Decware 'Big Betsy' style OB speakers

[jjasniew]

So my crazy idea (that I doubt you'd implement) is to slice off the top of your Betsy, mount it to the back along the new top edge at 90 degrees - pointing backward, where it used to point upward.

Coarsely depicted below - the grey part is the "folded back" slice off the top of your baffle, the black rectangle is the tweeter.

I'm no artist - I couldnt make the curves the top slice would have - but maybe it conveys the idea.

My solution----

Hi to all.

I remade my baffle - used the old B&G Neo3 frame, refitted it for the AST2560 and mounted it on top. Like the picture show.

Works perfect. No measurement, but my old ears thinks it is beautiful

I've mounted them without felt and flange on a section of aluminium angle. Now to do some REW tests, and listening tests.


Thanks for the diagram Joe - now I know exactly what you mean. It's a daring idea..it would get the tweeter as close as possible to the full-range driver....who knows what it would do to the rear reflections. I guess I'd have to suck it and see ;-) . I'm not game to try it at this stage
