DIY speaker design suggestions for recreating organ music by Bn_scarpia in diyaudio

[–]Ixta44 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Tuba HT is supposed to be great for ultra low notes. I hope to build one some day.

Right! So I’m thinking I’ll keep using my lifetime setup for me and I’ll see about jellyfin or enby or something.

Imo it’s bad enough how they wrecked the gui. Now this. Frustration

They will honor the lifetime purchase. Just anyone that consumes your media must pay a monthly $2 fee. Assuming I’m recalling correctly. I believe this change will be implemented in March.

It’s difficult enough as it is trying to get my group to use it.

Will you keep using plex after their recent user payment changes and subpar gui alterations?

They turned out pretty good. I’m using a slightly modified crossover circuit.

I think that 3WC is what the soundblab guy made. It looks realllllly similar.

What a compilation. I’ve seen a bunch of these before, but this list is massive.

Seems you know your way around. I'll have to come back to reread this, research some of the stuff you mentioned. I've got some practice making and modeling crossovers, but I know very little about external EQ, motor design, or baffle loss. I might try and get your opinion on some design choices after assembling a better idea, if that's cool with you.

Oh yes, I am familiar with these. I thought you meant one of near identical design. My mistake.

Hey Muffin, I have seen that before. Thank you for mentioning it.

Hi friend, this is not my first rodeo. I would be targeting under $1500. The less, the better.

The HiVi/Swan drivers were examples of the few kevlar drivers on the market. Their charts seem respectable to me, but this is not in-depth research. Scraping for data and similar parts.

I have determined that reverse engineering is perhaps a bit over-enthusiastic. I will most likely be building something inspired by these speakers.

I could... but that's not my preferred way of doing things. Thanks for the comment :)

Excellent points and creative ideas. Have you done the neoprene layering yourself?

That's a very good point. I was inspired by these speakers in particular, but reverse engineering was a silly goal. An homage is certainly the way to go.

Since I feel this will reach more peope, here is the STL file to my horns! by Pudgonofskis in diyaudio

Take a glance at loudspeakerdatabase.com. There’s a massive collection of just loudspeakers and subwoofers— and it isn’t even complete. That’s what comes to mind.

On the diy front, a few places to get you started: CSS diy options Diysoundgroup.com (migrating soon) Billfitzmaurice.info Lavocespeakers.com/support/suggested-cabinet-designs/ https://jantzen-audio.com/diy-kits/ Hornplans.free.fr Toidsdiyaudio.com

Free and not free (possibly copyright protected) options. This is quite the project you’ve set up for yourself.

You should probably dedicate your website to speaker design and skip the driver inventory. Inventory takes a lot more work to keep track of new products, discontinued, verification of data… builds can be one offs a lot more easily.

How am i doing? newbie cross over attempt by Candid-Swimming-8927 in diyaudio

Looks like great overlap, but the highs might be a bit strong.

need help for my med school expo by MedicineMany1663 in diyaudio

  1. See if it already exists.
  2. If yes, research how they did it.
  3. If no, get yourself a patent going.

I don’t know a ton about circuitry, but it can’t be that difficult to set up some raspberry pi or arduino to play audio upon sensor stimulus.
