sure...

Thanks....

" you are showing diyers a path to go" well ya..its a path ...... and i hope someone might take it someday .... though its very tedious, time consuming, costly and labour intensive ... but can be very rewarding if someone loves to do it.....not just for money u know...

" i want to make some wiifers, will you help me.
" I think its woofers u mean.....sure


cheers
 
oops error

it surely is woofers,
and thanks a lot for replying.

while there r not many options for diyers, this will help a ,lot.
and above all the satisfaction of have done it yourself is far greater than purchasing the same.

so will you explain the procedure, technicalaties for making 8" bass drivers,
i want to make a 3 way floor standing setup.
 
if you remember

hello mr palesha,
i am vikram joshi
i remember having called you for box design regarding 8" subwoofer,
i got your no from net
hope you remember so.
this site is simply fantastic.
mr palesha , i have given pa150 boards.based on lm3886 for etching i got the gerber files.
i am thinking of hooking it to a 3 way floorstander which i am looking forward to build shortly.
can you give any details regarding the perfomance of pa150.
 
so will you explain the procedure, technicalaties for making 8" bass drivers

Did you give this a second thought ?

1. If you are making this for fun .... go for it !

2. If you are making it to save money ......well the component parts "might" be cheaper , but are you sure they are as good as what they use in "good" drivers ? Your expenses towards ..time you spend on it and anything related with the project like driving down to pick up parts etc. are hidden costs and can add up to a lot. Maybe more than the parts itself.
3. Do you know what specifications it should have ( Fs, TS parameters etc.) . Or is it just a blind shot and you will use it with whatever parameters it lands up with ?
4. Did you check what drivers are available locally and if it will suit your application. Nowadays some drivers appear to be sold at decent prices.
5. If you plan to make all drivers except the tweeter (?) you really have your hands full.
6. It is unlikely that you can get two drivers to perform identically as many parameters are not quite under your control.

It's a very challenging task and make sure you have plenty of free time available to devote to this project.
Making a driver is very easy . Making a reliable and very good driver is not !
Wish you all the best with this project. You are going to learn a LOT !
Cheers.

save money

dear ashok,
making your own drivers is fun, but the main reason is to save money ,i cannot afford importing driver, wher the cost of shipping is much higher than the cost of driver itself.
other than that where can i purchase good quality drivers in mumbai
 
You need to walk through Lamington Road and look at every shop with speakers displayed in the window.
You will find Peerless India speakers and Bolton, Philips, Dainty , Luxco, Iwai and a host of smaller brands AND many imported brands .
Then you can get Vifa drivers from www.corrson.com in Bangalore.

Make an estimate of how much the parts will cost for your speaker . You might find that the speaker off the shelf is not too expensive after all !

Vifa ( 6 to 7 inch ) woofers are priced from about 1,600/- to 2,800/- . Chinese drivers are much cheaper . There are many Chinese drivers ( also Blaupunkt, Pioneer ,JBL and many others) in Mumbai for the car audio market . You could use those drivers too. You need to walk around and find out.
Check the PA market too. They have a whole range of drivers at good prices.
Cheers.

Hi

well i would love to help u ...but I think it would be out of scope of this reply. Too much of typing even to start with. So i would suggest u

ask me particular questions and i would try my best to reply to those.

But dear before u ask.......please keep in mind " if u r planning to make just 2 woofers or for that matter a few pairs....i would

suggest u buy them ". U would need a lot of hardware and software investments in order to make a woofer to get the TS specs that

u originally plan. Its not just about buying parts and putting them together. U would need specific parts which u can't buy is small

numbers like spiders, coils, motor etc etc......
The other way is to buy few parts that are available locally and play around with those, just to learn .... what effects what.....lot of

investment though......

drivers

thanks for taking so much efforts,
you guys are simply wonderful,you all reolied so heartily to my query.
well what i am trying to make is a 3 way floor standing tower speaker for my home use, i am expecting 1 bass woofer, 1 midbass woofer, and 1 tweeter.

i just went through the website of peerless india and saw one woofer with polyproplene cone and another with nomex cone, so could you please sugest will those be available at lamington rd, do you know any of the shops who will have these,
and which would be better.
also i am trying to make a 2.1 channel system , i want a good deep , rich bass. driver should not be more than 10". so will you guys help me in selecting the drivers, designing the cabinet, and making an an good quality amp to drive those(an transistor based amp would be nice one which would give sonic quality sound).
three college friends of my cousin brother are looking forward to me to make a 2.1 system for them,
sooo please help
 
Which drivers are you looking at?

The ND12i for example is a car audio subwoofer.

Your best bet (if you are interested in Peerless and provided you can get the drivers) would be the D25, D16, and T26AN maybe XOed at 200Hz and 2.5kHz the other option would be use the D25 and T25 with the 3" dome mid XOed at 800Hz and 4kHz but I dont think the D25 will be happy being pushed that high.

For the amp your best best is the chip amp (3886).

An option to Peerless are the Wavecor drivers available through Eastern Electronics. Here is a link to Wavecor

which amp is best

i have pcb diagram of pa150 -3 lm3886 per channel-output 150 watt rms.
another schematic based on sanken transistors 2sc2922 and 2sc1216.
i want to know which one will sound better.
for speakers i am going to buy D25, D16, and T26AN from peerless india for a stereo 3 way tower. i dont know how to make a crossover and how to tune it, can you please help.
i have heard tower speakers at sanen acoustics played with pioneer 5.1 amp. can i compare the sound quality of former peerless speakers paired with lm 3886 or sanken transistors with the pioneer and sanen towers.
i want to make speakers which would give me good depth and clarity,and not very bright.
and other thing can i use pioneer or sony 10" or 12" car woofers in a three way system one woofer in each tower. how will they sound

please help

The transistor version will sound better if properly made.
Then u can modify as required.
But u need some experience to do so.

About speaker, u hv do some study.
check the projects done by others.
Then u will understand & just ask what u don't understand.

If u think others will give u all the solutions, not possible.
this is DIY means do it yourselves.

Same above principles apply for pcb layout also.
 
old word

mr palesha,
if you remember, i hope so ,
i had once called you on your cell phone inquiring about damping material for subwoofers, abt my 8" subs which i am driving thru sony 4ch car amp, and you had given some good suggestions.
that time i didnt know abt you ,had got your no whilw searching for acoustic wool dealers.

The 2SC2922 and 2SC1216 will sound better but for a first project the 3886 amps might be simpler to build.

As far as making a crossover - it is not really all that simple without detailed driver specs (you will need MLSSA, LMS, etc..) to make measurements or FRD plots of the drivers you will only be able to make an approximate crossover and some of the driver's anamolies might not be addressed by such an XO.

i hve few schematic diagrams of srereo amps can any one help me in making pcb diagrams for the same.

In Mumbai we have a place called Lamington Road. THere are shops on this road that sell you complete kits of many amps (esp from EFY or Elektor). These kits have a ready PCB included. I would suggest starting here first.
 
Hi,
Could you post the contact info. for the P-Audio reseller in Chennai?
Thanks.

Took me a while to actually meet the owner. He is almost never in the shop when I go there.

Cell phone number 9444182915 ( Chennai )
His name is Kumar .

He had P-Audio 2241 18 inch drivers for about Rs 9,000/- . There were several other smaller drivers but I never asked the price. Suggest you speak to him directly.

cheers.

Would thesee prices be in line with what Mr. Nagpal Offers in Mumbai? 2241..that number rings a bell is P-Audio following JBL's number notation?
