Converting AV-3s to use as a center with NEO-2x?
« on: 8 Aug 2008, 12:59 am »
Hey Danny do you have a center cooking for us to use with the Neo-2x line? 

I just got my parts today to build my Neo-2x!  Thanks, I'm excited now! 

So now I was wondering, would it be possible to "convert" my AV-3s into a center for the NEO-2x if I was to change the tweater for a Neo3pdr?  Or would the M130 woofs of the AV-3s have to change also to voice the center correctly with the Neo-2x?

Thanks.

Yes, I have basically an A/V-3S and A/V-3 using the new deep back cup Neo tweeter in the works.

The larger face plate Neo tweeter would require a slightly taller (or wider) box as the driver spacing increases. All of the crossover would be different as well.

So I don't think I would convert. I'd just build a new one.

Good, thanks Danny.  Will you be using a PE box as well for this new Neo center?

They don't really have one that fits this application.
