AK Design Collaborative - Insignia-Class Economy Speakers (a.k.a Indignia)

Ack! Sorry I wasn't keeping up with this thread. I don't see any reason why the Incentria wouldn't work as a stand up MTM. I guess I could tip my center up and see what it sounds like.
I don't know about pumping up the volume that much. I'd have to run the numbers. If you've already done it then sally forth.
Thought you guys would like to hear:
Guy stopped by to pick up some AR2's I was selling and made a beeline right for Zilch's curved Indignia speakers. "WHOA! What Bowers and Wilkins monitors are these!?"
Zilch woulda been pleased as punch.

Another Pair Done...........
I finally finished the cabinets for these.
The cabinets have 1-1/4" MDF front baffles & 3/4" MDF sides. The baffle was finished in Rustoleum truck bed liner and I used Rustoleum American Accents Textured Stone (Mineral Brown) for the cabinet. Both finishes were then covered with two coats of Minwax Satin Polyurethane.

Hi,
I just received my crossover parts and I'm working on it now, but I can't seem to find any + or - marks on the components. Does it matter how you connect it, or are there no + and - sides.
Thanks,
Remon

Hi,
After I soldered the crossover, I decided to test the speakers without the cabinet.
However the music sounded strange. First I thought that it was a fault in the crossover.
After a couple of minutes I felt the tweeter cone moving and the woofer didn't moved at all.
Then I realized that I had connected the tweeter to the woofer side.:bash:
Could this have damaged the tweeter?

I'm having trouble finding a 1,5 inch tube for the bass port. The nearest size I could find was 36mm (1,41732283 inch). Is this port suitable and do I need to change the length of the tube?
Since I had the 2nd post in this thread, I've decided to use it to keep up Zilch's serial number scheme. If I missed something, let me know.

RayW visited that summer of 2008 and brought his pair along. I started my plot to have him build me a pair right then.
I've listened to them nearly every day since I got them.

Anybody try using Karma Indignia Drivers in 2.5 Way?
I've heard the Indignia, and while it's great for the money, the bass sounds looser to me than I would like (I prefer sealed bass=tighter).
I have a pair of 8" (sens=87dB) sealed boxes that double as stands for the Indignias(which I'll run sealed):
These 1 cubic foot boxes have a sealed box Q of 0.707 and an F3 of 48Hz (meaning they are tighter and still have more low bass than the indignias).
Anybody try this before?
I plan on using a coil on the woofer, and rolling off the Indignias at some point maybe getting some baffle-step correction in the process.
Any advice?
