It's time to share my project, after reading and following all the builds I have been so inspired to take on the project.
So it all started at a auction when I purchased a old Fostex movie theater system, amps, horns and speakers. My only option was to go big right off the bat, I have never built a speaker box before, nor do I understand all the clever stuff that goes into the design of the perfect box and by the time I figure it out it will be to late.
My solution is just wing it and hopefully hear a good result. Going to follow my gut feelings, apply some logic, steal with my eyes and the most important get everyone's take on my project.
I have been working quietly in the background on my build but I think it is time for input and tips please.
My list of components:
Fostex 15" driver - L475, 8 ohms, 150w
Fostex 1" compression driver - D252
Fostex 2 way cross over and input terminals with high level dial.
These are high sensitivity drivers with alnico magnets so I am expecting something magical.
I am kind of aiming for a 250L cabinet with a radial horn on top.
Cabinet dimensions are:
Front baffel 650mm wide by 950mm high.
Rear baffel 310mm wide by 950mm high.
Depth is 665mm
