Good point I remember that T 25 was easier to cross lower then crescendo T25 1600 crescendo 2500 but anyway very good sounding drivers. A few weeks back I had a chance to listen to Seas T29D 001 as my friend bought a 2 pairs for his system sounded pretty good but I wish I had it at home for more evaluation/testing but 10k for a pair of tweeters is just insane Edited June 28, 2018 by jkn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have built a few boxes in the past some which were light using just one layer of MDF/PLY some heavier using thicker ply and some really heavy using several layers of ply/MDF and It seems that more rigid /damped/heavy boxes performed better so I have decided to use concrete this time around and also because I have decided to use separate enclosure for each driver.

CamSemp Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 Wowsers, that's a lot of cutting. What sort of ply have you used? Just butt joins? Can't wait to see how they turn out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't wait to see how they turn out. you right a lot of cutting !! I have used 18mm form ply for the internal enclosures and 19 Marine ply (already veneer) on the outside layer The visual butt join is the 1 1/2 round bit on the front than of course visual joints are on the back of the boxes which does not bother me If I'm happy with the speakers I might do final veneer to the lot..?? maybe that is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
