Re: Rubik's Cube (DIY speakers??)

Reading all 194 :shock: pages of Stu's Epic speaker mod adventure in three days :shock: :shock: was possibly not my brightest idea!! :angry-steamingears: I now seem to be channeling my inner KarateStu :o First off, and I am amazed that no one has already pointed this out! Using solid core tinned cop...

Re: Rubik's Cube (DIY speakers??)

I think I can see where everyone is coming from. Crossovers are the work of the devil Doping "cheaper" drivers and minimal HQ electronics is better than Crossovers, And HQ speaker drivers that can be driven fully open or with the minimum of HQ electronics is the best of all. I think Savvy ...

Re: Rubik's Cube (DIY speakers??)

Ok As the 10" Drivers are on the way , it's time to look at what's involved in doping. Luckily Karate Stu managed to get images working on around page 100 ish of his epic loudspeaker mod thread/blog , so I've seen the after effects of Doc's doping on 5.5" cones. Also from that I've seen so...

Re: Rubik's Cube (DIY speakers??)

If you put 20mm steel in the base, I doubt you'll be able to lift the speaker. :geek: :geek: Square mild steel plate of 246mm which is 20mm thick would add about 9.5Kg to the build, plus another 6.75Kg from the 5mm plates, :shock: :( well not impossible to move, but not something to drop on your fo...

Re: Rubik's Cube (DIY speakers??)

Being very cheeky here, but what are/were the dimensions of the Cubix sections? Well, development. I "accidentally" :whistle: ;) ordered a pair of Kenford SBX2530 10" 4 Ohm drivers Yesterday, which have now been sent, so this project is officially Off the Ground :dance: :dance: :danc...

Re: Rubik's Cube (DIY speakers??)

A 12" cube with 8" driver will fill an average size room very well. I must admit as I work through the idea in my head there is a lot of sense in what you are saying. I think a 10" doped bass driver, 5" mid and the visaton is possibly the way to go, for me. I try and follow the ...

Re: Rubik's Cube (DIY speakers??)

Series Wired?? I can see a bit of an issue with what I'm planning then. Obviously with the Cubix, and the Cubix Pro each section is powered by a separate amplifier, either buit in or external. With my design each speaker will have 5 drivers (Three 12" Kenford SBX3040 8 Ohm Bass drivers, One QTX...
