Ken is printing waveguides for the tweeters, and I just bought 0.34 cubic foot flatpacks from Cinergy since it is too cold to spend too much time out in the garage. I can glue them up indoors, and then maybe cut one driver hole at a time as weather permits.
I will flush mount the tweeter, but surface mount the woofer.
In this enclosure, it will extend to 43 Hz!
Granted, it won’t play super loud at that low of a frequency but it should do fine for nearfield usage.
So anyways, should be a super fun budget banger that should rock as nearfield PC speakers (as long as I do not fuck up the XO).
Measured parameters:
These are nearly perfect parameters for a small driver, check out excursion control below tuning:
I have noticed on many smaller drivers provided Q is > 0.5 and they are relatively low compliance you can expect excellent cone control below tuning - at the cost of a somewhat large (relatively speaking) enclosure.
Anyways, will be my last budget banger for awhile, need to focus on some of the nicer designs I have in the queue.
