Simple Inexpensive Passive 2-way with Dayton and SB drivers.

I know, I'm really pushing the boundaries aren't I?

Just meant to confirm your're on the right way ...

I will thank you.

Major reason I don't like diy anymore and tend not share anything with people, endless terrible suggestions from others. I genuinely enjoy building speakers but man I do not like interacting with the community at all. Probably the last time I share anything TBH.

You shared not only the prototype, the xover and the finish of the overall speaker, what had some discussion afterwards.

To weight the comments to be helpful to this entity is a subjectiv interpretation.

In short: thanks for information and looking forward for optimization

I admittedly abandoned this project as I was not happy with the cabinet. Many of the edge seams began to show and I wasn't happy with the paints finish at all. I was also just not happy with the drivers integration, even when using active filtering. I figured the DI mismatch wouldn't be a big deal but in the end I wasn't satisfied.

Appreciate the kind words. Do you plan on painting your speakers? Personally I find veneer to be better looking and a bit more timeless if you will. I also think it's easier to get good results. I can veneer a cabinet and have a finish on it, ready to go in about a day, but painting took a week to get what is IMO worse results. Granted my standards are kind of high and I'm going to be my harshest critic.

This is a speaker I did last year. If you end up veneering feel free to message me and I can go over my process.

Are you using the 150 or 180 Dayton Signature as midrange in your build. Those waveguided little Neodymium domes are surprisingly good and easy to implement, they sing nicely at 3k x-o, I'm positively surprised.

Im that user, lost login info.

Its the sig180. Going back i would've used a 5 inch, but the sig150 response is kind of weird and hard to work with. Peerless fsl 5 would have been my choice. So cheap and so good, easy to filter.
