Be careful what you wish for....but yeah that sounds great man. There are a lot of Chicagoan DIY guys lurking. I will take this to email for now. Thanks.....

Attach me to the email please. Also I was thinking if I was to run some longer wires I could fit a decent amount of people in my basement (its not huge but 14x24ish). I would have to just use it long ways but I think I could fit about 10 people comfortably and 12 people with 2 people being possibly off axis. It's not a huge venue but I have a decent amp/preamp and everything setup already.

I have a nice cheap venue out by me. The park district converted an old farm house and barn to host parties. plenty of room.

Hey don't feel left out. You're welcome here anytime to hear these puppies. Post a thread seeing who would come, and when would be the best date(s). If you're interested I could figure out the venue. Or for free there is always my shop in by where Axpona was held.

Where are the enclosure dimensions posted at?

I extrapolated them! I made them from this:



The math comes to 50"h x 9" baffle x 14.25"d . So the tweeter height is low at 31", so either a false bottom or platform will work. You cant make the cabs as stock too much taller because of the mid enclosure and driver spacing.so i recommend making a false bottom or a stand.

What am I, chopped liver? We need a mini Chicago DIY get together soon. Maybe after the 4th of July?

Re: Schumakubin MKII build with hammered finish

Have you actually bottomed one? I had four in my truck as "subs" in sealed boxes and never had an issue. Also I thought I remembered the surround getting tight before it could bottom out?

I did, but only did that when I had the vented version running. It occurred during a depth charge playing Colorblind, the opening track of Chroma Key's "Dead Air for Radios" CD.

Ooops. :o

I just put a finish on my tritrix, but after these things its hard to go back to them. No offense to Curt, the Tritrix are great speakers, but these put the bar way up there.

Jc come by whenever they are set up in my garage. It's beer o'clock somewhere!

Re: Schumakubin MKII build with hammered finish

Definitely want to hear these! I didn't realize they were a sealed design until now.

There are 2 versions; vented and sealed.
One is slightly larger.

Re: Schumakubin MKII build with hammered finish

I haven't bottomed out my 4 speaker models with 200 watts per and a HT receiver crossover at 80 hz. Actually 250 watts per when I had the Yamaha M 80 hooked up. They can get pretty loud.

+1

That's the best way to run the DA175. While they can go pretty low on their own, midrange performance suffers. Actively crossing at 80Hz really allows the DA175 to cleanly reproduce the midrange and take all the power their thermal rating allows.

Re: Schumakubin MKII build with hammered finish

I think one reason the DA175 is such a nice little woofer is that the suspension is very compliant. But because of that, it can be driven to the back plate with relative ease.
