My Classix II

[Steven72555]

There has been a few of the Classix II build threads on here, but no alternate pics on the crossovers, IMO.
So, I have a few pics on my build, nothing fancy, but it's solid and it sounds good.
Initial layout of crossover. I have it on a 5x7 piece of plywood.

Then I tied them together

Then I soldered

Here is the cabs I cut and put together, I save more than a few dollars cutting them myself.

Re: My Classix II

Nice work. Im interested to hear your opinion on these vs the overnight sensations since you can do an a/b comparo! They are in the same price bracket and i wonder if the bass capability of the bigger dayton bests the two 4" drivers.

Looks solid! I've had an issue with fillers showing through the duratex, even after a few coats. Maybe I'm just putting it on too thin.

Both projects look great....what are those mini towers in the back?

So far, the OS MTM's are going lower than the Classix.

The towers are Paul's Dayton Classic Revivals. Those are my goto listening when I play LP's. I really like 3-way speakers.

If the "white" (MDF) rings around the driver frames bother you, it's common to just zip a black Sharpie around the opening behind the driver.

Re: My Classix II

I don't own the os mtm's but its hard to imagine that the os can reach the mid 30hz range of the classix.

QUESTION:
Would adding stuffing help that bass sound less boomy?

Re: My Classix II

I have a hand full of stuffing in mine.

Re: My Classix II

I've never heard a "Classic" 6.5"er have an F3 of 35Hz in ANY kind of box (F6 in the upper 30s MAYBE, but not F3 in the mid 30s). Typically they'll do near 40 in a vented box. I THINK the OS do about 50. Using a pair of woofers (MTM) doesn't lower the extension, it just gains sensitivity and power handling.

Re: My Classix II

I am thinking of building a set of these for inside my Gazebo outside.
Do the Classix II use the 8 or 4 ohm version of the DC 160?

[sonex]

Re: My Classix II

classix are a 8 ohm design.
