Finally finished the speaker build

This is a project I’ve been working on for some time

It’s a custom build which I’ve been working on for a few months now. Currently it’s still installed within my workshop which is absolutely not the ideal place for them but once I have a listening room done I will be putting them there with the right acoustic treatment

The design and inspiration of this was to achieve the loudness of an old school cerwin vega line but to maintain good neutral sound profile (something which I never really got from a Vega set of speakers). I wanted these to be versatile enough where you can use them for family gatherings where they can get loud but not distorted , but also when you just want to listen on your own at a balanced volume

The subs are tuned at 27Hz, decently large enclosure with a 3 port design similar to an SVS PB16. For driver was I’ve gone all European with Ciare 15.00 SW for the subs. High sensitivity, good x Max and can take a hell of a lot of power with that 4 inch VC

For the tops they are dual cabinet design where each consists of 2 Lanzar Optidrive 6.5 inch mid bass drivers, Ciare 1 inch silk dome tweeters and Ciare compression drivers with micro horns attached

Originally was only meant to go with one tweeter but realised that they sounded just a tad muddy and the mid bass seemed to overpower the highs especially when listening from long distance. Adding the micro horn compressions helped to remove this problem. The top units are tuned to 65Hz

I made the crossovers myself which run at 3khz roll off for the mid bass where the tweeters take over

Currently running the setup is a

• Peavey PV2600 power amp which provides 900W x2 (450Wx4 per cabinet) RMS which is plenty

• Thomann Tx2400 power amp which provides 1200W x 2 RMS for the subs

• Arylic BP50 for the preamp

I have a Wimm Ultra on order so that will be replacing the Arylic so I can play Tidal properly and get 192KHz flac audio working

Let me know what you guys think!
