The story goes like this- I'm a car audio guy, but i'm in college now, so i'm never driving. Especially with gas prices how they are, my gas hog isnt moving an inch. So now I had to find something else to do with my obsession. I decided to build a moderate audio system to watch movies on and listen to music with in the house i'm living in.
The Equipment-
Digital Cable Box (motorola through charter)
Yamaha HTR-5280 Theater Receiver
Sony DVP-S560D DVD Player
Sony PS2
Carvin DCM-1000 Sub Amp
15" Dayton Audio Titanic MKIII
Two Towers- each one will have the following-
(2)DAYTON RS180S-8 7" REFERENCE SERIES SHIELDED WOOFER
(2)DAYTON ND20FB-4 REAR-MOUNT 3/4" NEODYMIUM DOME TWEETER
(1)DAYTON DC50F-8 2" DOME MIDRANGE
Two rear surrounds- each will have the following-
(2)DAYTON RS125S-8 5" REFERENCE SERIES SHIELDED WOOFER
(2)DAYTON ND20FB-4 REAR-MOUNT 3/4" NEODYMIUM DOME TWEETER
All the speakers except the subwoofer will be powered off the receiver. I cant quite afford to be buying external amplifiers for all the speakers.
I'm building all my own cabinents, i've been doing it for a couple years now for my car, so its not too hard switching over to doing it for the home. The only major difference is i've come to like how i'm not extremely restricted on space and dimensions that I can use when designing either the subwoofer enclosure or the towers.
I've set up a gallery of my pictures on photobucket, and the link to that is http://photobucket.com/albums/b192/joegibs/ and the password is gibs.
Subwoofer enclosure specs-
~5CF net space. The enclosure is tuned to 19 hz. The port is a 3x16.5" opening, giving just under 50 sq inches of port area. The port is 63" long. I've counter sunk all the screws to sit flush with the wood. I then used bondo over all the screws and seams so the wood is perfectly flush, no lines, screws, or blemishes at all. I'm going to use primer to seal the box, and then roll on with a rough textured roller a dark black. I'm going to be adding on 5" pegs to the baffle, and downfire the subwoofer.
Tower specs-
The towers are 30" in height. Each 7" woofer is getting a .36CF useable airspace. Each woofer is seperated from eachother, along with being seperated from the top chamber. The top chamber will house two 3/4" tweeters and a 2" dome midrange. These will also be painted black.
Rear surround specs-
The 5" woofer will be getting a little less than .1cf of useable airspace. It's measurements will be 9x6" on the face, with only a 4.5" depth. It will be housing both the 5" woofer and a 3/4" tweeter. These will also be painted black.
Any questions/comments/constructive critique welcome
thanks for looking
