I've successfully built TriTrix TL speakers a few years ago. They are awesome!!
I just built some Overnight Sensations and I think I did something wrong. They don't sound very good (to me). The low-end is nice and full. But overall, it's not a very crisp sound. Now, I'm 56 yrs old, have had constant high-pitched ringing in my ears for at least 30 of those years. I don't wear hearing aids, but have been tested (and suggested my hearing isn't bad enough yet). I'm using a ZK-1002M audio amp connected to my computer.
I used THIS YouTube audio test and I can't hear anything above 6kHz. My wife can though. On the high-freq test, she doesn't hear anything past about 13.5kHz (but her hearing might not be what it was either.
I thought something might be messed up on the crossover. But I quadruple-checked the crossover and it certainly appears to be wired OK.
I disconnected the woofers and just listened to the tweeters on a regular song off YouTube. I can hear audio - but not very loud.
I also don't have everything completely sealed up in the cabinet yet, but there can't be a whole lot of leaking air. The polarity is correct.
Any suggestions on how either verify I built everything correct - but without any fancy test equipment? Or other suggestions? I can post pictures if needed.
Thanks.
