All the drivers and the terminal cup came supplied with good gaskets.

The baffle is not that thick. Chamefering the back is not practical in this case.

Thanks. For this one I prefer the more subdued kook of the Philips head screws.

I would argue that is bad either way because even on axis, what you hear is a combination of the on axis and off axis response

Thanks. It is 16mm MDF.

@ekim andersom is double the thickness MDF available 🔊🔊🔊🎸🎷

@ekim andersom ok thanks. Won't be bit over sized 32mm.

Thanks. I normally do, yes.

Thanks. The woofers are from Silver Flute, and the Tweeter is Vifa.

For the modelled crossover to work right, the size and shape of the baffle or front panel needs to remain the same. If you change it the frequency response will be off. Short answer is, no.

I do not sell components, only the build plans that give you comprehensive parts list and where to buy with links. If its in a build plan, I would recommend the parts I use.

No adjustments needed. The crossover has been optimised for this driver and enclosure combination.

@@SoundBlab thanks

I think I glued it (was a long time ago...). I like to make sure that I can mount and remove the crossover even after the cabinet has been built.

It is a clear polyurethane made by Rust-Oleum.

No, this is not the case. The drivers work in unison and in phase with the enclosure volume double that of one woofer. Each plays the same frequencies. If this were two fiffrent drivers, then yes, separate volumes are required since their responses are different and will then interfere with each other.

Rahul Ravi It looks like scrap carpet padding.

@@SoundBlab ok ... thank you very much..

Thanks. The XO network is available in the build plans for purchase on my website.

It can't replace left and right speakers on its own, but can be used in a stereo pair as left and right speakers if you use them vertically. So, short answer is, no.

@@SoundBlab thank you for the reply. I have been exploring your channel and there is plenty of great alternatives for me to try.

I'm starting to realize that this question was not a very good one. For some reason I was thinking that the center still somewhat separated the left and right sounds. But through more research it seems as if it is about 50/50 from left and right at all times and it just sends at a different frequency so that audio will be more prominent, correct? I ended up just running my two small rears in series as my center and turning the volume up on them. Not perfect but, it seems to work okay for now. Thanks!

yes

@SoundBlab you're awesome, thank you so much for responding. Would it be possible for me to email you or something I'm just starting out in the hobby and just recently built my first 2way Bookshelf speakers thanks to some courses I took from AudioJudment on RU-vid. I just don't know how to go about measuring frequencies when it comes to odd speaker types (several woofers or other drivers), I want to learn to build all speaker types so I can build a home theater but I'm really clueless on the process for measuring all the frequencies for something like a center channel with several woofers of the same type and one tweeter. Im aware of the far field for the tweeter and far field + near field for the woofer on a Bookshelf 2way, but not for s center channel. Also I know we have to account for acoustical offset, this I learned to deduce using xsim with the frequency responses of the tweeter and woofer and by additional importing the frequency response of the drivers in parallel, then you change the acoustical offset of the woofer until the two graphs look about identical that's the offset.... but how do you go about this when it's a center channel ? I know that was a lot, I'm sorry, I'm really lost and I've been searching all over RU-vid but no tutorials 😢

@@SoundBlab please soundblab could you have a look at my question ?

I don't have that nailer anymore, so not sure what brand it was, but it is an 18 gauge brad nailer.

I have build plans available on my website at soundblab.net/build-plans/

I only sell Build Plans of these and other projects on my website at www.soundblab.net

I’ll probably do a sound demo in an upcoming video soon.

Its a mono center channel speaker

@@SoundBlab oh ok.

@@masprassaja3818 yes, and it actually could just as easy turned out to be a stereo Bluetooth active speaker if desired.

Bravo. Rien à dire.👍🏻💪🏻 Just 1 question, at 2'30 what title 🎶 ? Gilles
