+Monster DIY Malaysia sorry i have not reply back to you - i did not think anyone watch my video. here is a link to the AVS page if you like read more about this build. thanks again for watching. www.avsforum.com/forum/155-diy-speakers-subs/1507413-80-speaker-towers-kerfed-out-one-mdf-sheet-9-spkr-setup.html
Very impressive method to get the curved shape for the back of the towers. Very impressive also for the nice woodworking and finishing of the surface. Very nice work in that sense. It seems to be a lot of drivers for the towers volume. I think that less drivers will perform better for this box volume. Anyway, I hope you are engomino your project. You have put a lot of effort to build it. Congratulations.
+Dennis Loohuis I have been putting off the build of the center channel. a mini version on these monsters. I can share with you later. He is a more information in detail and step by step on the AVS Forum page if you like to visit. www.avsforum.com/forum/155-diy-speakers-subs/1507413-80-speaker-towers-kerfed-out-one-mdf-sheet-9-spkr-setup.html
Nice looking work on the finish there! It looks very professional... I've always wondered how companies make curved wood cabinets. That gives me an idea how now. One caveat though... If I was you I would have definitely *flush mounted* ALL of the drivers, not just the tweeter, and *especially* the midranges, because when they are recessed, (even *slightly*), it makes for a more "hollow" sound, kind of like your voice sounds when you cup your hands around your mouth when talking... You might not notice this effect too much at first, but if you modify this design at all and DO flush mount everything to the front face of the baffle, you will notice how that will open up the midrange especially, and make it seem even more natural... Plus the overall stereo image in that very critical range of frequencies, (the mids), will be much better too, when/if compared to the recessed mounting as you have it now... Even with the "flared trim rings" that you made. Also, an option to use outboard x-over(s) and separate amps for all the drivers would be a nice addition too... But other than that, they look pretty nice!... Good work, and now you have a few suggestions to try for improvements if you so choose.
Lovely workmanship on the cabinets but the cheap looking plastic speaker terminal on the back looked ugly....nice gold binding posts would of been better. Did you end up changing the tweeter height or added another lower down?
I like that you have the drive to take on a project like that. You have amazing woodworking skills . The thing about multi driver speakers like yours is that it takes a very complex and expensive crossover system for it to work correctly . When 2 or more drivers produce the same frequencies it causes intermodulation distortion . Crossovers are very sensitive to the ohms of the speaker, so if your crossover point is 100hz for an 4 ohm speaker it will not be 100hz if you use a 8 ohm speaker and it also causes phasing issues. That is why 3 way systems most of the time are less expensive to build and sound better but don't always look as cool . If you are into sound quality look at scan Speak drivers from www.madisoundspeakerstore.com/index.php?p=home . Very good and keep up the good work.
Placing the driver behind the baffle is very, very bad. It may look cool, it never sound as good as properly placed drivers "the oldfashioned and proven" way. On top of that, the tweeters are way too high placed and i also hope you did something with the crossovers for them, else you only creaTE MASSIVE holes of cancelation.
WHAT? CAN'T HEAR YOU! LET ME TURN THIS VIDEO DOWN! Oh, you were saying the video was to loud. It is Deafening isn't it? Still, Nice looking speakers, even if they sound like Crap. I mean just listen to them in this video.
So beautiful, bet you’re proud to see and listen to them every day!
i honestly like your project very much.
i will use it as a guide for my future builds.
thank you for a wonderful build.
greetings from Malaysia

love speakers would like more information about how you wired them and the components used as I'm looking to build some Tower speakers myself.

Nice work but no driver and crossover detials
good work BUT bad design - the tweeter should be at the ear level
The tweeter should be in the middle - at about 1 meter height.

TH-cam: THIS VIDEO HAS NO SOUND
Lol
It originally did but TH-cam took it down (copyright) Maybe I will redo it / or not....
This is love. But what about crossover
Placing the driver behind the baffle is very, very bad. It may look cool, it never sound as good as properly placed drivers "the oldfashioned and proven" way. On top of that, the tweeters are way too high placed and i also hope you did something with the crossovers for them, else you only creaTE MASSIVE holes of cancelation.
What's the impedance ?

Why? Just because you can.
YES, I was bored during a winter break a few years ago.
