System Pictures & Description

my system

ok first post lets hope this works with attachment sorry bout the bad pics but it a bit of a mess right now

towers have 8 and 9 inch dynaudio drivers, 6.5 inch audux aero, 1 inch vifa tweeter and 3/4 inch seas rear firing supertweeter
it is a vented bass reflex cabinet for the subs and separate tops for mids and tweets with removable crossover on back

i us my onkyo reciever as a preamp to harmon kardon signature 2.1 to drive all speakers center channel shown is a crap pickup just until i get around to building one

sourrounds are zetag 6.5 inch with vifa tweeters each sits on subwoofer which are dual 15 inch klipsh in isobaric config with ported bass reflex cab internal passive crossovers driven by a beefy yorkville dj amp of approx 3000 watts

mainly only use the towers but hook up the rest for movies

let me know what you think
ps i had alot of help with this but i like the sound very tight bass although the room is small so it gets a bit muddy at high volumes

Finally the speakers got some color! So gorgeous now :)

The small fostex speaker has also got some modifications as new damp- material and it's amount that fill the volume. But also a drilled several small holes on the backside for lower the inner pressure... must say it did the job! Now the speaker sounds much cleaner and more "easy listening".

I really like what you have done.

How did you angle the edge of the baffle to continue to curve of the side panel?
I see in the carcass picture the front baffle edge is square to the front, but in the final speaker it matches the curve of the side panel - how did you do that? (just tying to pick up some construction tips from someone who clearly know what they're doing!)

In the first step I was prepared drawings of speaker enclousers in AutoCad software. And you are absolutely rigth to bi noticed, I did build speaker enclousers with square corners of front and rear panels. The reason is that this way easy for assembly of enclousers.

When all enclousers have been completely assembled, I did the following operations:
1) marked the line (on left and rigth sides of baflle) according the dimension from the drawing,
2) cut the angle with electric jigsaw leaving a margin from a line in 1-1,5mm.
3) polished by hand (it is easy to control of angel then if you will use electro tools) with tool on the picture,
4) than we need to cover speakers enclousers using Primer Surfacer (i use Primer Surfacer EPII form Sikkens) and 2K Pastic Primer (i use Sikkens 2K Primer Rapid)
5) and after drying operation, sealed the seams using Glas and Soft tapes of putty (i use Car System).
