I have just done a quick sketch drawing of possible arrangements could you please advise on the pros and cons of each one, itching to get the jigsaw going.
This will be my last build for a while due to house renovations and time constraints so would like to get this of the ground soon thanks ![]() basicly A off set drivers reduce spacing verticly B align drivers verticly C align drivers verticly with tweeter inbetween 12" and 10" probably around ear level and the pitfalls to each one?

Too many big membranes around: one thing is a big 15" producing waves in both senses, another thing is a 15 +12+10 ".
Too many motors ! The way you should move would be : I've got this 15" (hmmm..some say the Beta is better ) but when mounted &crossed& equalized I feel the need for a tight mid-bass which isn't coming out from the -say- 5" midrange , so sorting out from the drivers I have I might put in use this 8...or 10 ".

Why did you rule out:
--Sealed box with 12" JBL 2206H, (sealed for low phase shift and fast transient low Qtc) --plus Pyle ph612 waveguide with JBL 2426j compression driver, (90H x 40V good for HT) --on top of dipole Eminence alpha 15a? (DSP equalized) A dipole woofer has a directivity index(figure 8 polar) which removes some room interaction. You could watch for deals on "husky" 15" - 18" woofers with favorable sealed T/S parameters for future experiments. |

You have the drivers and the baffles ....try it.....you might like it. The tweeter set high so you are a bit off axis when seated might not be bad. You will need a 2x8 mini dsp or similar.

If I did this i think it would be an Econowave on a H frame, and possibly have time allignment issues, i have not realy seen this set up around the net r.e. sealed box on top of H frame My first open baffle was a pleasure maybe not perfect but the sound of floating notes hanging in mid air was special, needs to be heard. I then built the existing baffle into H frame with mid baffle the sound was never the same so I chopped off the baffle leaving just the H frame. I then cut a baffle flush mounted the celestion tf1020 and placed it at the front of the H frame with a cheap small full ranger for tweeter duties this brought the majic back of non box resonance sound , but time allignment issues arouse and you still get it with Hframe (resonence) ![]() then the JBL,S came along so next project is born. ps I got a good deal on husky 18" autotune it can sing now the exhaust has been modded Last edited by charlie2; 25th September 2015 at 02:22 PM. |

I think this has potential
![]() Have you tried that setup but with the 2206H instead of the TF1020? Or as-is with the 2426J/PH612 on top instead of the small FR tweeter? |

A corner loaded ob??? Those things need more air around or you are in trouble with cancellations/doubling peaks.
