Yet Another 8in 2way

traw

Like the sound of bigger woofers despite believing that usually smaller woofers easier to get good wide image or nice wide dispersion in my small room, but figured good practice to see if get sound I want out of this format. I need to take these to basement to take some off axis measurements, but lower leg about 70% (had surgery to put plate on where broke fibula in 2 places in december). But these may also move to fam room rotation.

During holidays, snagged the ferrite mag satori Be tweets on sale at Madisound - had to see how i like Be being a holographic sound junkie. Paired with some wavecor wf223 4 ohmers that picked up from Solen clearance. These cabs were from some 35L pair had built for some subs year back or so. Covered up that baffle and rotated - they had the same footprint as the css sdx10 bass bin's in pic acting as stands as would also reuse the pyramid-ish spacer in between.

So currently using dsp for quick up an running sampling of the sound since easy to just slap some bsc, level matching and delay for time alignment. But working on passive xover as like to rotate amps and often feel passive blends drivers nicer. I avoid doing carving response peaks n dips or any more tweaking as just want to get better sense of raw driver sound.

I'm surprised not suffering from the midrange dropout when use bigger woofer. Tried 1500 at first, but it not happy when crank volume. So using about 1.7 2nd order active filter - have not looked at what effective active+driver rolloff is.

Attach slew of pics - i was shocked my estimation in vcad's enclosure tool was close for box tuning. 35L box, 3d printed faux flare port of 60mm diameter. Put speakon connectors since have 4 conductor cables already for connection to el cheapo tpa3255 4 channel amp. And that forever wrestling with done and maybe just 3d print a crossover plate/box to take banana, output cable to speakon.
