Re: T18 crossover question

So I'm going to conclude that yes, the t18s can cross over at 300Hz :) My receiver doesn't have a parametric crossover though, so it's crossing over at 400Hz, so there might be a slight loss of information that high up (not that I've measured, and I can't really "hear" anything missing apa...

Re: T18 crossover question

Thanks Seth! I have no problem with giving it a try - to be honest, I think I've been using the T18s more as woofers than subs for quite a while...whatever I've stacked on top of them has allowed me to place them in a typical sub fashion anyway so there's always plenty of Bass (I usually have to dro...

Re: T18 crossover question

Thanks Tom. Rather than using them as subs I was thinking of using them more as bass drivers. I must admit I haven't tested them at that frequency, but I can give it a try and post my results :)

T18 crossover question

Hello everyone!

Can I crossover the T18 at 300Hz? I have a pair of them, and the graph on the website only goes up to 200Hz (even though it's flat!), so I'm hopeful it doesn't roll off too much.

Thanks in advance!

Studio monitors

I've been messing around with various speaker designs for a while, and had the pleasure of building a couple of designs of Bill's. After moving into a house with some space (and where WAF isn't a concern because they're never seen :) ), I wanted to embark on a 'good build project' that'll keep me ou...

Re: (Possibly quite slow) Davids for home studio

Sorry that I've been lax with updating this thread - the last four days have been quite productive, and particularly for this speaker! I'm now at the point where the second side is being glued on. Here it is after the brace for panels 8 and 9 were added: https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-lhEZScpycu...

Re: (Possibly quite slow) Davids for home studio

Tom and Subharmonic, thanks for the ideas! That's a great find at Harbor Freight, I'll see if the branch near me has those!

Tom, unfortunately the clamps I have aren't that style, though. It's definitely food for thought though!

Re: (Possibly quite slow) Davids for home studio

Apologies for the lack of updates! I've just glued on panel 8 tonight, after installing the braces for panel 6 (which I had to adjust for the extra distance) about a week and a half ago. Panel 7 and the brace I did last week, and this last weekend I made up panel 8. I had to add extra pieces of wood...

Re: (Possibly quite slow) Davids for home studio

After checking for any signs of light poking through the joins, I levelled off the end of panel 5 and glued on panel 6. I bought a 26" Stanley finish cut saw, and it cuts through MDF like butter, thanks to the new teeth and the long stroke in comparison to the mitre saw I've been using. I misre...

Re: (Possibly quite slow) Davids for home studio

Thanks Tom, I'll dig out some scrap wood for those W cauls, and hopefully make some this weekend! The right angle setup in the previous post seemed to work though - everything came out square, and the square itself came off without any problems this time ;) I cut and installed bridge 3/5 tonight. I ...

Re: (Possibly quite slow) Davids for home studio

Thanks for the advice on the multi tool, I'll go and have a look for one! I already have a Dremel, so maybe there's an attachment for it...? It would probably be more expensive than what's been mentioned though! I've managed to cut and glue in panel 5 this evening. I received a mitre saw a week ago ...

Re: (Possibly quite slow) Davids for home studio

Last Friday I managed to get panels 3 and 4 on, and tonight I've put in the brace for panels 1 and 3. Progress is slow, but it's getting there! I'm still undecided as to what to do about the guide board for panel 1 - it's still there, and I've not been able to remove it as yet. From what I've read, ...

Re: (Possibly quite slow) Davids for home studio

Thanks for clarifying Bill, that's fair enough! I've just glued on panel 2. Without long clamps I had to rotate the speaker and put weight on the back of panel one, so that it's "clamped" between it and the floor. Not the best initial join, but I'll fill the gaps and finish off the join on...

Re: (Possibly quite slow) Davids for home studio

Haha, very true! I was quick to clean it off, but I'm sure with a bit of setting time I'd have more problems. I've seen that on the website that the original speakers used pioneer midbasses and MCM tweeters, yet the GR-Research ones listed in the plans are quite expensive (for good reason, I'm sure)...

Re: (Possibly quite slow) Davids for home studio

Very true - it's just a turbulent time as we're still trying to organise the house now that we've moved in. It never seems to end! It also looks like my "smartphone" is quite stupid, as it takes pictures that can't be viewed - BUT, I have a very clever "camera" that takes picture...
