My son and I are going to build a set of speakers for him. The idea is to give him a set of full range speakers(30-20k) that are relatively small. I know we have to sacrifice efficiency but he typically uses only solid state any ways.
We have ordered two Dayton drivers fro each speaker. One is a 6.5" subwoofer, part number 295-198. We are going to put that in a .5ft3 vented cabinet tuned to 42 hz(optimal according to the PE website). The top will be the PE part number 295-378 Dayton Audio RS100-4 4" Reference Full-Range Driver. It will go into a .1ft3 vented cabinet tuned to 59hz(again optimal according to PE).
We also order the parts to make a pair of 1st order butterwerth xovers with a xover point of about 127hz. The FR has a rated spl of 87.5dB, the subwoofer is 87.4dB. We'll see how they match.
Some other specs on the drivers.
FR - 80-20khz response
I have not drawn up the box plans but I am thinking about 10 wide, 16.5 tall, and 11.25 deep.
This will be driven by a 150wpc Kenwood separates system that he has. I hope it turns out well. I'll get the stuff early next week an keep updates coming as we go.
Till later...........
