Hi everyone, newer poster. I have finally come to a crude finish for my apt setup, coming up with the cabinet design simply based on recommended parameters for the cheapest drivers i could get from PE, as well as 5-6 different 3 way sealed box projects leading up to building totally separate boxes. I wanted to experience isolated bass, without question of distoring the cheap hivi midrange drivers (yes i know closed back midranges exist, this is more of an experiment in bass). Anyway under the fabric is a 6"aluminum mid and 1&1/8 dayton silk dome..the 12" woofers are paper cone GRS cheapos but they dont sound like it in these boxes.
I had the woofers front firing when i first set it up but was struck with a random inspriation to flip them upward. only later would i discover how nice it would be to catch a bass wave bouncing off the brick (behind paneling) wall, perpendicular to direction driver is firing. That reflection, paired with the way the bass waves hit and roll trough the room off of the foam drop ceiling, give me the depth and presence i have always sought but never thought was possible without dropping big cash. It helps to have tools, but MDF board and cheap PE drivers definitely did not break the bank, and relative quality to storebought at the same price is almost complete uncomparable. PE $20 3-way crossover at 800 & 4500 or 5000hz i havent remembered.
Anyway, amp gear is a set I picked up off a guy on CL, including tape deck and some records, for $200. Also, it isn't very unique but whatever. I questioned dropping that at the time but now know it was a good idea to bite. There is a
Pioneer TX-6500II Tuner(best FM i have heard)
Pioneer PL-514 TT, Shure M92e cart, N44-7 stylus
Pioneer SA-7500II Integrated
If anyone is curious about my aux line in signal theoretics from an orangepi miniPC, just ask please.
Edit: So i read this thread and posted with "Stereo cabinets" in my head not realizing it was referring more to gear storage and not speaker cabinets themselves... anyway hope my post falls within a gray area of that
