My Dayton 6' Rs towers..

[dashpuppy]

I've been building lots of speakers these last few years, never really tried any of the dayton audio drivers. Did tons of reading and research "even" listened to a friends pair of speakers using a 8" dayton. Then wham I was addicted.

So I did a big order.

8 x RS180-8 7" Woofer's
4 x RS100-8 4" Mid-Woofers
2 x RS28A-4 1" Dome tweeter.

To be safe, I ordered 2 x RS125-8 5" mid woofers, just in case the 4" can't keep up or go along with the rest of the design.

Are you doing a 3-way or 3.5?

[Chris Roemer]

A paralleled pair of 8ohm RS180s will have the same sensitivity as a quad (but require only half the box volume). In a typical 3-way, SOME BSC still has to be covered by the mids - so the MTM could be the way to go.

3 way.

If you use the RS125 you could get X-overs from jed at clearwave. That is what I am running at the moment.

Did some measuring yesterday, received my DatsV2.0 speaker tool. Now to start doing crossover designing

Haven't posted in a log time, thought I would post some photos. So far im really close to finish, just doing some hole filling, then paint.

Just doing the painting today :P Baffles were done on a CNC by Ryan Bouma, he did an awesome job ! very happy with the results. Crossover parts have to be ordered but i will do that when the boxes are all together, painted and in my room. I think i have a bit of tweaking to do on the x-overs still.

Just doing some sealing on parts of the boxes before they get sent off to get painted :P



Picture of my messy Garage !





sealing a pair of small boxes for a speaker project, and the other pieces are the spacers that go between the box and Base of the speakers.

Getting very close !

These are really starting to look good. Can't wait to see the finished product.
