Hi all Audio Circle members.
This is what happen when you have no wood working skil and a few tools.
The result is not a work of art, but the basic design is not uncommon.
Many diy'er have done something similar.
The two woofers are Eminence 12" Acoustinator (Parts Express 116 USD (Paid 25 USD/each) - Fs 31Hz - 94.7db/1M/1W - QTS 0.52) driven by Danny's now discontinued SA-1 300 watts plate amplifier (Paid 129 USD).
The mids and hare taken care by a extended range Audio Nirvana 8" std paid a few years ago only 78 USD/pair from Common Sense Audio.
I drive that contraption with a Decware SE84C+ SET amplifier paid 795 USD.
...and that ugly combo keeps me happy at both ends, low and high.
Of course, if I feel more demanding, I still have my GR Research V1.
I have change the placement of my speakers. It did not improve the sound, but it did not deteriorate it neither.

As long as they sound good to you Guy, that's all that matters in the big scheme of things.

Hi decal and all Audio Circle members.
The most imnportant thing is that they sound good to me,
because I built those for me, not for the neighbor, not for my wife, only for me.
And guess what?
The guys from Thivan Audio Technology also like the sound of them.
So, that's a total of three guys and still counting...
I don't build audio stuff to impress others.
I build audio stuff to impress me and with those, I am impressed.

Hi AJinFLA and all Audio Circle members.
(What a strange nick name you got ? ? ? )
How would you call them ?
Unless I am wrong and/or ignorant, it's an open baffle U frame configuration.
If that's wrong, please educate me, I am always ready to learn, even at 65 years old.

Hi AJinFLA and all Audio Circle members.
(What a strange nick name you got ? ? ? )

My initials and where I live. Sort of like GUYinNAM?

How would you call them ?

Open baffles. Not suggesting a move to that Circle. Just that they are "un"enclosed  .

cheers,

AJ
