RS-P WWMTM 3 Way underway ( pic heavy )

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

The unfinished picture threw me. It may be fine, but check this picture that I altered with some tags. Do the woofer and mid grounds run across the backside of the pegboard, and connect right at the middle of the big cap on the top?

yeah your tags are right and i did run some of the grounds underneath . the tweet ground is not attached to the uF bundle just looks like it .

yes

Are your components only zip tied to the peg board or did you also use a little hot melt glue (not visible) underneath? If no glue I'd be slightly concerned about vibrations.

I like hot melt glue and totally trust it for most any size cap, resistors, and small air core inductors. I only add zip ties for large inductors and mongoid caps

at present they are just zip tied but i think i'll bring the hot glue gun home from work tomorrow , couldn't hurt ...

I've used hot glue before, but prefer not to. The high temperature might cause some damage to a cap. Unless you have something so loose that its flopping around, I wouldn't add glue.

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

ok , everything is pretty tight but i'll double check , gonna grab the glue gun anyway as i still need to get the second one together this weekend ...

also gonna get to the flea-market and see if i can find a good deal on 8 chrome trailer hitch ba!!s for use for feet . i'd hate to order them online as shipping would be high ...

Still no pics, come on with the anticipation

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

bunch of pics Tom ... but i think this one is back on page 7 ... ya just gotta picture two of them in black .




getting the 2nd XO together now ...

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

a little closer guys , XO #2 done ...




now all i need is to get my feet then i can break them down and start finishing ...

I rarely use glue on my pegboard xovers. Usually for nothing more than to keep conductors isolated if necessary.
On the larger coils or caps, you would use more zipties. I got a ziptie-gun for Christmas last year, and I love it!
No need for adhesives, and stuff becomes modular and easily tweaked.

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

I'm curious about the series 0.04mH inductor you're using in front of the tweeter filter (on your schematic). What role does that play?

That's one way to tilt down the topend on the RS28F, as it has a top-octave rise. The other method would be a CR across the tweeter.

thanks for the answer Wolf , i was going through my notes trying to find it hoping Josh would see it .
