Hi All ;)

Have been a while, but I start building enclosures for quite a bit.

Got Dust?:D

Looks like an awesome build!

[akgapong]

Hi Mark :D

Thanks! Can't wait to finish them. I work 6 days/week and some time on sunday.

[diru]

Excellent start.............

So whats going in there?

B&G ? and ?

Looking again maybe Dayton PT .

Are those done yet

[akgapong]

Hi Diru :p

You got me. I played with PT for years. This time B&G...NE08/8 ohm version.

Thanks,

Iggy

[Wolf]

Iggy-
You're using tweeters with the Neo8, right? The Neo8 is more of a mid, and IMO requires a tweeter to further its range.

Wolf -

Sometimes your comments are absolutely Great!

Thanks for your willingness to help people!

Listen to this guy IGGY!

[akgapong]

Hi Wolf...J. Lee :)

Thanks for replied. Yes I will use Ne08, but 8 ohm version and specific custom design for line arrays.

Iggy, I get tired of my router after doing one round-over. Good work.

[akgapong]

Hi Johnny :p

I understand. BTW thanks, I will try to finish them in next two or three weeks or so. Please stay tune.

Iggy

PS. Nice to see you around.;)

[Taterworks]

I have heard the Neo8 PDR version used as a widebander mid-hi driver to good effect. It sounded very much like the MartinLogans that I have heard, with a slight easing-off at the top end that the OP might find pleasing without supertweeters.

[akgapong]

Rory :)
Neo8 I use for my line arrays is the same version LS9 line arrays.

Thanks,

Iggy

[diru]

subscribe, looks great got any driver details or links?
thanks,

[akgapong]

:p Mike!

Please be patient. I will post detial ASAP when I finish them.
The midbass...RS180/8ohm.

[akgapong]

Crossover is low....just say around 850.

OK, I hear ya! I am just interested in this design and can't find too many build threads. I was looking at these Peerless 835004 SDS 6-1/2" buyouts and at the price and the way they would stack because of the frame I got interested. I figure 8 of those might be great with the right tweeter. I would love a ribbbon but cannot justify the expense for a first time build of a design
that I know nothing about. I have the BMF palns and saw those but I am looking for something a bit more "robust"

Looks like a better driver, but blue cones? Need to digest that one a bit they would look horrible in this room and I did not want a grill, well maybe

[akgapong]

Got You;)

Waiting to receive signal

[akgapong]

Hi Diru;)

Here we are. I just finished them yesterday but not hook-up yet await to finish my DAC and tube buffer. Some pics for you.

[christianb]

10/10. Those look great! Nothing comes close to arrays for the wow factor.

I can't wait to hear your thoughts on these compared to your last pair.

[akgapong]

Thanks! Christ;)

My friend got my last pair. Those HIVI M4N and PT2B very good budget array I cross them @ 2500 hz at frist and then I try to cross @2000 hz and 2200 hz. I like the sound @ 2200 hz. Mid m4n w/4th order and pt2b w/8th order (DCX2496). I can't wait to listen to new array. Will continue.

[sinaster74]

hello im new to this thread so id like to say hello to everyone.

I have question for akgapong i like this design of system. is there any way of getting a copy of the plans for these? i have been kicking around the idea of building a set of these for awhile now but cant find any real info online for them. the only ones i find are the ls6, ls9 and the colossi on the project page.
thanx for your time.

[gorbs]

don't stand too close to those or it's quite possible to have your face blown off by them :D those look great!

[akgapong]

HI:)

Gorbs :D Thanks for that.

Sinaster 74:rolleyes: I think the ls6 or the ls9 is the way to go, because those arrays use the planar as my and passive crossover. My arrays for active system and require a lot of amplifier...active crossover and so on.

Thanks,

Iggy

[robwest]

Sweet!

[sinaster74]

yeh but id rather build my own.its more fun for me that way. as for amps i have 2 totaling about 1800 watts. and i have no problem with going active on the x-over either. and i was going to use the B&G Neo8-PDR paired with the Dayton RS180-8 7" Reference Woofer anyways.im just not sure of the internal volume.

[akgapong]

Thanks:) Rob !

Sinaster:cool:

RS180/8 ohm version Int. vol. 0.50 cu.ft. closed box w/poly-fil. F3 70 Hz.
B&G Neo8/8 ohm version. 0.32 cu.ft./8 tweeter and heavy fil w/poly-fil.
(tweeter sub box internal is 2.5" W. x 3.25" D......and H ????

[captainobvious99]

PLEASE tell me you've fired these up and listened to them at this point. I wouldn't be able to sleep knowing that after that long of a project, they are ready to go and just waiting on proper dac/amplification! :eek:
I'd have to cover them until then so I wouldnt get depressed!

The cabinets look quite good...very nice job you've done there. Congrats !! :D

[akgapong]

1. Not yet.:D
2. Be cool.:cool:
3. Almost there:p

Nice enclosure. Thats going to be really nice.
For my Gainclone I used a nice aluminum rackmount enclosure (black though) and they look classy like that. Looking forward to seeing your project completed (as Im sure you are !) :)

[akgapong]

Thanks for that. My enclosure from NJ. not bad for the dac. I like to buy from Hong Kong was nicer, but the shipping will kill my bank.

Can you show some pics of your enclosure? Please;)
Yes, I finished the dac today.....but I'm working tomorrow. May be sunday.

Sure thing Iggy. I got mine from Par-Metal. They have the machined aluminum faceplate.
Sorry, apparently I didnt take pics of the completed amp ...doh :rolleyes:
Here's what I have on the computer though. The enclosures are very nice.
Great sound out of such a simple chip amp design.

Thanks ! Diru

PS. Work on DAC1865 mods for week already.

[Ray Tremblay]

Nice!!! I can't believe I didn't see this until tonight.

Those are my two favorite drivers, which are being used in my current build as well. Good choice.

[akgapong]

Hi Ray:D

Thanks ! Wow! ....Yes good drivers:)
