Great looking project, I bet they are going to sound NICE! Love the demo, breaking in the Vifa's with the Orion 225 HCCA...what an underrated little BEAST!!
@bigdwiz The 225 and the 250 (got both) are possibly my favorite car amps. So beautiful. Well you know, you've got em too :) I cant wait to finish the speaker project and then see how it actually sounds not only on my main home amp, but through the hcca - just to compare the SQ of the car amp vs home amp. I'm curious. The speakers will end up being 4 ohm each. Maybe the 250HCCA will be better to test with.
@MKBEntertainment I'm going to be powering these speakers with my Threshold SA3 which is a modest 50wpc but its high current so it should offer lots of control :)
Regarding the crossover, you might consider Dayton's proven crossover design for the mid-bass and the tweeter from the Dayton Audio RS621 two-way speaker kit (302-856) and then create the 3rd crossover point (e.g. 80Hz) between the woofer and mid-bass. The schematic is found linked to the product page. Can't wait to see the finished product. Happy building!
@theaudiophilestore Oh wow I didnt even know about that kit! I will definitely do that then because it will save me lots of time and frustration. Do you think the little 6" is going to be fine at 80Hz? I've heard from some that they dont like to be driven very hard - but then again I dont know what their definition of hard is. At first I was thinking 150Hz then bumped it to 200Hz. I imagine the lower I'd go, the better for imaging.
@theaudiophilestore I just checked that kit out. Its very similar with the only difference being the aluminum tweeter vs silk. I'd imagine it would be quite close. I might only need to tinker just a little to perfect it. Thanks again :)
PS. I dont know why audio as a hobby is addictive like crack but I dont mind it at all ;)
