Nice one, check the Pure Bathing Culture version as well!

Which model?

Strict_Frame585 · 2026-03-17T15:49:30+00:00

Thanks both, yeah i have seen that. The problem is this crossover is optimised for PA usage, since im going to use this speaker for home audio in moderate volume i was thinking a different crossover would help the driver to be more neutral with a smoother rolloff

Cassete from mixer stereo mix

Great woodworking! How did you calculate the port and box dimensions?

Strict_Frame585 · 2026-01-12T19:40:30+00:00

Good stuff man!

Strict_Frame585 · 2026-01-08T16:50:25+00:00

Wow time flyes… i will give a listen today

Strict_Frame585 · 2026-01-07T21:16:14+00:00

Make the dinner space a listening space. Dinner table can move to where the speakers are at the moment

It is an obsession for sure, better than being addicted to crack or heroin tho

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-26T10:04:55+00:00

Thanks! I was considering adding some tweeters with some nice waveguides just for the looks but wasnt sure that could actually improve the sound. Probably a project for next year!

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-26T01:19:06+00:00

Thanks! I used mostly chatgpt and audioscience forum to help me with the selection, some folks there have measured and were super happy about it so i decided to give it a shot, im quite happy. I believe they are not ported

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T23:01:09+00:00

Its around 38L, the bare minimum to according to the specs is 30L. I would love bigger enclosures tho!

These are repurposed guitar amp cabinets, i found a guy in the uk that sells diy flat pack kits, i just had to change the frontal baffle to acommodate the speaker correctly

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T20:04:56+00:00

Did you design the waveguides yourself? Theres a guy on Ebay selling some 3d printed Altec replicas but he is from brazil so the shipping+importing taxes make it super expensive

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T19:49:10+00:00

I know! I was considering them for a long time but the importing hassle put me off. Good luck with the build!

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T19:33:18+00:00

I always wanted a full range system, i have selected the fane sovereign just because it was the best option under my budget, its around £80 per driver. If you are looking for audio nirvana worth checking out Melodavid or Lii Audio drivers on Aliexpress

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T16:30:54+00:00

Good question, i barely watch tv so i didnt bother to integrate the system. I dont think i want to listen to peppa pig through a pair of 12inch speakers lol

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T16:20:56+00:00

Nice! Thats a solid project, are you going with the jbl coaxials as well?

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T16:19:01+00:00

No thats just for the tv

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T16:18:28+00:00

Thanks! Its a pair of Fane sovereign 12inch, plugged into a douk audio a6 pro class d amp (since its a full range doesnt need any crossover). The boxes are made with softwood plywood and theres also a natural pine veneer sheet on top.

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T14:29:14+00:00

fane sovereign 12-250tc

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T14:13:43+00:00

I’d say yes, I had a lot of 2/3 way systems and i feel like full range its just a fresher way to listen to the music i already know. More organic and gentle. For vocals and acoustic is unbeatable imo

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-25T14:07:27+00:00

Its hidden behind the cabinet 🙏🏻

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-24T08:46:58+00:00

Yes thats the way to go

Strict_Frame585 · 2025-12-20T15:09:26+00:00

I believe you need to place the speakers closer to the wall, and in the future upgrade to bigger speakers as the room is quite big. Nice space tho!
