5-way active filtered living room set, jbl altec vitavox mccauley urei amcron

Hello,

My name is Juul, i'm new to the forum.
I live in Holland and am 23 years old.

I'm building a 5way active filtered living room set.
I will start with the 3way top cabs.
Speakers: JBL 2205H, 2123H an 2405H

There are no screws visible in the cabs

















I hope you'll enjoy following this thread

greeting Juul

Ohhhhhhhhh this looks like fun
Waiting patiently for the next instalment.

5-way??? That seems a few too many "ways" to me... Why so many bands?

Juul, Is there a compression driver horn tweeter between the 2123H and 2405H.

The 2405H Ultra-High Frequency transducer is recommended for over 6.5Khz use. 90Hx25V

The 2123H 10" midrange polar response data suggests a crossover under 1.8kHz is ideal to produce a smooth SPL. Several 90H x 40V horns would have a smooth polar match to the 2123H at 1.7-1.8kHz, a few are short enough for close time alignment.(SEOS12=3.6" is 90Hx40V, Faital STH100=3.4" is 80Hx70V

The Drew Daniels old-school paper, "THE ANCIENT AUDIOPHILE'S QUEST FOR THE ULTIMATE HOME SYSTEM" has launched the deams of many diy'ers.

Hello yes ofcourse there will be a compression driver on a horn.
This will be a vitavox S3 on a multicell that will fit the crossover freqs great!

Hello,

I have stained the cabs

The fronts are going to be made when the sub cabs are finished.

ooh oohhhhhhh, i'm very sorry but no
that will not fit next to the amp rack that will stand next to these cabs.

haha no, 1 way under the 2205 and one way between the 2405 and 2123.

the way under the 2205 will be the most special one
