DIY Speaker Project PAD

Many thanks to Mark, Kerry and Dan for the excellent event. I haven't been to an event since last years Iowa DIY so I was very focused on listening to everyone's speakers. I didn't get to meet several individuals that I wanted too and somehow, it escaped me until near the end that we had an SB rep i...

1) I have a rebuilt Dyna ST 70 putting out 40 good watts per channel. Will this be adequate to power the Statements in my 16 X 24 living room? I am not a bass fiend... 2) The 5 foot tall transmission-line design were vetoed by my Luddite spouse. She did agree to the sealed version, though. Now, to ...

Sorry, I haven't replied. The bottom bass cabinet is reasonably flexible in size as long as you end up with a net of 75-80 liters volume. However, the top cabinet needs to maintain the same width and depth within +/- 10% of the original design to sound as designed. Reversing the tweeter and mid is a...

The Statements line of speakers is sealed. You might look at the Anthology's or the new Bordeaux design will be available within the next couple months on Curt's website. Send Curt an email for more info.

I'm currently on vacation and won't be returning until mid October.

In the plan on Jim's site, it looks like the mid uses a 2.4Ohm and a 3.3Ohm resistor. On the Me...

Sweet! Did they meet your expectations?

Jim

This is an easy one. Yes to both questions. However, I'd suggest that you increase the height of the cabinet 3/4" if you're doubling the bottom plate so the volume remains the same.

We like build pictures.

Hi Kenny,

Thank you! I appreciate your comments. It was great meeting you and hope our paths will cross again in the future.

Jim

Very nice JR! I'm looking forward to hearing them at Iowa.

Jim

I can't wait to hear these Jim!!! How do you like them? Hi Matt, The Anthology's have exceeded my expectations. The Statements II are still my reference but these are veeeery close. I'm happy! :mrgreen: I'm going to drag them around the country this year. I hope our paths cross. They're going to Da...

Is this a "check the gallery for a soon to be announced ..." because I don't see any mention of them in the gallery. The picture looks nice. I'll bet the sound nice. Michael Check the last post in the gallery for basic details about the project. The complete kit will soon be listed here a...
