👀. Nice!
The new phone takes quality pics.
Very good!
Looks like your mashing that tweeter into your desk with a small midwoofer.
Those frames/cones have a large OD to cone SD ratio. Similar to the Dayton RS series and HiVi yellow woofers. What are those woofers again?
Maybe something like this?
Hmmmm
Do any of the tweeter flanges have the same mounting dimensions?
Looks like it should take more than four mounting doohickies to keep it secured. It could just be a trick of the light, but the woof seems substantial.
I like the looks of the last pic posted
I'll check.
No, none of the options use the same cutout.
How about this?
Cut and glued cabs for the 4" today. Driver cutouts tomorrow.
I may be in the minority, but I've always liked the look of dished cones like that. I always wondered if that would make for a more rigid moving structure without adding much weight when compared to a conventional dust cap.
I like the look of inverted caps too. Looks more sleek IMO. Though, I figured it could potentially bump the average acoustic center slightly farther back compared to a convex cap.
The last setup looks good 👍
I'll build both, then.
Just ordered another pair of the tweeters.
6.5 inch:
4 inch:
Also a 5 Inch:
...all models done with added series resistance of 0.5 ohms.
At the very real risk of not being able to cross low enough to ideally mate with a aluminum cone mid, I have decided on the little AMT.
I should add the decision was driven by the fact I can buy forstner bits in both sizes to flush mount them. Strange, but true.
I chickened out on the AMT, I have something in mind for them, though.
3-way
2-way
Yes I dented the cone a bit on the 4" sample, dammit.
Damn aluminum.
OOF!
That three way looks sweet.
