Home Theater Project - 56k grab a novel
After finishing my car audio (im sure most of you saw my thread...) I undertook my home audio
situation. I listen to music almost all day long. I like mostly techno and rock.. but rap
occasionally too. My itunes music collection is like 30gb and 17days of straight listening.
It ranges from elvis to three-6-mafia to iron maiden. I basically like ALL music.
My music is playing 24/7 on my computer. Up until this point I was using old Altec Lansings
(95-97ish?). They were "ok" but deff didnt cut it.
I decided to design speakers.. big speakers
As I do with all my projects... the first stage is design. I always use CAD as it lets you see
how it "all works out"
This is the design:
There is a port on the bottom.
The drivers I chose for these speakers were [4] 6 1/2" goldwood midbass and [2] dayton DC28F silk
dome tweeters
The [2] crossovers are Dayton XO2W [3500hz 2 ways]
Pretty cheap at partsexpress [http://www.partsexpress.com]
Here are all of my goods waiting to be put in:
All the wood cut out and ready to be put together:

Crossovers and speaker cup on the back pieces:
Drivers are in
I spray painted the Express lion (clothing company if you know it) on the speakers.
****ty pic:
The R speaker got it on the R side and L, L lol
Lets compare the old with the new:
(keep in mind.. that monitor is 21")

All Hooked up:
And a close up of the vintage amp [ka-7300]
I am also currently building the subwoofer to match these.. it's going to be a 9kv.2 from
elemental designs (http://www.edesignaudio.com) so that'll be another thread.
