Guys,
I have been lurking (and annoying) for a few weeks now since posting my TLine, i have started building a funky little boom box which will be in stages. This build will be using the Tectonic TEBM65C20F, which for those who dont know, they are a little 3.5inch full range driver. Each enclosure is 0.15cu.ft with a 1inch port tuned to 61Hz. The Amp i ended up using was the KAB 230v3.
Using some invaluable advice i added a filter (BSC) using a 2mh 18 AWG Ironcore inductor and 10w 6.0 resistor in parallel.
you may notice a theme here that this is generally based around woodworking (sorry), i'm still trying to learn the rest.
very messy at in these shots...

Guessing the first question will be, "how does it sound" and to be honest, i'm really impressed by these little tectonics with the KAB board. The BSC takes this build to the next level as well.
My comparison is between my two building a) being the transmission line (same drivers, similar enclosure volume, 2x15w DTA2 tripath) and this b) boombox. Yes there is double the power with the bigger amp, but maybe its in my head, but this build just seems to use these 3.5inch drivers better?
If i chose to build something else next time, i was thinking maybe a horn of some sort or something with a internal maze and a small driver. Honestly i just want to experiment with my router and use a template and do layers and build something solid.....
