It sure is. No going back once you are hooked. Point & squirt can go feck itself :grin: So doc, if tweeter height is not that critical, are you saying that putting the tweeter & mid (up firing of course) in the marantz cab along with the bass driver will not be detrimental to musical perorma...

Oh i forgot. I still have 3 steel plates to go in. One on the top, one on the baffle and one at the bottom of the back panel where the cut out for binding posts is. That might improve things further. If they get much heavier then i will need a sack barrow to move them. Happy to contribute to your le...

Yes, listen to the Doc he is right about these things. I think i am going to stick with a separate box for the mid & tweeter. I wont be using the one i have as it is very rough and made out of scraps of wood. It was only going to be used for experiments. I did make another hole below the tweeter...

My mistake or should i say lack of understanding. Learning lots

Playing Morcheeba Big Calm now. Big beats electronica with a bit of hip hop thrown in and silky smooth female vocals

Fecking BAAAAAAASSSSSS man.

Thanks so much Doc for steering me in this direction . Speaker heaven here we come.

okay dokey Doc. I have cranked it up a bit now and keep checking the AP20 for heat on the bottom panel. No problems there. Adding these 12" woofers has really made the little AP20 sound enormous, bigger than it has any right to. I remember back to having the AP20 on a pair of B&W CM1 which ...

Picture of the set up taken from listening seat. Tweeter height is luckily at ear level when I am sat down. http://www.ecogardenmaintenance.co.uk/diyaudio/P1000067.JPG?attredirects=0 I can try the cabs upside down in due course which will put the 12" up at the top of the baffle and nearer the t...

Right then, I am now listening to them with 12" firing forward (bottom of baffle), 5" firing up and tweeter firing forward. Well I am playing Chemical Brothers and the bass is flapping my trousers as I sit here. There is a very generous thump to proceedings and the room seems to be more fi...

Thanks Simon. Seems I have got it right.

I am just about to wire up my bass drivers in series with the mids so I can use AP20 to evaluate. Having never wired drivers in series I assume positive from amp to 12" positive, 12" negative wired to mid positive and mid negative to amp negative. Tweeter in parallel with this lot. Have I ...
