Hi guys. Thought I'd start a thread on a new build. Hopefully I can have this ready for KYDIY next month. This features that new Peerless Aluminum dome and the new 150mm Anarchy woofer. Erich sent me the parts and they arrived today, along with a couple of roughed MDF enclosures. I loaded up one of them and took some sweeps so I could get a crossover modeled up in order to get some parts in the shopping cart.
First off, this tweeter looks pretty darn nice. Measurements show a distortion profile that would let you cross at 1500Hz without a problem. While not the smoothest response on this baffle, an L-pad, two caps and an inductor produced a very smooth overall response, and the woofer only required 4 parts, an inductor and parallel cap to notch the high frequency resonance, and a cap and resistor to provide the roll off required to get a 4th order LR at 2200Hz.
I'll start voicing this as soon as the parts arrive. In the meanwhile, have a look at the Ares and the sim.
