woofer wiring looked like this: (ignore dots I had to put those in for spacing) + | ( x ) ( x ) ( x ) _/ ./ ( x ) ( x ) ( x ) _/ ./ ( x ) ( x ) ( x ) | - I pulled the box apart, added a ton of gorilla wood glue, then used screws instead of finishing nails. It produces lows pretty well now - doesn't ...

Reasonable suggestion, but no, I'm much more familiar with electronics than carpentry and I'm sure I did them in a parallel-series combination: 3-3-3

No camera, sorry guys. Anyways, used a 3K crossover (Dayton Audio) and it actually improved the mids/"lows" a lot, but the tweeters are still super loud. Even after disconnecting the woofers the tweeters still make me cringe and hurt. Those Jamo's are something else I guess. Used Realtek H...

Finished these speakers today. Installed 9 woofers and 9 tweeters so both were 8-ohm loads (made crossover easier). Used this crossover: http://www.parts-express.com/pe/showdetl.cfm?Partnumber=260-148 Kind of glad it only had 9 tweeters instead of 12. The speakers sound great already, but they're ra...

Looking at components for the crossover. This polyester film capacitor is rated to "100V" but when I take a closer look at the data sheet , it shows that for AC, the max voltage is lower, and dependent on the frequency. How much do people worry about this sort of thing when buying capacito...

Wow I feel silly. It happens. "If you need to make a longer box for more or larger drivers keep the top and bottom dimensions the same." Trust me, I have read the document a few dozen times, both front-to-back in its entirety and skipping/skimming around to connect pieces of information wh...

I did get the plans. Are you recommending I build the 72" tall TLAH pro? I was concerned that it may have been designed for 8" drivers with different characteristics. Also, I saw: "The preferred mid-bass driver size is 4 inches, but you can go a bit smaller or a bit larger if you desi...

So my mids are 5.25" square, and there isn't enough room on the TLAH plans to put 8 of them vertically. I want to put 9 mids vertical on the TLAH. How can I modify the plans to put 9 x 5.25" drivers = 47.25" minimum height? I'm concerned that just lengthening it will mess up the acous...

I got a full sheet of 1/2" AC (Auraco) Plywood, looks like 4-ply - the two edge layers are half thickness so there are 5 layers total but only 3 full thickness layers. Cost $44.

When/if I build the TT long-style I'll try to get some 5-ply AC.

Local hardware store has 3/4" MDF for $22/half sheet. A half-sheet is enough to produce one speaker plus the jig. I went with the 2" tweeter because someone suggested it, it's cheap, I'm impatient to get started, and because the stats looked good when I compared them with the sparse recomm...

Just bought: 1x - Dayton Audio SA240 240W Subwoofer Amplifier 26x - JAMO 20132 2" Paper Cone Tweeter 24x - Sony 5-1/4" Treated Paper Cone Square Frame Neodymium Woofer got 2 extra of the tweeters just in case, 8 extra woofers because there was a price drop at 24x that made it cost nearly t...

Gah, I shall never be able to place an order if everyone keeps giving me better ideas! How good will 4 TLAH's with the Sony Buyout Mids and Apex Jr. Tweeters sound? Will the Peerless 4.5" work well in the TLAH and why would I spend 11.5 times as much money on them instead of the Sony's? Will I ...

http://goo.gl/EnsGT Better? 6 ohm overall resistance (3:4 ratio tweeters:drivers), at the lower limit of the receiver's guaranteed performance (6-16 ohm) http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6171/6205591228_5228d6dfd4.jpg Is there any difference between that one and this one? http://goo.gl/nxvwy (Electric...

http://goo.gl/v8WNw So I guess that this design for tweeter wiring would be bad because the final two speakers would be running at 4x the wattage of the other 8 tweeters? The idea was to get an 8-ohm equivalence over the circuit as a whole. http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6153/6205005137_20aaae6700.j...

From the plans: "The preferred mid-bass driver size is 4 inches, but you can go a bit smaller or a bit larger if you desire, making the cabinet longer if larger drivers necessitate it. The target T/S specs are fs 100 Hz, Qts .5; somewhat lower fs and higher Qts doesn’t hurt. Vas is not importan...
