Re: Bento Box Build Thread
Ok finally, with much delay, they are up and at'um for further testing! Still unfinished, but I'm putting that off a bit until they are fully designed and I'm busy doing something else so I don't miss my stereo 

So I can work on the XO, its outboard and mounted with hot glue on a piece of ply. This is ugly, but functional for now. If I get more serious about doing this stuff, I'll look into making a xo board from prototyping like I've seen in threads here 

I reduced the XO by several components and went with the other PDF curves for the tweeter (not the one on PEs site, since it reads like its preliminary data, but the one of Typhany and Madisound's, vastly different FR curves). Here is the one I'm voicing now, drawn up on TinyCAD (thanks for the link Greywarden!) I'm calling this version UNAGI, keeping with the Bento Box theme 

I didn't have the right 8uf for the high-pass second order, so I'm using a 6.8uf and a .47uf combined but that is still only 7.27uf and its audible as a sort of darkness to some voices. I'm going to attribute that darkness to that mistake for the moment anyway (heh). Here is what PCD was showing me with this XO, just above axis (5 degrees):

Here is the same with power response, driver output, and phase:

Based on limited listening impressions, I've start work on prototype XO 3, codename: EBI (mmm, shrimps!). I'll make another short reply post with some listening impressions in a moment.
