RS-P WWMTM 3 Way underway ( pic heavy )

Re: RS-P WWMTM 3 Way underway ( pic heavy )

Yeah, I did multiples because all of mine had a plethora of parts and my bracing didn't allow for large boards and I found it a bit easier. Now that I know about barrier strips I'll use those as well.

I knew I had it somewhere.... this is the woofer section for my Khanspires...

nice ...

i thought about multiple boards and may end up doing so .... Josh has got my 3ohm resistors in the mail , once i have those i'll get to work ....

Re: RS-P WWMTM 3 Way underway ( pic heavy )

i hear ya Joey and i've been studying them laying on top of the speaker for a while , my main concern is the size of these caps . did you see how big the 75uF is ???

the things the size of a beer can ...

Hhahaha yeah, I have a 90uf in my surrounds I think and a 12awg or 14awg inductor. Thing weighs like 5 lbs alone.

Sadly, tear all that apart, lay it out nice and neat, I try my best to make it as fluid as possible but sometimes it just doesn't happen, give the resistors some breathing room, hot glue/zip-strip the big stuff down, solder underneath, put standoffs on the board, then stick it in there.

hu hu....he said stick it in there.....

Don't make the crpssover build more difficult than it needs to be, it's not very complicated. Just take your time, lay things out neatly, secure, then solder.

Any chance of more pics of the finished units?

you can count on it Rory ! Thanks again for handling the tweeter issue ...

this is where i tend to run outta steam during my builds , they are together in place and being used . i find it hard to get motivated and get the finish done .

today i went to the Shack and got some circuit boards so i no longer have an excuse not to get the XO's together , tho i have to admit my lack of experience in putting XO's together does have me a lil concerned as these do deserve some good work ...

these things are amazing . i've had no desire to turn on my surrounds or sub they sound so good !!!

LMK when you put a setup in the bathroom.

Re: RS-P WWMTM 3 Way underway ( pic heavy )

damn guys , i think i'm hooked on speaker building . is there help for it ???

i'm already planning surrounds for these and they don't even need them ... :eek:

No hope. No escape. Your house slowly starts to fill up with wonderful sounding pairs of speakers in every room.

If you have lots of friends and/or family, they start giving you more affection.:D

Re: RS-P WWMTM 3 Way underway ( pic heavy )

Here's the preliminary parts list-

Woofer
6mH 18/19 ga steel laminate
80uf

Mid
75uf
1.3mH 18/19 ga steel laminate
20uf

Tweet
0.04mH 18 ga air core
1.75 Ohms
10uf
0.2mH 18 ga air core
30uf

cross-over is finalized , the only change as i can tell is 3ohm on the tweeter instead of 1.75 . if i'm incorrect please correct me Josh ...

Re: RS-P WWMTM 3 Way underway ( pic heavy )

new tweeter in . i listened to them all last night and i think we're there . i may try going down on the padding for a couple days just to have a listen but at this point think we got it just right . still need to get the XO's onto boards , thinking of using peg board but its the one thing we don't have in the shop . also i need to figure out what size trailer hitch ***** i want to use for feet and get those , but we're real close to breaking down and finishing ...

a few thoughts : these are everything thing i was looking for . clean , accurate , big , loud and amp friendly . i'm really happy so far and honestly can't stop smiling . :D

Re: RS-P WWMTM 3 Way underway ( pic heavy )

i agree Jeff . new tweet will be here tomorrow and i am again giddy and looking forward to getting these done . even with two different tweeters they sound amazing !

Re: RS-P WWMTM 3 Way underway ( pic heavy )

thanks for the support guys , but Rory really stepped up and is shipping my a new RS28F and handled this really well and with class ...

to the tech i talked to , next time someone asks if they need to bring this up in his build thread ya might want to pull up said thread before ya say " thats your prerogative " ....

Great! But it shouldn't take Rory reading a thread to get it right. I hope PE has addressed this internally, but we will leave that up to them.
