RST28A ??? ... should something be modified in the filter?
Another question goes in relation to a coil Jantzen 0.025mH 18 GA Air Core crossover which on this page do not have ..... the smallest they have is Dayton Audio LW18-05 | 0.05 mH | 0.10 Ω | 5% | 18 AWG ...
could it be worth ??
If you know some other project for my 5.1 .... I would listen to advice !!
Thanks for your time....
regards

I built these speakers in 2013, There was a version being posted around using the vifa XT25SC90-04 (now sold by Peerless by Tymphany) called the Microbe XT which I believe was also designed by RJB but never published on his site. The main forum thread has disappeared, although I found a few others:

Microbe XT - Dayton RS 125 + Vifa XT25SC90-04, Projekte der Nutzer / Nachbauten - HIFI-FORUM
Microbes I built
Here's a nice DIY design for 1st timers or pros - Car Audio | DiyMobileAudio.com | Car Stereo Forum

I was very happy with them, just another option for you. 🙂

Thanks for your answer ... I think I'm doing the Microbe XT ... I like a design in one of the pages that you have sent me ... it is one with curved sides .... someone knows where I can get the measurements of this box?
