Dorm Room System

[Acidburn 10]

ANYWAY...

according to this: http://www.partsexpress.com/resources/indexes/sb_guide.html, the 6.5" Audax wants 0.3 cubes, does anyone have a better suggestion?

as for the cross-over, how does 80Hz - 3500Hz and 3500Hz+ sound? what slope should i use?

[Beat_Dominator 2]

What's wrong with .3 cubes? that's only like 4"x4x4.

You'll need to pick all of the drivers before you decide on x-over specs. especially the slopes.

it's actually 6.5" x 9.5" x 8.4"

i have picked...

[Acidburn 10]

ok, now i dont know if i want to go with a sealed 6.5" or a ported 5.25"

and im thinking a crossover point of 2500 Hz would be better

[Beat_Dominator 2]

Sealed 6.5 should be good. 2500 with an 18dB/oc. slope would be sufficient if the mid could handle the higher freq. well enough.

Im gonna upgrade my speakers for my logitech Z560, with these

Its kind of the El Cheapo route, but hey they should be better than the litttle logitech satilite speakers.

Tom, watch out for loud music in dorms. RA's will not be your friend, at least at my school they would biotch hard. We had a JL 15 w0 on one of those parts express plate amps though

[Acidburn 10]

lol i dont plan on turning it up really loud unless i have to

Is this your first year at school?

If so, your first round of midterms will be a good canidate for turning it up loud. Granted your not in the hospital from pulling all of your hair out.

[Acidburn 10]

lol yep, im gonna be a n00bie

don't kid yourself - you're going to have that thing cranked up.

I only had two complaints from my system. One from my RA (dear Lord, he put up with a lot from us...) walking by, apparently not appreciating "Layla" at 3AM. Oh well. Another was from the girl that lived above us, when I was playing the theme from Boondock Saints ungodly loud on St. Patty's Day. She said I was vibrating the mirror in her room - I was about to tell her what I could vibrate but left it alone

The guys down the hall would always play rap, so somehow they would always get more complaints than I ever did.

I'm thinking you should put my towers in your dorm room.

That would go over well.

if you box em up and ship them to me, i will

[Acidburn 10]

just realized something, if i go sealed, i wont need a HPF on the mid

for saving money

[azbass 0]

i got to come see the dorm, and hear the system when your finished, cant wait.

[Acidburn 10]

yep yep, tell me when you come up here again and you can have a listen

[JimJ 11]

How's it going?

[Tirefryr 1,742]

My Auras make for lovely little monitors without the need for tweets or high power. Add a small sub lowpassed at 125 and it's a great compact budget system.

[Acidburn 10]

How's it going?

i talked to that OlogyAudio guy that's offering custom built component sets

he pointed me to better drivers in my price range, and gave me a design for a cross-over for them and answered all of my questions

great guy to deal with

[azbass 0]

word.

[Acidburn 10]

well guys, i guess i'm pulling a Steve here

havent ordered any drivers yet but the enclosures are started

they're 0.4 cubes to 55 Hz

Pieces cut out (actually getting good with the circ saw):

Mock up for fit:

4 sides together:

Just missing the back, from the back:

And from the front:

should finish em up tomorrow and hopefully order the drivers and x-over parts soonish so there will be more pics when the time comes

and i've decided not to put subs in for the first semester, dont feel comfortable with it and the funds would be more useful elsewhere
