I just use a wood stain to seal the wood. Sandable primer also works well.

Hi Michael, Thanks for the response.

Hi Thomas, I just wanted to use the textbook answer as a starting point. I will be experimenting, but don't want to buy too many resistors.

Thanks for the response Thomas, but it doesn't answer my question...I already know how to make an Lpad. What I'm asking is...If I made a 2-way passive crossover for a 4 ohm tweeter (with a 92dB SPL) and a pair 8 ohm mids in parallel (with a 86dB SPL)...how many dB's should I pad the tweeter...

If I made a 2-way passive crossover for a 4 ohm tweeter (with a 92dB SPL) and a 4 ohm midrange (with a 89dB SPL), I would need to make a 3dB Lpad for the tweeter. But say I wanted to use (2) 8 ohm mids (with a 86dB SPL) in parallel instead…how much should I pad down the tweeter?

Thanks Patrick...I'll give them a try.

Patrick, I really appreciate your input...as I highly regard your opinion. Thanks for the info on the XT25. I'll eliminate that off my list. I guess I should have told you that I plan on using these in a car. Cross-overs will be 4th order actives. So...price, impedence, and...

Thanks for the responses guys. Patrick, Why would the Vifa have to be highpassed at around 3K? Both their graphs (Vifa & Morel) seem to be pretty flat down to about 1.8K...and the Vifa has a lower FS than the Morel. Also...do you think the Scan-Speak 2905/9500 tweeter is a better...

Hi guys, Which do you think is the superior tweeter? The Morel MDT-30: http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd..._ID=7376&DID=7 or the Vifa XT25? http://www.partsexpress.com/pe/showd...ID=16162&DID=7 Do you have any other suggestions for $50-60 each ($100-$120) a pair? I have a...

I'm pretty surprised that no one has suggested considering a AV12. IMO, the AV12 looks much superior to the Shiva...at least on paper. More xmax, same low-end extension in a way smaller enclosure...what more could someone ask for?

I wish I lived that close to Adire...I'd love to give them a visit.

Anthony, I was thinking about using the JM LABS TMCTIBJM tweeters, the JM LABS 7C114 S7 midbasses, and FOCAL 10KN617 10" bass units. I was thinking about using these because they're pretty cheap.

Yikes...i didn't know it was so complicated. I think I might be in over my head. I just want to build a simple 3-way for my garage. Looks like I'm going to have to do a lot of learning.

Jeff, Thanks...that's exactly what I wanted to hear. Where's a good place to get a custom passive x-over built? Have you ever used Madisound or Solen? Do you have any idea how much a 12dB 3-way would cost?

Hi guys...I am a total newbie when it comes to home audio...and I'm even worse when it comes to DIY stuff. If I wanted to make a very simple 3-way set of loudspeakers, how to I achieve an 8 ohm load if most drivers are 8 ohms? I assume that if I use a 8 ohm bass driver and a 8 ohm mid...

Sorry Chris...I'm in Canada. Yes...the saw is belt driven.

Brandon, the saw was originally about $625. I got it on sale for about $440. Joe, my saw is this one: http://www.sears.com/sr/product/summ...id=00922839000 Ronnie, it won't be clean for long!

Chris...you crack me up! Stop putting ideas in my head because my gf's friend is hot. Perhaps I'll come up with a deal a little safer...perhaps building her a coffee table in exchange for her helping me build my basement for a day...nude of course!:D

I just got a table saw to speed up the construction of my basement. It seems pretty decent. This should really help me with my future DIY projects. All of a sudden all of my friends want me to build them enclosures, speaker stand, shelves, and you name it. My gf's friend who I almost never...

Oh yeah...I never thought of that Jeff. Good point!

Man, that would have been so cool if it could have doubled as a chess table. But it look great nevertheless.

Yes...all driver with spidering are being replaced. But you might want to contact John...I don't think the AV15's have this problem. Gary

Lewis, Perhaps you might want to ask John that question. I'm surprised that you don't have any spidering though. Mine came that way. I never had a chance to hook them up. Gary

Hey Jim, I'm not concerned with output at all. I've long outgrown that. They sounded like ass using a 0.655 QTC? I'm surprised...on paper, it seems like it would be okay even using a 0.707 alignment. Don't laugh...but this is only my temp 4.4cf downfiring enclosure. I'm going to...

Hi Jim, Actually, these are for my car. I know this is a home audio forum, but you guys here seem to know so much more about these drivers than any of the guys at the car audio forums. I'm not totally sure what kind of enclosure I'll use. I'm going to experiment with a bessel alignment...

Hi guys, This is my first post here. My AV12's are finally in. Of course...I have the same problems with the paint spidering, but I took the pictures at different angles so as to not show it. lol. Acutally...one is spidering pretty bad. Does anyone know when the...
