Re: Home Depot find.
Lowes carries the 1/2" hobby panels, also, and they have a wider selection of lengths. But that's a good price. I bought some at Lowes for the grandkids to make a wine rack for grammy, and they had a lot of fun using all of the shop tools. This summer's project is going to be docking stations for their iphones, so I'm going to stock up. The poplar makes good "practice wood".Free Passive Speaker Designer Lite (PSD-Lite) -- http://www.audiodevelopers.com/Softw...Lite/setup.exe

Originally posted by lowpolyjoe View PostJust spotted these hobby panels at my local HD. Don't remember seeing them before. Perfect size for baffles for the tiny speakers I'm building lately. Nothing exotic or anything, but still a score for a few bucks. I'm all about hardwood baffles these days :-)

Re: Home Depot find.
The important issue is not cost but to have a crossover that's designed specifically for your drivers on your baffle in your box. A pre-built crossover is highly unlikely to perform better than mediocre or average. The speakers you show in Post 3 are very attractive and I hope their crossover does them justice.

Although, you DO have a nice amount of space between them... so it probably won't make much of a difference. Just for informational purposes, think of a tire laying on it's side, about to be run over by another tire. Zero mutual coupling in that orientation.

Re: Home Depot find.
Yeah. not a big deal in this instance.
Darren, sharp." To me, the soundstage presentation is more about phase and distortion and less about size. However, when you talk about bass extension, there's no replacement for displacement". Tyger23. 4.2015

Re: Home Depot find.
I assume many forum viewers get tired of me saying this, but as long as the distance between the perimeters of adjacent air-core inductors is at least 2 inches, both can be laid down flat without any audible consequences. If you have the room and can space them further apart, that's fine. If space is tight, then you have to use different orientations to minimize mutual inductance and voltage crosstalk.

Originally posted by 50 watt head View PostThanks for pointing this out. Somewhere I have saved one of those handy orientation diagrams that has been posted on TT before, but I do recall not consulting it when I was building these xover boards last spring because I figured they're spaced far enough apart to avoid coupling. But it just so happens that I'm going to be rebuilding these xovers this summer, so duly noted! I'll reorient them to alleviate any possibility of interference.

Re: Home Depot find.
Cool... Hope the local one has those. I still fondly remember the local Rocklers special buys of 5/8" Baltic Birch, about 22" x23", $4 a sheet. Furniture company scrap cuts, nice 10 ply stuff. Long gone now. Hope these boards aren't as regional of a thing, have a narrow project in mind...
