Next big project: Te Deum
OK so I finally came to my senses and realized that the only projects worth doing are the ones that you want to do for yourself. Using stuff you already have is a rather good bonus. Odd that I should need to come to that realization but anyway.
So, from top to bottom:
- SB acoustics tweeters with waveguide from Dave Pellegrene
- Mid... either 6" B&C 6PEV13 or 8" Seas full range driver
- Bass - Lambda TD15M - sealed f3 ~ 84 Hz, vented f3 ~ 44 Hz
- Subs - Dual opposed 12" per side, DSP of some kind no doubt
So that's it. Should be good to keep me occupied for a while yet.

This project is largely inspired by Troel Gravesen's Poor Man's Stradivadarius. But... it's bigger. Duke Le Jeune was also instrumental in getting me to think about loudspeaker dispersion. I was almost going to try and come up with a controlled-pattern offset bipole until I realized that a wide-baffle speaker by itself would (should) yield significant advantages. Perhaps one day I will be able to afford to turn this speaker into a bipole, it's designed so that I can...

Diagram?
Without pics, it never happened...

Dipole I presume ??
Nup
OK, OK.
You posted a picture, so it musta happened
But, why do I still feel cheated? :-?
45mph speakers. Are they considered slow or fast?
Graham, what counts is how it corners!
Hey, I'm still planning. How's your center channel going :-P
Been down that road :-) ,and found another one just like it :-) .
If your interested Roger has started an AE group buy . It's not limited to one type of AE driver .
Cheers
I think I may have seen the thread, but I wasn't sure of the point. There wasn't much of a discount was there?
I can't get the amp to fit in the box!
Back to the drawing board...
Better than paying full price and easier than getting 18" PHL's
Cheers
Hi Mal, what's a "PHL"?
The discounts on the TD18H+ are better than the regular drivers by the looks. You'd have to pay GST anyway I guess so sea freight becomes an option?
Didn't you just sell some subs?
I still have the tapped horns .the 18's will do the 30-250hz to match the PSE .
I asked the new owner of my old project to join the forum .
CHEERS
I'm getting turkey for my birthday. (seriously)
You realise what turkey stands for!?
Squawker?
Mal I thought you already had bins to go under the PSEs
No ,only up to the drawing stage .
Cheers
I swear I saw pictures of bass bins for 15" drivers.
Are you thinking of the alloy rapped bass cabs I made for the 4way .
Hm... maybe?! I thought there were some cabs with a funny shape and what looked like a lot of glue and clamps, with a 15" driver in them.
Turkey is an abbreviation of 'Turkey hunt', which is slang for 'headjob'
I'll give you a hint.
Someone gobbles, someone shoots.
The birthday present that keeps on giving...
