Home Theater speakers

[Ram Jr]

Hello all,

Its been awhile since I had the time or means to get back into speaker building. But I moved into a new home and found a great location in the basement for a dedicated theater room. I have asked Paul C to help me with my speaker project and thankfully he agreed. We are going to put together 2 tower speakers, center channel and inwall surrounds. Please see box design below.

The drivers and ports are listed below.

Nice driver choices! These should sound great!

[Ram Jr]

Here is the progress made so far on the cabinets.

Wow, what wood is that?

[Ram Jr]

Zebra Wood 13/16 thick

[Ram Jr]

Got some more work done on these

[wogg]

That wood is nice! Great work!

[Steve Lee]

Yes!

I agree.

[DeZZar]

Yeah great work. Really nice wood. What will you finish the rest of the cabinet in?

[Ram Jr]

I will just paint the sides and back...... black in color. its just MDF so cant get too fancy and I don't want to take away from the front.

Thank you for the complement .

[Brodon]

Wow, these look great! I am really wanting to build some nice 3 way towers. I would love to know the approx cost and impedance on these. Will you be releasing the info on the crossovers when you finish them?

[Ram Jr]

Yes I will be updating the build with crossover design and everything.

I don't see the 10"?

[Ram Jr]

There will be 2- 10's I just did not install it yet. I was just using the one on top for measurements.

[Steve Lee]

Yeah!

Whip it out!

[davidroberts]

I don't see the 10"?

If I am looking at the dimensions correctly I would think the 12.5" width on the towers and height on the center shows where the RS270P-8A is going. When I first looked at it I assumed that the towers and the center were using the RS180 and RS100...

[Ram Jr]

Started working on the inwall surrounds. It was very difficult to get the correct angles for the mids and tweeter, but after a few cuts it worked out. Also clamping these is difficult so I have attached pics.

[Ram Jr]

These are the atmos speakers going into the sound clouds.

[Steve Lee]

Looks like you sought professional help.

That is looking well engineered, sir - keep us posted, please.
