Am I gona go to prison for that ?

Guy 13,
 
You are under arrest.
 
You have the right to design speakers without the use of any design formulae.  Anything you choose to do with those drivers and crossover may be used against you in a public audio forum.  You have the right to a speaker designer.  If you cannot afford a speaker designer, one will not be provided for you.
 
Enjoy your projects.  I've told a few people that stacking a couple of dissimilar bookshelf speakers on top of each other did not necessarily make for a better sound, but they said they were awesome and sounded great!  Who am I to try and burst their bubble, maybe they did?

Some of you guys are being too hard on the OP. He stated up front that this was a temporary solution to be done on the very cheap. He knew from the beginning that it wasn't ideal. A crossover redesign would not be consistent with his intended purpose. I admire the OP for being daring enough to do it, and to learn from it.  At least he's got some music to enjoy now.

Hi all Audio Circle.

I clearly understand you point,
but that's it.

No more pictures and comments on any of my projects.

You will not see any pictures and/or any comments on my next project,
which is the Danny's V1 drivers in a dipole baffle.

Anyone interested in my (Crazy) projects,
can always send me a PM
and I will be more than happy to send you pictures with comments.

End of it !
Some of you are spoiling my only fun,
building audio stuff.
This country (Vietnam) is so boring that
I need something to keep my mind active,
otherwise I will go crazy, unless I am already crazy.
Some of you might say, that if I don't like it in Vietnam,
I just have to go back to Canada,
I wish I could, but can't afford to do that right now.
It will take one or two more years.

This is all about enjoyment. Guy 13 had fun with his project and likes the sound. Finally, as he stated there is a great learning curve in experimenting. Guy, your enthusiasm is infectious! Keep it up.

If you having fun and even sound good to you, that's bonus.
Keep on doing what you like.

Xin chao TrungT and all Audio Circle members.

Ho yes, I will keep doing what I like,
unfortunately not everyone will have the chance to see my future projects
and fortunately,
some that ask me about my crazy projects via PM,
will have the chance to enjoy something different.

Hi Guy 13,

Okay, lets see, what happened here.  You took a few liberties with the original design spec and when you were done, you loved the resulting sound.  How can this be bad?  Instead of criticizing they should be asking why it sounds so good.  It looks like the volume of the cabinet is about the same as an N3, do you know if it is?  The lobbing between the drivers may be a little better in the vertical plane, making the whole thing work better placed on top of the subs.  I could easily envision how this could sound very nice, congrats on a great economical build. 

Please don't stop posting here because a few know nothings try to tell you what to do.  I have a certain faith in your judgement because you tried a few other builds and didn't like the sound, so it's not a case of the builder being in love with the result because he built it.  Follow your own vision, that's what's important.  Keep on posting.

I personally hope Guy 13 does not stop posting to AC.

Design philosophy aside, I hope he doesn't take the constructive criticism too personal.

He really does seem like a nice "Guy".

Hi persisting1 and all Audio Circle members.

I can confirm that I am a nice guy, that`s why my name is GUY.

The Audio Circle members that critesized all the time,
are always the same members,
they should try once in a while to bring some encouraging compliment,
that might motivate me more...

Hi Letitroll98 and all Audio Circle members.

I took a few liberties.

Thanks, that’s a nice way to put it.

Now let me put it my way:

I took Danny’s drivers and made my own enclosure design?

Let say I did not modify Danny’s design,
but made my own experimental design.
How does that sounds?

Better?

I love the sound of that pair of speakers that made me poorer by only a few $ $ $

May I had that compared to my V2 (Guy 13 style) it’s no match.

However, sometimes comparing side by side audio products is not always good.
If those newly built pair of (N3) Guy 13 speakers were to be the last speaker I would own,

I would gladly keep them and they would be enough for me, of course with the two F12G Rythmik subwoofers, I bought from Danny.

Now let see,

I bought from Danny the following kits:

V1, V2, V2 without coaxial driver, N3, two F12G.
Not bad from a single customer that claim is poor or broke.

I will post soon my next built and so no Audio Circle by the book members complain that I did not follow the original design of Danny, I will call my next built D212CX12.

Dipole, 2 X 12” sub + Coaxial 12”

That way, no one will say that I have modified Danny’s design,

That one will be my design with my model number D212XC12.

Can wait to see the reaction of some Audio Circle members when I post my pictures of my D212CX12.

Hi borism and all Audio Circle members.

Thanks, look as if I will keep posting.

Look, Guy13, i am a total screw up kind-of-guy when it comes to building things. (last time I tried to hang some  brackets for a curtains in my office, my drill bit got stuck, I almost broke it inside the wall, took me hour hour to pull it out, etc, etc, etc...)

Anyway, so, I am really impressed that you can build these things.  Please keep posting, as it really encourage all of us, and specially me to maybe, one day, I will take on a DYI project.
