In my dad's years of autobody, he always preferred "Rage Gold", but it's hard to find around here now that he isn't in the business anymore, so I just use the Bondo junk from Walmart. It's not as good as the better stuff, but it does the …
I got them positioned better and hooked up a sub, and now I'm really enjoying them. Mids are very similar to my RBRs (as they should be). The highs sound different than the RBRs, and I think I prefer them. The SB tweeters sound a little "soft&…
Tonight I put the drivers back in the cabs so I could start listening. They look nice next to my RBRs. =)

I still need to fool with positioning. Initial listening was with them not aimed properly, and the imaging was a bit washed out. …

A lot of the little Class D amps have optical inputs. I recently bought a Fosi DA-2120C for my inlaws to power some 5" Silver Flute 2 ways that I built for them a decade ago. I tested it out before I gave it to them and I was really im…

Yup. It's got the hex shaped rear chambers, and when you take it apart it's got the 6 neo magnets around the voice coil assembly. The interesting thing is that the T25CF-001 has the same Hexadym magnet system, but has a different replacemen…
I made some progress today. I gave the woofers a quick cleaning and popped the dust caps out. I used a rounded dowel rod to do the heavy lifting, then used an angled coat hanger for the precision work. They don't look great, but they're as good as t…

Are my pics showing for you? They don't for me.
Anyway, I can access the back of the dust caps through the pole piece vent, so hopefully I'll be able to get them back into shape with minimal cosmetic damage, and then once I give them a good…
So, here come the pictures!
...or not. Do I need a certain post count for pics to work?
Here is the pair of speakers. Rough overall.

I quickly function checked them and a…
I suppose it will be interesting to measure the woofers and compare to see if this one ends up any different. Hopefully it won't change the response in the passband region.
I just looked at a bunch of 10" woofers to rebuild a set of cheap monkey coffins, and was keen on some of the MCM 10s, but when I found info from folks who used them, I kept seeing comments about them not measuring anywhere close to published s…
help a dummy understand... aside from the high inductance indicating that it might be using a primitive motor assembly, why does the high inductance signify that it's not a good hifi option?
Beautiful woodworking!
I've been wanting to try those MCM woofers. Is that rising response real or is that because of baffle step? Your baffle step filter only seemed to extend to 300hz, but the rising response in your measurement seems to extend mu…
I'm not sure what they cost in your part of the world, but I really like the sound of Seas 27TDFC tweeters. I have a pair for an RS180S TMM build that I'll get to eventually.
