  • Tweeter/woofer match ideas

    I have a couple of North Acoustics D25-06S tweeters collecting dust and I wondered about a good 6 1/2" mid-woofer match in about .5 cu.ft. ported. I have a good sub so getting the last 3 Hz bottom-end isn't nearly as important as excellent mid-range and crisp mid-bass, not "flabby". My honest budget for the pair of mid-woofers is about $200 and no more than $85 each for the XO's or $350 for the project (less enclosure and hardware).

    The Peerless 830874 would be well under your budget, and is a very flexible driver.

      I did a project using those tweeters and the HiVi D6.8. I can share the crossover if you are interested.

        Thanks, both of you! Navy Guy, I'd love to see your XO.
        RPB, I'm partial to the 830874/830873 too. I built the late Lou C.'s Veepers, but I'd like some quality rear mains too. In either case, I'll probably use the Denova .56 cu. ft. knock-down enclosures.

          I'll look for the crossover info this week. Here is the post about it. https://r.tapatalk.com/shareLink?sha...0&share_type=t

            Chuck also did the Misfits with the Norths and the Madisound Misco 6.5" woofer. There is a blurb in the Gallery here in the forum.
            Arlis has used this tweeter at least 3 times, so he likely has some as well.

              On the woofer circuit:
              1.0 mH series
              66 uF with 5 ohm resistor parallel
              0.5 mH series

              Tweeter circuit
              7 Ohm series
              2.2 uF series
              0.6mH with 1.5 Ohm total resistance in parallel
              8.2 uF series
