First tower build


Recommended Posts

Damn dude, that is pretty nice, hey what are the info on those speakers, and prices, I have been looking for small subwoofers for ever. I bought a 2.1 Insignia set a while back and when I got to taking out the sub to look at it, the magnet WAS HUGE! Bigger than the sub, cone, and case. Then when the mid/high towers took a crap, and the sub was still good, I went and got 2 more, with now the subs that sound like shit, and when played at any high of a volume, distort and are horribalz. I just want to find a small sub I can make a nice custom set out of.

Looking good! I gotta make me some towers. Either that or fix up those towers I have sitting under the house. I think I'll start with the ones under the house.

Sorry, this project got put on hold awhile back. I had some expenses that came up and have no money to finish these at the moment. I should be picking back up on this project mid way through the month.

Picked the project back up. I got all my holes cut and speakers wire and mounted just for simple testing. I need to make/buy my crossovers soon. I'm painting the boxes this Thursday or over the weekend, whenever I have the time.

But I'm wanting to build my crossovers, can anyone help me design a circuit for an 8-Ohm tweeter with a frequency of 1kHz, two 4-Ohm midranges set at 80-600Hz, and a 4-Ohm woofer set for below 100Hz?

Any input would greatly be appreciated as always.

I am confused on your crossovers, that looks really bad, put the midrange on were the subs stop, and what about 601-1khz?

Alright. I havent updated this post in a long time but I figured I might as well. I finished up these towers a few months ago and now plan on to remodel them some. I snapped a few pics today with my phone so the quality is a bit bad. I decided to go with black since every thing else is/going to be. I ended up making a desk/stand that has a keyboard tray that raises up and down in a lever action. I didnt want to do a pull out tray because I always bang my knees on them. Anyways here you go.

Been working on a new desk/stand. Needs to be painted and edges rounded.

The towels are there because I just discovered a new leak after a week of storms here.
