Howdy, new member here. My most recent project, ultra-budget naked open baffle speakers. Cheers.

Well, they sure sounds good in your recording. The look is a little too "naked" for my taste, though... What kind of crossover are you using?

I am using EKIO going into a MOTU M4 and then highs to a Fosi V3 and Lows to an old Denon AV amp.

Wow, that's... wild. Celestion 70/80 for the woofer is a fascinating choice. Qts of it does indicate it works well in an open baffle arrangement though...

Did you had any ideas to put the speakers such to each other that they are more or less in phase build like Vandersteen Thiel.

Not really as I time align the drivers in EKIO after measuring the offset. In this setup it is a very small adjustment.

Decided to go wild haha! Actually had the one Seventy80 so only had to find another used one in perfect shape and the 1990s Radio Shack car speakers are leftovers I used to used as practical speakers for theatrical plays, phones rings and such noises.

Very cool, sounds great on my nudes too.
A pole and some zip-ties, that’s all we need, go nude, go nupole!
