I'm used to the constant mocking.
I call it the "Big Brother Effect", I know about this stuff. I have 2 older brothers close to Zen Mods age, and when I was young they were mean bastards. Hahahahaha

Boards are here

Hi Guys,

Boards are assembled and fullrange fitted in.
Waiting the Faital and crossover.

I made some slight change in order tho got them cut from one sheet....

Well fullrange on their own in OB works great (lack of bass only). Soundstage seems better as dynamics seems.

Thanks for your help...

Great work mate.
It will sound really nice once those bass woofers go in.

 

[naca5]

Thanks,
I hope so.
Then set-up will be DCB1=>B5=>F5(bass) +ACA (fullrange)

 

[2 picoDumbs]

Sounds good.

 

[naca5]

Faital fitted,
Time to understand the B5 spirit ;-)

 

[2 picoDumbs]

Are you also mounting a woofer vertically?
If you can afford it. I would do it.
I also have B5. I don't think you will have any issues setting that up.

Looks great so far.

 

[naca5]

For now only the firing down pair. Can I use the B5 with both bass(front and down)?

 

[2 picoDumbs]

Yeah, as long as they are crossed at the same frequency eg 80Hz low pass. I got good results running the High Pass filter one octave higher eg 160Hz in terms of frequency response measurements. This is what Papa also did on one of his Open Baffles.
I am running a 10" full range and 2 x 15" with my B5.

You can get pretty creative though if you also consider reading the F4 article.
I had a plan to possibly remove b5 out of chain and use crossover networks in front of F4 to drive bass woofers and something nice driving the F4 and top full range driver together eg F3, or Mu Follower etc. Haven't got around to doing it though.
B5 does the job already and there are so many other projects to keep me busy.

I hope you enjoy OB as much as I do.
Always excited to hear other people's first experience with it.

 

[naca5]

Will read it thanks,
Interesting...2x15" sounds promising...let me tame this config,
Already happy with basic settings,low pass @100Hz, high pass @ 160Hz
Do you have a pic of yours?

 

[2 picoDumbs]

Mine is 2 x 15" mounted vertically. I will look for photo.
I hope to try the down firing slot loaded woofer combined with a vertically mounted woofer.
This was what I intended to exhibit at BAF 2015 (last year not this year) with drivers I intended to donate to Papa, but was too late.
Papa already had enough on his plate and I couldn't make it there to do it myself (family commitments).

 

[naca5]

Thanks in advance for pic and the sweet story...
If you mix firing down and front, there no phase issues?

 

[naca5]

And a quick in room measurement nothing fancy as come out a crappy iPhone :

I don't think this will be a problem at all.
