    Old 80's Klipsch speakers into 'Mod' DIY Aperiodic speakers

    Hi John, sorry but the original setup was the crossover board glued to the speaker wire push connector base and I just used the original as was in the new chamber and I never looked at the values to check. They are a pain to take apart to look at but will look for any information in other ways...

    Open Baffle High Efficiency speakers, setup for reference

    Also want to understand H chambers more as in someways they are a ~quasi open baffle. Have done lots of ..wierd chambers over the years and wonder how much 'tuning' of an H-box (if thought of in a 6th order bandpass way) could be gotten away with. And Thanks for your info too...

    Open Baffle High Efficiency speakers, setup for reference

    When Peavey, Fender or others built guitar/bass cabinets (usually older versions) there would be a 'slot' opening on the back (on combo cabinets you would store the power cable there). That slot was usually full width side to side but only the center 'approximately a third' was open vertically...

    Open Baffle High Efficiency speakers, setup for reference

    Been hijacking this topic and this might be a little to the side of diy but use this setup as a reference once in a while to remember the past. Open Baffle has been on my mind for a while and next project will likely be something in that area. Been researching how musical equipment manufacturers...

    Fostex BK-16 Folded Horn with Seas Prestige Coax from Madisound

    Had purchased the pieces from Madisound.com for this project but wanted to change up the default speaker, (since everyone that built the box and used the Fostex full range driver ended up adding external tweeters on top). Being an old Kef fan mainly due to the point source tweeters decided to go...

    Old 80's Klipsch speakers into 'Mod' DIY Aperiodic speakers

    Bought a set of very old Klipsch speakers from a public radio station and the enclosures were beat up and the grills looked like they had cats. Had some aperiodic chambers with grills that had built for a car project 20 years ago and never used. Had the thought to use the chambers as a...

    Really dumb build inspired by JBL Paragon

    Fascinated by the JBL Paragon speakers, set off on a path to make a miniature version as cheaply as possible. Starting with the cheapest amazon speakers possible but wanting 'point source' main drivers ended, up with DS18 speakers EXL-SQ4.0 mains and EXL-X6.4D dvc sub. Since didn't have room...
