Anyone know if that adaptor plate will work on the standard Beastmode tweeter?
I am using a similar adapter with the XT25 Beastmode and a Viston WG148
Yeah, that's the one I use. Not too mush trouble to remove the faceplate from the tweeter.
Pick off all the glue first, then remove the screws.
But Chahly - Stahkist don't want speakers that look good, Stahkist wants speakers that sound good!
Well, the cutout needed for the somasonus is 10mm larger than what I have in the cab...
That kind of sucks, might measure in different baffle just to see if I want to take the router to my cab again...
Wrapping inductors with tape...interesting, as I often unwind to get to the desired level but had just used the plastic ties. Thanks, I plan on 'borrowing' the idea for my next Xover.

Yeah, got JF inductors and unwound them to spec, the air core has zip ties, but a bit of tape prevents my clumsy hands scratching them as well.

So far, I think it works.
They look great!
So wonderful!

It does, measured in previous page.
Printed the somasonus 5"

Here it is without supports
The Dx25 fits nicely
It seems like it will drop in place of the visaton 148
How long did it take to print that WG? How much filament did it use?
I'd be interested in a pair of these, curious to see measurements.
2:47 in the makerspace's Bambu x1 carbon. Weighted 83 gram of PLA+CF.
Wow, that's a very fast print for an item that size!
Yeah, I bet that is 15+ hours each on my Ender 5..
Yeah, the bambu is fast.
Care to share the 3D file for that waveguide?
I think I used the 5 no ps from:

Why not just modify the Somasonus WG diameter to match the Visaton 148? We know it will print fast.
That is an option.

That should work. Around the same time it seems.
Printed V2.
xt25 in the somasonus WG
I think I'll call it done with the visaton WG:

I usually wrap my coils tight with blue painters tape then add a couple zip ties just so the tape can't ever start to peal back.
Ok- painters tape vs electrical tape + and - ‘s? Or not really? I’d think electrical with a bit of elasticity might be a plus?
Painters tape is designed not to stick. Electrical tape is designed to stay put.
Maybe I’ve been doing it wrong all this time. I don’t even take zip ties off. I just push the wire through.![](https://diy.midwestaudio.club/uploads/editor/ea/4q4dc2spe98p.jpeg)
