I had a thread going a while ago about building towers, and it was suggested that I look at these- Modula MTM-1 Design To keep things simple, and have a set guide in building the setup, I think i'll go with that.
Me still being a rookie with home theater, I need someone to hold my hand as I have questions about this and that.
I've read through the how-to a few times, but still have questions.
-Further down the page, there's a list of crossover parts, then even further another list, i'm assuming the lower one is an "updated" version, correct?
-I'm assuming each list of the crossover parts will build one crossover, and each enclosure, or speaker as they're called in home theater, will need it's own crossover? So, if I were to build one to use as the front left channel, one for the front right channel, and build another as a center channel, I would need to build a total of 3 of the designed crossovers?
-For the frequency response graphs, to keep that the same and the speakers perfectly compatable with the crossovers, i'd need to port the enclosure, or would it be possible to leave it sealed? I enjoy building my own enclosures, so I wont be buying them from partsexpress, even though they look very nice for the price.
-I'm using a yamaha htr-5280 for my receiver. Would I be ok using that to drive all channels or would I be better investing in an external amplifier? i've seen how expensive those little suckers are, and i'm on kind of a tight budget, especially looking at how much those crossovers are going to cost
Thanks for any help
