These speakers looks great as well as impressively huge. What kind of amp do you use with these?

Full,

It looks like a series design. 10mh/68uf -> ~200hz ?

With 6.8mH inducttor and 106uF cap we will get 187Hz cut.

Those speakers look amazing! Only 6 hours to build them??

What is the advantage of the curved design?

Avoid comb filter effect.

Yep, now I understand that it's an easily assembled kit, not a full build.

Sorry for the confusion on the 6hrs.. it’s a kit. 

@ the curved frame (1) phase ? (2)  increased structural inertia ?  interesting statics question to be honest.

With regard to the concave baffle setup, is the design brief not addressed somewhere obvious on the site?

Just watched this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=96&v=o_8BNXNLVVQ (https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=96&v=o_8BNXNLVVQ), totally lusting after these mamma jammas. The audio sample at the end sounds gooooooooood. Need a big space for 'em, I imagine.

I know this is an older thread, but wanted to know how the bass output/support differs with the top woofers vs the bottom woofers since they are close to the floor.

I'm contemplating building something similar for my system mainly to conserve space in my small room.

How can I calculate this ?

Avoid iron core inductors they are bad sound,
they are first order/6dB but are cheap.

@happyrabit / Dwight


How far from the back wall do you have the speakers from the rear wall and how large (dimension would be helpful) is your room.


Title: Re: PAP Quintet15
Post by: happyrabbit on 10 Nov 2018, 02:19 am
See attached (moved recently).  It’s a big space including dinning room plus kitchen.  ~4’  to the back wall.

Thx.  Taking a guess on the dimensions, but the width is most likely around 15 to 16', with the length closer to 25 to 30' and ceiling around 9 or higher.

One more pic.  Pretty close on the dimensions  :green:
