Does anyone have a finished layout for Paul Carmodys hitmakers? I just built a set of classix ii as well, I was able to find a crossover layout so it was really simple. I’m building these for Father’s Day for my Dad, any help would be appreciated.

Well I'm not very helpful!!! Let me make a better attempt!Yes but I have no idea what im doing as far as the layout is concerned.
It's what I had, it works well and looks better than pegboard IMO. I just do everything on the surface since the circuits are pretty simple. I know that the hitmakers are designed for near field use, is there any reason that you can't use them further away? I only ask as I've seen people compare them to the ELAC DBR6's which are not near field. Im not poor, just cheap, but thats why im not poor.... plus it allows me to buy focal arias for my listening room,Lexan? Sheesh. When I was poor I used pegboard![]()
$20 for the pair shipped+plus standoff/screws and input/output binding posts expensive?? A no brainer IMHO. I have built about 20 pairs of these for various customers-with a number of different finishes. They need a decent 50-70 watt amp. I test mine-break them in with a original Peachtree Decco amp. More then enough juice. Although I've used a pair with a 40 watt Prima Luna Prologue amps more then a few times with great success. The included Dayton/Bennic caps are lame-the small parallel is fine. The best caps I have found are Mundorf Evo Aluminum Oil for the 6.8uf, and Clarity CSA for the 8.2. Fairly inexpensive-but massive gains in realism-and ease of sound. They make it much easier to hear the details greyed over by the Bennics-without being bright or harsh.yeah this actually helps, I won't buy them as they are expensive for what they are but I use the images to help, thanks.
