Sunflower center build begins - and some questions

[Dewmiester]

Do you have the woofers wired in series.

[Evan Steeves]

Can someone verify this crossover for me? Tweeter works (left side of crossover) but no sound coming from any of the four Dayton woofers...I am stumped.

[Evan Steeves]

So I ended up finding a 6 ohm resistor from my local Addison electronique store which was awesome so I do not have to drive back to solen half an hour away. They also had some nice binding posts.Will be beginning the crossover build today. Only thing I haven't figured out is if I should build crossover in one part or two, since room in the CC may be tight.

Is there a public spec for the center speaker?

Are there plans available somewhere.
Do you have a link.

I believe that's what he is asking.

Aha yes, Paul Carmody was nice enough to post the plans in this thread:

It's a little pricier than the average center channel in terms of pars but I figure since it is arguably the most important speaker in the surround setup, I'd get something I was sure about and that can be used again if I decide to upgrade other speakership the surround system.

What do you mean?

Perfect, thanks for all your help. Will be proceeding with this build! Keep you all posted with plenty of pics!

[Chris Roemer]

absolutely

You are good to go (there'll be no discernible differences w/respect to Paul' s shopping list and the parts you bought).
I thought the Sunflowers were "open back", or am I mistaken?

Chris, thanks for the confirmation. The sunflower towers are open backed but the center channel is a sealed design. the four 4'' Dayton speakers match my 7" Daytons in my Amiga towers so the timbre should match well for the setup.

Can I go with a 6.2 ohm resistor as posed to the 6-ohm, which seems to be out of stock everywhere?

I am missing one 6-ohm resistor to be able to build the crossover, and I can't seem to find it anywhere. Anyone have an idea where I can source one, preferably in Canada?

The(parts) tolerances are probably wider than your spec errors! fugeddaboudit.

aah that makes me happy! Thanks for the reply

[Evan Steeves]

Well here are the pics... the site won't let me upload them so had to copy from photobucket... will re-upload when I have access to a better computer!
