Ok... Initial setup... more to come later.

I spun off from this thread to discuss 8" 2 way xo topologies.

Hi Wolf,

Any chance you could post a bill of materials for the crossover for the Project MAX, coils, caps ets. I could not find coils with the dc that you detailed in you xover plan. Look forward to building this one

The schematic states some resistors may need to be added, as I assume you mean the Tweeter shunt-coils. I believe they are 0.3mH/0.4mH, and I used 1 ohm 10W resistors in series to get relatively close. Sometimes they measure a bit higher, and you can measure the resistors to get even closer to the specs I listed.

I intend on posting a writeup when they are complete, as they are not yet, and then a cut-list, BOM, and everything else will be listed. This is the first project that I'll have to list a full cut-list due to complexity, and the xover is fairly complex too.
Thank you for your interest!

Hi Wolf,

I posted the same reply on project MAX, Just ignor. I have used the M8a in some large 3 way speakers and maintain it has some of the best bass for the size and price for any driver i have heard. It works in a relativelly small box and better in a big one. I dont know why it is not used on a wider basis!!! Is the tweeter as good as you say?

The DX25 does what it was intended for. It's not as sweet as the AirCirc, but for 1/10th the cost, I guess it doesn't have to be! It is rather articulate, and engaging.
